THE FIT
When .com makes sense
Consider .com when your brand needs room to expand beyond a single product, place or industry.
THE TRADEOFF
What to think through
A familiar extension cannot rescue a hard-to-spell name. Compare a concise alternative with any longer .com variation before deciding.
BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Registration and setup
Compare the registrar’s registration and renewal terms. A listed resale price is different from the cost of a new registration.
