.COM vs .NET vs .ORG: Which Domain to Get

Should your domain name be a .com, .net, or a .org? Is there a difference? Hold that thought. We have the answers for you below:

So, you have the perfect domain name in mind for a new website, but then you go to buy it and it’s not available under the .com top-level domain (TLD) extension. What next? Do you stick with the domain name but switch to an alternative domain extension like a .net or a .org? Or, is it more important to get that .com extension, which requires you to pick a new domain name?

These are all excellent questions since there’s much confusion about the differences between domain extensions, and if they have any unique purposes at all. So, in this article, we’ll compare the three most popular domain extensions – .com, .net, and .org – and explain their functions, SEO impact, and which ones are best for certain types of websites.
