When you want to promote the .NET extension because you own a Network or you are trying to play on the Microsoft .NET thing you should own the .COM version too. That way you can redirect the .COM miss-typings back to the .NET version. It also helps you establish that your company owns that name. Like a trademark holder but it shows no one else plays with or uses the name. However this is a dangerous slope, because where do you stop. You get the .COM, then .NET, then .ORG. You think you are safe and own them all. Then they release new extensions. Now you have to own .BIZ, .INFO, etc... Hmmm, but why stop there. Get the .CO.UK, .DE, .US, and the other 250+ extensions.

Like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and eBay they have gone after all TLDs. But this can cost thousands a year to do.

But the short answer is you can bundle them togethor and raise your price about 10%.
