.com vs .net vs .org

[dailypress]

hi all,

I was wondering which is worth more? .net or .org
In this case the word is a nationality.

Also how would you compare them in terms of price and ratio?

Someone had mentioned that .org is probably worth 10% of a .com and .net is worth 20% of a .com? Does that sound about right?

10 vs 20%?

1) May have once held sway in the minds of those who valued domains based upon type-in value metrics. With 1000s of new gTLDs not certain how type-ins will play. .Com still will be a default.

2) With 1000s of gTLDs .net may well get lost in the mix due to its lack of clear application.

3) I'm a fan of .Org so I'm biased. With that admission I'm a bit happy with the emergence of 1000s of gTLDs. I think .Org will hold its place in the minds of folks vs. .Net domains. .Net never gained mindshare at a "network related domain".

For "a nationality" a .Org makes a bit more sense, for a built site, vs. a .Net IHMO when it comes to building and sustaining a site + site identity.

YMMV.

... i've always believed the trouble with schools is that they teach absolutes .. they love formulas, this is worth that etc.

i think for a tech based website then net works and for most things org works,
ultimately .com will always be king, i personally would never use anything unless i also had the .com ... unless the .com was already a strong site and i thought i could 'steal' some of their reputation by implication.

For some reason, when I think of .ORG, I think of an organization. Not like a company but like planned parenthood, goodwill, or the actors guild. May just be me but I'd go with .NET

That's was the original reason for .org however it's been well and truly abused by some...I still prefer .net as a visual extension unfortunately the market/public perception favours .com however the caveat for that is it depends which country one is targetting.

I have some very successful sites running under .asia .co.uk .eu .in etc since they are targetted for those regions.
