People frequently ask me what I think are the most important domain extensions to own for development and for protective purposes. My off the cuff first response is typically “.com and maybe .org.”
I registered a set of domain names for a new company a month ago, and I looked back on the names I bought this morning. I registered the .com for the primary website, as well as the .net, .org and .info for protective purposes. I believe these extensions have garnered the most recognition and trust amongst consumers, and I believe they are the most important to register. I don’t think anyone would try to pass themselves off as this company, but these are the extensions I care enough about to register.
This isn’t earth shattering news by any stretch, but just a tidbit of information about my new registration habits and thoughts.

New York Domain Get Together Details
The New York Domain get together will be held on Tuesday, December 9 from 7 – 9pm at 420 Bar and Lounge on the Upper West Side at 420 Amsterdam Ave (between 80th and 81st). I have reserved the basement bar area, and there will be a cash bar with happy hour discounts – no cover charge. Although there aren’t food options available in the bar area, there are plenty of restaurants in the neighborhood.
If you haven’t let me know if you’ll attend, please do so in the comment section or via email. I want to give them a head count.
