Our recommend list of Top Level Domains (TLD’s) to look out for:
.com – the classic TLD for any site anywhere in the world. Virtually all the good .com domains have already been bought up though.
.biz (for business sites), .info (for informational sites), .org (for nonprofit sites), .net (for anything Internet-related). These TLD’s have much greater domain name availability than that of .com, but lack the prestige of a dot-com tag. However, you may be able to get exactly the domain name you want.
.co.uk, .eu, .ru, .us,.ca, .es, .de or whatever your local country TLD is, if your target audience is country based. A country TLD is a great way to target those people living in a particular country, but not good if you’re reaching out for a global audience. These domain names tend to be more readily available.
