I am going to scoop up a few domain names and point them to my site.
Things like surgeprotectors.com are gone. Someone is camping on them.
So, looking at variations like surge-protection
Adding a plural. Not sure what non alphanumeric typographical
characters are allowed other than the hyphen.
Is there any prohibitions against using any TLD like .org?
Is a .org or .info equivalent to a .com when you are looking for stuff?
Lots of .co, .us and .biz out there. Should be equivalent but perhaps
not?
Need opinions.
There's a metric ass ton of TLDs now so none of that matters anymore.
Except like gov and edu.
You could probably even do surge.protection since that's a TLD now.
I have a customer that's a contractor that started using the
"contractors" TLD instead of the traditional ones.
I registered roller.network a while back since minus the dot it's
literally the company name. Haven't started using it because I'm not
sure people are used to seeing TLDs like that yet.
