I've been on the lookout for a domain name to register, to use for my portfolio and one or two other things, and finally, after much vacillation, I settled on a two word name. The only problem is that the .com version, that I really want, has gone. However, the .co.uk and .net (among other suffixes) versions are available, as is the hyphenated .com alternative.
Given that my ideal choice, the unhyphenated .com, had gone, what's the better option - an alternative suffix, or hyphenation?
Like it really matters. But if I get the hyphenated one, I'll always have to say "first bit dash second bit" when I spell it out, and that's annoying. However, I really want a .com, because other suffixes seem kind of lesser, you know, and again, I'll always have to make sure I say "that's dot co dot uk" whenever I tell people the URL.
Hmm. Possibly the most inconsequential quandry that I've ever had to face, and certainly that's ever been posted on OTF. Even including the Pink Panther hat query the other day. Nevertheless, advice welcome. Ta.
