Buy All of Your Domain Name

Postby ozzie on Sun Mar 30, 2008 10:58 pm

Is it true that you should buy all of the possible extensions of your domain name? For instance, houses.com; houses.info; houses.net; houses.biz; Would the reason for this being so you would have a total monopoly on the word? I'm still learning, hopefully. :D

I'm still learning too ozzie, but I've also heard about that strategy.

Also, I've heard about buying misspellings too. I guess that would probably apply to names a little more complex than "houses" since that one's pretty straight forward.

Yes and no - only buy all extensions if you plan on making a big site, like I own Celrus.com - Celrus.net - and Celrus.org and also own Sinul.com and Sinul.net - working on the .org. Id say the big ones you need to get are:

.Com
.Net
.Org
And country [.us, .ca, .cn, ,uk, etc.]

Only reason I wanted to buy all the Celrus and Sinul ones is so no one can try and profit off my name and such :)

But if you're just making a little site, you don't need to get all crazy about buying :P

If you literally had houses.com, then yes you should definitely buy all extensions imaginable. :D

If you're using your own brand for your very successful site and your brand has not been trademarked then you might want to grab the main extensions.
