Welcome to the Q&A Forum

It's a site offering buying advice from a seasoned professional in a specific field. The site will earn affiliate commissions from sources that the professional recommends.

As for .com vs .org/.pro, lets just say that the .com version of this domain sold for deep into the 7 figures less than 10 years ago.  This is why I'm leaning towards .org or .pro instead of finding a longer domain with the .com tld.

I have the opportunity now to acquire a very desirable generic domain name with either the .org or .pro TLD.  Obviously, the .pro version I can get for a far better price.  The .org will probably end up being about 10x the price of the .pro.

I feel like the .org would give me instant clout while the .pro might raise eyebrows.  Also, I'm concerned that Google might also discount these new gTLDs.

What do you guys think?  Is the perceived authority of the old-time TLDs something worth investing in? Or will this fizzle away over time as the new gTLDs flood the market?

THanks!
