Which Domain Extension to Use in Which Project?

Many theories and arguments have been put forward on the choice of domain extension. While some web experts argue that country extensions should be preferred in domain extension selection, some circles mention the importance of choosing the appropriate extension for the project. But there is no proven theory yet.

Most of the projects that exist around the world primarily prefer ".COM" domain names. Actually, the only reason for this is; This extension is one of the first three extensions that are released and can be obtained undocumented by anyone. Therefore, domain names with ".COM" extension are engraved in the memory of the web user. However, with the availability of hundreds of extensions after 2010, the ".COM" habit has gradually disappeared. In the past, the audience that tried to access the site by bringing the com extension to the end of each domain name, has now become asking for the domain name extension. In short, the domain name extension you will use has no significance in terms of the health of your project.

In fact, every domain name made available is created to target a specific project type or geographic location. But as we mentioned before; The excessive use of extensions for various reasons makes these targeting insignificant. In other words, you can use the domain address you want in the project you want, with peace of mind.
