Why choose a .com domain?
A .com domain is the default choice for a reason. It's what people type when they can't remember your full address, what they assume when someone mentions a website, and what carries the most weight with mainstream audiences. The challenge isn't whether you want a .com—it's whether the one you want is available.
Best for:
- Universal recognition - The extension everyone knows and trusts by default
- Type-in traffic - Users often add ".com" automatically when guessing URLs
- Maximum credibility - Signals an established, legitimate business to all audiences
- Highest resale value - Premium .com domains command the largest aftermarket prices

FAQ about .com domains
History and momentum. The .com extension launched in 1985 as one of the original top-level domains, intended for commercial entities. It became the default through decades of use, marketing, and the simple fact that it's what people expect. Today, over 160 million .com domains are registered—more than any other extension.
