.org vs .com

1 2022-09-12 10:41

A lot of tech idols use .org domains for their personal sites.
example: catb.org, stallman.org, bellard.org

Is there a reason to prefer a .org domain over a .com domain when the prices are similar.

I'm asking this for a personal blog and project showcase site.

the textbook answer is
com - for profit company
org - non-profit organization
there's no reason to prefer one over another in the practical sense

That is such an ignorant thing to say. Of course if matters!
People tend to remember .com sites better than .org sites. People also tend to mistakenly enter .com instead of .org in many cases which might become a problem if someone registers the .com site.

.com are the best option.

Boomer-tier advice. Every decent .com domain is owned by domain scalpers at this point. Any half-decent business/product name you come up with will have its .com domain listed by some levantine for $20k. You're better off using your actual non-abbreviated, non-prefixed company/product name with one of the wacky new gtlds. Normalfags don't type domain names in anyways, they use social media, google, and app-stores to look you up.

I just use .net
It's my favorite tld. But .org is fine too
.com is cancer though.

Could you please explain your reasoning?
I am starting to like .net as well.

.net sounds like neet

Is levantine some anti semitic term?

It's supposed to mean Arab Christians.

I have heard that people should avoid meme TLDs because they might have awful terms of use.

I also use NET, but this is because I intended to run several network services eventually.

I think it looks nice, and the domain is on the InterNET. I don't have any reasoning beyond that.

What about .xxx

What about .gay

Nothing is wrong with .com plus it's super cheap. IMO it doesn't matter so much as long as the registry is decent. .com and .net are run by the same group of people at the same company.

It's a matter of aesthetics.

I'll bet your girlfriend is covered in jewish tattoos and you think it's "aesthetic."
Get a .com domain
Get a virgin Asian who has no fucking tattoos.
Install Gentoo
Quit fucking porn.

I hope you are using the open source version.

If not, you should consider escaping from the proprietary Microsoft slave house to the free land of FreeDOS.

Only version 2? Version 3 was when they added networking.

22 2022-10-08 20:08 *

Networking considered harmful.

networking

Why do you need that complication in your life? It is just bloat, and a major security risk too.
