.com Frequently Asked Questions
Q:Why is .com always more expensive than alternative extensions?
.com holds an undisputed monopoly on consumer trust (98.4/100 trust index) and default smartphone keyboard ergonomics (the ".com" key). Corporate executives and consumers instinctively append .com to any brand name.
Q:Are there any unregistered dictionary .com domains remaining?
Virtually zero English dictionary words exist unregistered in .com. Any desirable word must be acquired through secondary marketplaces (Afternic, Sedo, Dan) or private brokerage.
Q:What is the fastest way to appraise a .com domain?
