The real answer is that it depends.\u00a0 It depends on what you are using the website for, and what you would use the extra domain name extensions for.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to promote your website\/company as an organization providing lots of free services, you might want to use the .org domain name as your main domain name.\u00a0 But then you might think what if people think that your website is .com &#8211; you might be losing traffic that way.\u00a0 So, it would be good then to purchase the .com domain name too (if it&#8217;s available), and then redirect it to your .org domain name.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you have commercial content on a .com website and want to offer free services too.\u00a0 In that\u00a0case, if you want to have two\u00a0separate websites, it would be good to get the .org domain name too for your freebie\u00a0website &#8211; same name just different domain name extension.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, most people think of website domain names as .com.\u00a0 So if you have the .com domain name, it is not a huge necessity or benefit to purchase the other domain name extensions if you are just going to redirect them to your .com website.\u00a0 Also, that won&#8217;t make any dent in your search engine optimization and ranking.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to design &amp; build your own website?
