When I bought the domain for friskyfans, I was so poor that I opted to purchase the less expensive friskyfans.org address from Network Solutions... even though the .com was available.

I've never had a problem with it. My latest website project, which is about Hawaiianaware, had to go with a .org because someone bought the com. ORG addresses substitute nicely. I've never liked .net domain names--- too geeky sounding.

One thing I picked up from working in the trenches - .biz domains get very crummy treatment in search engines. Plus, spam blockers are likely to block .biz emails since they are typically spam.

On the other hand, I built a website for my apartment property manager. She was a skinflint, so I registered a .bz domain, which was on sale and I could grab a good sounding name out of it. Turns out, she scores well in search engine rankings for what we want, and everything works just fine. bz domains are cheap too.

Just a tidbit.
