TOPIC: Multiple domain name

Hey Dom I've really been thinking of getting several other domain names (not all right now) and I wanted to find out what is better, .com or .biz?  I did a search for hlchomeinspections and both .com and .biz are available.  .com is more common and cheaper, but I was thinking that maybe I should stay with .biz because my other one is .biz and it would keep things simple. 

I want something short so I can put it on my truck window and everyone can remember it with a quick glance.  Godaddy says HLC.com is already taken but then when it listes all the .whatevers (forgot what they are called) it says back order now for the .com.  What does that mean?

Extensions don't matter. Lots of HIP users are getting .biz because the name itself is extremely important. You REALLY want the word home inspections or home inspector in your domain name. If the majority of jobs are in one city, get that in your name too. Back order just means you put on a waiting list for the day that will never come where someone forgets to re-register the name.

If you're just looking for something on your truck, that's fine. Just make it redirect to your real site. Just don't use it for links online.

I'm thinking of getting in time the following links

oklahomahomeinspections
hlchomeinspections (wish i could get just hlc)


Others I could get

(city names)homeinspector
(city names)homeinspection

Point is, I want everyone who searches for a home inspector here in oklahoma to find me!!!

You'd have to actually have a site at each of those names. A totally separate site, otherwise there's no point. Redirects will never end up on Google.

Yes, that's why I asked a few weeks ago about the costs for multiple sites.  Its something I think I want to do in the future.

Gotcha! We have quite a few guys now with 2 sites and some working on their third. I think the fact they're  coming from places charging them 60 bucks a month makes it easier to justify.
