The launch of .pw domains to much fanfare would have gone without much of a mention – if it weren’t for the reference to “Professional Web”.
What a poor & weak sales pitch; we were left speechless by the acronym rationale.
The “Professional Web” uses .com, and will continue to do so; in fact, there are numerous alternative TLDs to .pw that work better for that purpose.
- .Net, .Org : always the second best choices if the .com is taken.
- .Co – There’s a reason this start-up sweetheart just announced 1.5 million registrations.
- .Me – If it’s all about “you”, then Montenegro has the solution for your needs.
- .biz – It’s ok if you’re a soccer mom selling your worn panties on eBay.
- .info – If you’re German, you want ‘das info, und schnell!‘
- ccTLDs – Your own country ccTLD works wonders but you might be losing global exposure.
- .XXX – If you’re even loosely related to the adult entertainment industry, then hell yeah! 😀
It might sound harsh, but “PW” stands for “pigeon weed”, more than “professional web.”
hehehe… you said loosely related. 😛
RaTHeaD – That’s what she said!
should have been ‘private web’
You’re gonna make some enemies with this post!
You may be right about .pw unless you’re a Professional Wrestler or a Pregnant Women selling Pocket Watches to Palau – then you will be Proved Wrong!
