    Well, its a bit different for you because you use your real name. But say for example somebody recomended Revolution Discos to a friend, and another DJ owned the .com version of the domain, there's a chance they'd end up going to the other DJ. It also helps to stop people trading as the same name, so can't cause you problems if they get a bad reputation and people confuse the two companies...

    Fair enough, but I don't think it would generally be a problem unless both businesses were in the same area.

    Thanks guys as both domains are available I'm going to get them both It'll save any confusion and it's virtually impossible for them to log onto the wrong site

    I'd get the .coms just to off the yanks

    They don't have the .co.uk alternative to go at

    In the case of big companies, I'd agree.

    I brought a couple of domains, i started with UltimateShow.co.uk but everyone kept saying the ultimate show so i brought that too and subsequently renamed and re-branded the company after it.

    sadly the.com version has been taken, i would quite like to get it but its just personal preference and i do stuff outside of Europe too so it would be handy in that respect.

    But as has always been stated it dosn't matter to much if you cant get both!
