Do you think .co is a bad domain? - Colton - 04-08-2014 04:45 AM
I just bought a .co domain (smartsupply.co) and now I'm having seconds thoughts. I think a lot of people will type .com out of habit which will take them to an empty website. The .com is available but it's very expensive and I don't have the funds. So should I change the name or go with .co?

i would keep it

Keep this one and get some SEO'd traffic to it so that Google can see it.
The smartsupply.com one is currently in parked status, so even if it gets mis-typed, the user will need to look at what he did - and fix it.
It's not often that people type in the domains in the address bar, unless there is definite brand attraction, which takes a lot more effort than I'm thinking that you have a budget for.

If I were you, I'd keep it. You already bought it. I'm sure removing 'm' if ever they typed '.com' in mistake is as easy as one-two-three.

I think Start work of that domain But Yes .com is better in the comparision of .co

Yes, .co is subdomian,
if you want to buy just sitename.co you will waste your money and time working on it.
You will have more successful website if you find another name sitename.com and buy .com
Good luck!
