Classic alternative

Get a .net — the original alternative to .com.

One of the original generic TLDs from 1985. Historically used by network and infrastructure providers. Still a credible alternative when .com is taken and you want something that looks established.

When .com is taken and .io doesn't fit

What it signals

Established, technical, "we've been around." Best for ISPs, hosting companies, and network/infra services.

Pros

Widely recognized — predates almost every other TLD.
Lower price than .io / .ai.
No registry restrictions.

Watch-outs

Slightly dated feel — younger brands tend to pick .io or .co instead.
Users still type .com first.
