The logic doesn't automatically extend to other TLDs unless they too are owned by the same firm. Alternative TLDs are often preferable because they're so much cheaper than wasting money on a .com, etc.

Most alternative tlds are more expensive than .com after first year teaser rates expire though

There are various gTLD that are cheaper. For example, .top is great and among the cheapest. It however is falsely maligned by those with small brains who stereotype things.

I like .top domains as well but .de might make more sense.

Considering .top domains have cheap registration and renewal. To me, it does feel as if .top are very speculative. I liked to search random things in tld-list to find unique-word.<any tld> so like random.top but my past experience says that .top domains are bought quite a lot/very speculative.

If possible I like .de but I think that .top are fine too. Both are great for what its worth.

I didn't know about this, can you please elaborate more about it?

Those with small brains who stereotype things often claim that .top is used only for scams, and that if a site is using .top, it means they're a scam site. In making this foolish assertion, they confuse P(A\|B) with P(B\|A). To continue, see the ChatGPT share 699f272e-475c-8012-ae9a-a89bd136fd01 > it does feel as if .top are very speculative Sure, they can be, but again it's no reason to stereotype. They can be or become whatever they want to be.

https://tld-list.com/ Try looking at this website with cheapest renewal rate and removing second country TLD (so only Top level)

In my opinion, .de , .ovh , .uk or personally my country's .in (yes OVH has their own TLD that you can use)

.de is one of the more interesting domains to me personally even though I am not german.
