Only thing I would say is if you plan on using a non-dot com domain get the dot com too and redirect it to the other domain. People instinctively type the dot com. Just as when you say do a search you say do a Google. I thought it would be kind of cute to use sponsor.chat a few years ago but I found out people were still typing sponsorchat.com more often so i changed it back. I just use sponsor.chat for my name servers now.

The TLD has never mattered inho if you do the right seo on the site

[Ricks-Cams]

It has to be a .com for em when building a site just a habit I suppose.

Google is more logical than I ever thought,why should a TLD matter.

The domain name is what I go for not the tld

you hit the mark

[TheButcher]

The domain name is what I go for not the tld

It depends on the domain name and what tld is available, I would never start a site on any non-dot com domain if I did not own the dot com, that's me.

[porntraveller]

so my .nets are okay

For this yes they are but a .com is always more valuable in many ways.

Why should the the extension of a domain impact the seo, it makes no logical sense.
