On: Ask HN: Do you buy related domains early on (.net, .org, similar spellings)?

[axod]

I'd always buy .com+.net+.org+.co.uk The rest aren't that big a deal.

[DanHulton → axod]

Why .co.uk? Is it actually that popular, or is this UK bias?

Like for myself, would I replace .co.uk with .ca?

[axod → DanHulton]

oh sorry, slight bias (I'm in the UK), also I thought that if you search on google.co.uk it gives some preference to .co.uk domains.

[simonk → axod]

Same if you search google.ca it gives better for .ca domains.
