      We have a niche keyword domain possibility but I am not sure which way, if any, is better.

      The .com and .co.uk options are not available but there are various other ones - including .org, .net, .uk.com.  Is there any domain/seo benefit of one version over another?

      Any thought gratefully received..

        I would say there is little benefit at all to anything other then a .co.uk or .com exact match domain.

        If I was to choose anything I would probably go with .org.uk.

          I would say that it is more important to have a direct match (keyword) domain name with a .uk inclusion. If a .co.uk or .com isn't available then any other .uk domain in my opinion would be the best way forward.
