Do I need a .com as well?

[RogersSEO]

Hello Mozers,

I need your advice.

I have a new client that runs a paralegal shop called - Christophers Legal Advice up here in Canada

ChristophersLegal.com is taken

but ChristophersLegal.ca is available

Question:

Should I register ChristophersLegalAdvice.com and ChristophersLegalAdvice.ca and just redirect the .com to .ca (since both .com and .ca are available)

or should I risk it and opt for the shorter url and just register

ChristophersLegal.ca

I'm thinking that I might be able to get away with just ChristophersLegal.ca since the site will be used to attract new visitors via the search engines and social media.

What do you guys think?

Register all of them immediately.

I would do it before a sniper sees your post and grabs them. Some people also believe that a few registrars sniff the queries and grab nice domains that are not immediately registered.

It will not cost much and you can make a decision over  a glass of wine next month.

Don't try to save ten bucks on something as important as the primary domain of a business.

So true. Buy up all that you can afford as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the advice.  I used a fake company for this question and bought all 3 domains for the real company.

Thanks,

Martin
