A client of mine recently got approached by a company that obtained their company name but as a .COM. They currently have .NET.
The company wants $100USD for it. I prefer .Com, but I wanted some insight from others. Thx.

.com is the OG of TLDs which I think most people relate to, but since a lot of the names are already taken, .net seems to be the next alternative. Depending on the business that you are running would determine the value of the .com. If it's a money maker, then you have nothing to lose by buying the .com and moving forward.

It really doesn't matter anymore the name - just find a title and brute force marketing

as you having same domain with .net and if you can invest $100 for your company.. you must go for .com domain..

$100 is the kind of money you might spend on a night out with friends. The fact that $100 could secure a potentially critical business asset should make the decision a no-brainer.

If the client is serious about their domain, $100 for securing the most popular TLD is still a bargain.
If they need to deliberate about whether $100 for the .com is an investment worth making, then they should stop wasting their time (and yours) as they're clearly not serious about their business - which either means that they're idiots or that it's a business not worth taking seriously.
