Your domain name end with ."what"? .com, .net, .org, .edu...
domain .com is alway the best, isn't it? it is popular, easy to remember, cheaper....
Google crawl and rank a site different depend on it is .com, .net or .org.....too
for example: .gov ---> government site---> google crawls the site more

Tell me more if you know anythings else about that

It's hard to say one is 'better' than the other as it will differ. Sure, .com is the most easily recognizable, but extensions such as .gov, .edu serve a particular purpose.

It is also true that a link back to your site from a .edu or .gov is seen as a more relevant sure by Google.

.com is easy to reconize and it is used for commercial purpose.

Yes .com stands for commercial, .co.uk is for uk .gov is for government  .cc is one I don't know but financial seems to be it's market.

.org tends to be non-profit orginisation (mostly) a lot of charities will use .org - it's easier to remember for a charity imho

I prefer .com but I have also had .info's and .biz's before!

.com seems to be more recognized but the others are cheaper options.  Very Happy

Mine ends with .com and .net both  Very Happy
normally everyone wants .com's but the availability of domains in .com extension are less thats why people go for .net's and org's.
I consider the content rather than domain

Usually when it comes to search engines, they will prefer .com first. If I need to get a domain name, my preferences would be .com and if I can't find what I want, then I would go for .net or even .biz

I personally OWN a .info domain(bought it when the prices were same as of .com Neutral  )
according to me, more than the price, the SEO's helps the site to get a proper rank in google.
so even a cheap domain as .info could  get a better rank than a .co,
the site which i have is a PR3 site .Very Happy

What type of domain you have makes no difference to the search engine ranking imo, you have to put the work in to get the good ranking, of course a domain with good keywords will help.

Actually content is the ebst as you told but still some factors play the role.
Generally ccTld's like .co.uk,.co.in,.tk,.us etc are country blevel one sand google recogniases them as the properties related to that country.So generally there's less proplbability of xyzu appearing in google.co.in compared to xyz.in .But com,info,net,org,biz etc gTld's are recognised in all country's google.So better use a gTld

Some of gTld's are
.net
.info
.com
.org
.biz
.name
