It really does not matter what your domain name extension is with regards to .com, .net or a .org with regards to being able to rank as they are all top level domain names. However, the .com is still the legacy extension. Get your domains here: https://davidutke.com/namecheap

A .net, .org and a .com are all top level domain names, same with a .co. That means that these domain extensions are treated the same with regards to any search engine algorithm. With that said however, a .com is obviously the best as it's the legacy domain extension and most users associate it with any web address.

Where you need to be careful is when you decide to use a county code specific domain. If you're in say Ireland and decide to use a .ie extension or you're in Canada and using a .ca extension it WILL be more challenging to reach a wider audience.

But if we are deciding between a .com, .net or .org then NO it does not matter what your domain name extension is. What matters is the quality of your site and your links (among many other variables).

Just make sure to always check first. If you see the .com is taken, but the .net or .org is available go for it so long as the .com is being squatted on (meaning it's simply owned but not in use).
