Guest Wilhil Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Hi I was wondering if there are any resources anywhere that lists the benefits and pitfalls of using .com (or other TLD) over .local when creating a new domain? Thanks

Guest Johan deheugden Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 RE: .com or .local never use your dns domain name as uour website name.f.i. when your website is http://www.mycompany.com never give your internal dns the same name.if you do,you get problemens with for example connecting to your website from inside.

Guest Wilhil Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 RE: .com or .local Thanks @ Johan Strange, Reading link now! thanks for that @ Johan deheugden, I have always used .local when creating a domain, however in nearly all my Microsoft books, they recommend .com and I just can not see any benefit, so I just wanted to get a better picture. As for not being able to see the website from outside if you use your tld... I have that problem! but that is more of a router issue! :P Anyway, Thanks both of you.
