Which domain would you recommend?
The two new domains I've got are not perfect: one has a "s" at the end but is a ".com", the other is a ".org". I'm trying to decide on which one to use for my next site. It'll be a site that provides resources for business owners.
So, say, one is "cars.com" and the other is "car.org". Which one would you prefer?
Note: I'm using "cars.com" and "car.org" just for illustration purposes. They're NOT my domains".
Thanks for your input.

In the example you gave, I would definately go with cars.com. Although car.org is less in characters, it is still a .org domain. Apart from that, a user is more likely to type cars.com (with the 's' included), and not car.org -- into their browser text box.

Yeah, I'd definitely go with the .COM because almost all words sound good pluralized. If it was a 'z' at the end then I'd say go with the .ORG, but that's not the case here.
