Holy smokes! I just checked into it . . . GoDaddy wants $27.99 CAD for a .photography domain.

Who did you register yours through, and how much was the fee (if you don't mind me asking).

This. Why would I want my domain to be something that's not common? It just makes people go :confused:

"What's your website again? www.HiepBui.photograph​y? huh?"

That's what I envision.

One thing that makes me a little wary about grabbing this is that .com (for my region, at least) has become so ubiquitous that it acts as an indicator for legitimacy--even transparently for non-savvy prospective clients.

@Peter: how are you using multiple domains ? Forwarding ? What is the benefit here ?

Also I'd hazard a guess .photography will be quite useful for SEO for some folk...

XY-images.com or XY.photography I know which I'd rather have.

I prefer firstnamelastname.phot​ography to firstnamelastnamephoto​graphy.com. At least I've got them both now, in addition to firstnamelastname.com (they actually all point to the same place).

For me, it is to ensure that I'm not confused with anyone else. There is one person I'm aware of who has the same name as me and works in the photo industry. I have the .com domains, and now I've got the .photography domain. Having the .coms is obviously the most beneficial, but not having the .photography and only having the photography.com could lead to some mix ups.

It says my name.photography is already taken, but is parked by Go-daddy. I would be interested in it as I have a SUPER common name and would love to be the one with that web address, but I dont think I would be willing to pay for it anyways.

Arrgghh. I should have waited to see if someone came back with a good price. I registered three @ GoDaddy's price, after doing some searching and not finding anything cheaper.
