Just A Test - GoDaddy Back To .Com From .Co

Its been well-known that .com's are becoming obsolete and thus, GoDaddy.com recently made .co their default

That however, turns out was only a test and thus GoDaddy.com has made .com default again

We noted that popular domain name registrar GoDaddy made .CO the default top-level domain for newly registered domain names. Now GoDaddy has returned the default to .COM — the initial switch was apparently just a test. But that doesn’t mean the trend is any different.

Regardless of whether it was permanent or temporary, GoDaddy’s switch was a signal that the American and international web is moving away from the now-crowded .COM standard. We’re anxious to see what GoDaddy learned in its test, but if you look at the registrar’s Twitter conversations, you’ll see that quite a few people jumped on the bandwagon and embraced .CO domain names with their new registrations.

The move away from .COM is inevitable, because there simply aren’t that many .COM domains left. You’d be hard-pressed to find your first choice without going for something else; it’s just a question of which extension will be the most popular successor. Right now .CO is a promising contender.

.CO is actually held by the Republic of Colombia, but just like the island nation Tuvalu (which holds the .tv domain), residents and officials in the country believe that their domain can be lucrative. According to a BBC report, one quarter of the .CO registry’s revenue goes to the Colombian government.

So what do you think? Do you think .com's can be replaced by .co's eventually? Do let us know
