What TLDs to use if you cannot snatch a .com ?

Which ones are professional and generally well perceived?

I wanted my last name.com but that was parked by someone asking for “upwards of 6 figures” so I got it .org and use it as my email on my resume.

But depends on what you’re doing with it. Com, net, org are generally all the most recognized and most well perceived. But if you’re looking to run a business, I’d say it depends on the business. A lot of modern and smaller tech companies are going for relevance rather than recognition, but if you put “burgershopname.food” on a billboard, it won’t be clear that it’s the website. On the flip side, if your target market is online ads, it’d be easier to link users via a clickable link or focus on SEO to get your link to come up that the domain name won’t even matter.
