What is the second best domain name suffix if the .com domain name I want is taken? -

I live in Canada and the name is going to be for commercial purposes. My preference is .com since it is the most globally recognized suffix. But all the .com names I like are all taken.1) What is the second most popular domain name suffix globally ?2) I could try and get .ca (Ca for Canada). Should I try to find another suitable .com name or should I get the .ca?

The most popular extensions globally are1 .com2 .cn (China)3 .de (Germany)4 .net5 .orgWhile .ca is quite a way down the list it is a very popular extension for Canadian sites.If your site s target market is Canadian then .ca is probably the best extension for your site. If you will be marketing world wide then you should be looking for a short meaningful .com but you should also get the same name with the .ca and point both names to the site.
