Why to buy multiple domain extensions like .com and .net?
I was talking to a Domain Expert who was helping me to find a perfect domain name for my business and he suggested that I should buy .com and matching .net domain and alo register a matching ccTLD (I live in India) so that competitors are prevented from registerring my business name and redirecting traffic and sales to their sites or store. So according to his recommendation I registered .com, .net and a .in domain (local indian cctld) too at The Online domain registar here.
What are the other benefits of purchasing multiple domain names for businesses and enterprises?

Hi JITO, there are advantages for registerring multiple or similar domains in different domain extentions like .com, .net, .site, .in, etc. The crucial reason is to prevent competitors from using a domain name that’s similar to yours to trick shoppers into buying from them rather than you. Many serious brands, companies and non-profit organisations use multiple and similar domains and either setup them for advertising or redirect to their main official domain.
Also, domains can be use to advertise individual product lines on separate websites. Attract more site visitors by directing keyword domains you own to your main website.

There are lots of reasons to own more than one domain name. Businesses often buy misspellings of their names, for example, to capture those Web searchers who aren’t good spellers (or typists). Domainers register hundreds or even thousands of domains with the end goal of selling at least some of them at a profit. For them, the bulk domain search tool is a must.
