syntackle.live is now syntackle.com

Recently, I moved my blog syntackle to a new domain from syntackle.live. I feel that .com as a domain is a better choice. What are your thoughts on this? Is it a good decision?

I think it's a good call.

Sometimes the non-.com is more appealing but here I think it's much better since the blog isn't "about" the concept of "live" so much.

thanks for your insight and appreciation, yeah SEO may take a hit if you don't redirect all of the old URLs to the new domain. In my case I am doing a 301 permanent redirect.

Sounds like a good idea to me, but I tried to look at it using my work computer and Cisco AnyConnect (the VPN client) said it was a security threat 😱 I'm sure it's not, lol, but I wonder why this happened!
