Looking to set up a simple website for the business.

But there are now a whole load of diff suffixes.

So much to choose from on the hosting front too!!

Any advice much appreciated.

I would buy the most common ones that people might mistake or might buy to scrape business off you. Get the .com and .co.uk's at the very least. Nothing worse that putting the wrong one in for a business and getting to one of these placeholder pay per click pages. Very unprofessional. Also if you register both and the company will be of use in the US putting slightly different pages up at both with a cross link between looks pro and google will likey.

Domain purchase is so cheap you can put a redirect on your console I would consider a few more of the emerging ones just in case. Really depends on the name though. If you are buying www.scragmeisterswidgets.com then probably not worth buying the others to protect them.
