One thing we encourage here at NameHero.com is that you register multiple TLDs for your brand. This way, you are provided protection and keep possible competitors from creating websites off your name.
For example, say you own example.com. You would then want to register example.net, example.org, example.biz and example.co at the very least! Once registered, you can then redirect your additional TLDs back to example.com.
