Regarding TM registration of a second-level domain name, isn't there some question whether the PTO will accept the use as qualifying? I know that there were some problems with it at one time, if the name wasn't the same as the non-Internet trade name or if all you were trying to register was the same name plus ".com." The contention was that the domain name was an address for communications, not an identifier of the source of goods or services. Maybe others have had more recent, favorable experiences.
