Domain names have extensions at the end of the URL. For example ".com", ".net" and ".org" are the most commonly used domain name extensions.[1] The most popular domain extension is .com with more than 100 million domains registered.[2]

.com domain stands for "commercial", .org for organization and .net for network.


Domains can be a good way to create a business identity.[3] For example "" indicates that it provides personal space for users.[4]
