Web Extensions

Do you know what the meaning of each website's extension is? Here is a brief description:

.com represents the word "commercial," and is a widely used extension. Most businesses prefer a .com domain name because it is a highly recognized extension for a commercial presence on the Internet.

.net represents the word "network," and is most commonly used by businesses that are directly involved in the infrastructure of the Internet. Some businesses choose domain names with a .net extension for their intranet Websites.

.org represents the word "organization," and is primarily used by non-profit organizations or trade associations.

.biz is generally used for small business Web sites.

.info is for credible resource Web sites and signifies a "resource" web site. It is a very popular extension beyond .com, .net and .org.

.us is for American Web sites and is the latest extension. It has a large amount of available names in inventory.

.bz was originally designated as the country code for Belize. It is now commonly used by small businesses that can't get the name they want using the .biz extension, and may be registered by anyone, from any country.
