.com ? This is the most popular TLD. It is used mainly for US commercial organizations. BUT, in its capacity, it represents the highest standing for any domain name. Anyone can have a ?.com?, but it is more difficult to think up a unique name that hasn?t already been registered.
.net ? This is the second most popular TLD. It generally describes the entity owning the domain name as a network and is used mainly by organizations that provide network connection services.
.gov ? Generally used for government agencies.
.int ? Intended to be used for sites relating to International Treaties or containing international databases. For this reason, it is not widely used.
.mil ? Mainly used by military organizations of the US government.
.org ? In general, non-profit organizations tend to use this extension.
.name ? This is a new TLD and is intended to allow individuals to register their names (i.e. firstname.lastname.name) as a personal domain name on the Internet.
.biz ? This is a new TLD for businesses; ?.biz? is intended to be an alternative to the ?.com?.
.info ? This is also new, and is freely available to anyone with a business, government or non-commercial site.
