.net .gov and .com : What is the difference?

[Kalphiter]

Apart from standard site suffixes, there's ones such as 'co.(country abbreviation)' i.e. 'co.nl' for Netherlands. I don't find those commonly, though.

I always thought .com was company/commercial.
You are the first i've ever heard to say it stands for community.

[mrlolop]

I thought .com stands for communication

.net stands for network.
.com stands for community.
and .gov stands for government.


Is it that hard? :/

.com actually means commercial, so a website which earns money by advertising, attracting and selling products.

Google.com will soon make it's move on the government and become Google.gov.

It's funny how they are still teaching us that .org sites are more 'trustable' when anyone can buy a .org.
