What do all the endings mean? (.com, .net, .org) Print

  • 0

The last part of a domain — like .com or .net — is called the extension (the techy word is TLD, short for “top-level domain”). It is a bit like choosing which neighbourhood your address is in.

Some popular ones

  • .com – the most popular, good for almost anything.
  • .net and .org – classic, trusted choices.
  • .io and .co – popular with start-ups and tech.
  • Fun ones like .shop, .blog or .app tell people what you do.

💡 Handy tip

Different endings can cost different amounts, and some have their own rules. .com is the safest all-rounder if you are not sure.
