Top level domains, like com, net, and org were meant as a way of organizing websites into categories like company, internet provider, and non-profit org. There was no enforcement of that, so the meanings of the TLDs have been lost.
There are two letter country TLDs like .us, .ca, .mx.
There are hundreds of TLDs.

Net is networks. Org is organization. Mil is military Gov is Government. Most of this I think is the level of what you can get into. Such as many Military sites you need a log on and password.

there is also .gov .edu, .ac.uk and those based in other countries eg/ co.uk, co.fr
there is nothing different about the website, but it gives you an idea of what it is
generally .com is a company, .edu is a university/school, .ac.uk is a university/college in the UK, .org is a not for profit, .gov is a government site. .co.uk is a uk company and so on...

.com means commercial.
.net means network (useually your local telephone or cable companys network)
.gov means government
.edu means education
.org means organization (usually non-profit)
.tv menas television
lots more
You can check here for most of them:http://www.networksolutions.com
Some are:
.com .net .org .us
.eu .info .biz .de
.tv .co.uk .name .bz
The one I like because you can purchse most any name you are looking for and it is still available is .ws for website.

.com means - A commercial site.
.net means - A site built for the purpose of building a network of people or business or anything damn thing
.org means - A site for an organization probably an NGO or Govt organization
Then there is .gov for Government and country specific like for us its .us - yadda yadda yadda

.com is a worldwide site, .net is the same, .gov is a u.s. gov approved site, .org is organization/clubs like boy scouts, and .mil is strictly for military personnel to browse only.

"Com" is supposed to be for commercial activities.
"Net" is supposed to be for network oriented entities.
"Org" is supposed to be for organizations.
In practice, however, there's no real difference.
As far as "cool" websites, there's tons. ;)

I'm no expert but this is how i understand them..
.com = usually commercial web sites
.net = non-commercial network site
.org = usually non-profits
There are others like .tv, .biz, .info and then you will see some specific to to countries

I agree with the previous answerers except who said no. I want the two points though.
