I believe .com is usually a site supported by some type of advertisement, .org refers to an organization, and I am unsure of .net. I do know that the necessity for the differences came about because so many new websites are created daily.

Originally .com was for commercial sites, .org was for organizations and .net was for network providers. The distinction is pretty much gone nowdays as there is no enforcement of the domain extensions.

The ICANN, or The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers controls the use of the various TLDs or Top Level Domains. This includes your .com, .org, .net, etc.
Here's the explanation from their site:
* The .biz domain, operated by NeuLevel, Inc., is restricted to businesses.
* The .com domain, operated by VeriSign Global Registry Services, is a generic top-level domain originally intended for commercial businesses around the world.
* The .info domain, operated by Afilias Limited, is an unrestricted domain for websites containing information about you, your organization, your products or any other information you'd like to make available to a global audience.
* The .name domain, operated by Global Name Registry, is reserved for individuals.
* The .net domain, operated by VeriSign Global Registry Services, is a generic top-level domain used by many types of organizations and individuals globally; it was historically intended for and is still commonly used by Internet service providers.
* The .org domain, operated by Public Interest Registry, is unrestricted, but was intended to serve the noncommercial community.
* The .pro domain, operated by RegistryPro, is restricted to certified professionals and related entities.
