I think your ability to choose your own domain name is limited by several conventions and laws. Check with your IPS for more info.
The following list shows all current domains:
.aero - for the air transport industry
.biz - for business use
.cat - for Catalan language/culture
.com - for commercial organizations, but unrestricted
.coop - for cooperatives
.edu - for post-secondary educational establishments
.gov - for governments and their agencies in the United States
.info - for informational sites, but unrestricted
.int - for international organizations established by treaty
.jobs - for employment-related sites
.mil - for the US military
.mobi - for sites catering to mobile devices
.museum - for museums
.name - for families and individuals
.net - originally for network infrastructures, now unrestricted
.org - originally for organizations not clearly falling within the other gTLDs, now unrestricted
.pro - for certain professions
.travel - for travel agents, airlines, hoteliers, tourism bureaus, etc.

.net and .biz are less popular, people may go to the wrong site. Just change what you want it to be a tiny bit and still make it a .com. (Just my opinion.)

the ending of a website name is becoming as useless as the www. bit
most web browsers will now "fill in" the rest of it
try just typing "yahoo" into your browser and you will probably get www.yahoo.com
so get whatever you want on the end
