Hi, you are asking about the difference between domain name suffixes. The difference between .com, .org and .net is what they stand for and who created them. .com is created by a profitable company or organization. .org is created by a nonprofit organization and .net is created by a network. I hope that this answers your question. Good Luck!

There's no real difference anymore. When these suffixes were first created, they were semi-strictly regulated: ".com" was for commercial use, ".org" for organizations (generally non-profit), ".net" is one of the new wave, and was originally for internet service providers, mostly.
Other early suffixes were ".gov," for government, ".mil" for military, and ".edu" for educational institutions.
There are many more now, of course, but they are less meaningful.
".us" is for other US governmental bodies, like state governments. All other countries have similar two-letter designations. ."ca" is Canada, ".uk" is the United Kingdom, etc.

.org means organization. And i think net stands for network. .Com go to any type of buisness.

There isn't really any difference it is suppose to just show you what kind of organization are you
.com = commercial
.org= organization (profit/non profit)
.net =network
.edu =education
.gov = government
