.com is a business. .net is generic, .edu is educational institution, .org is a not-for-profit (and requires an authorization code to change its "owning" registrar, as I found out for one of the website clients for whom I design), .gov means a government agency, .us means a government agency of the us federal government, and on, and on, these are all by convention of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). www. is world-wide-web) and most browsers are getting smart enough to do without it, like for phone's sake where folks are getting tired of having to type it in

The .com, .org stuff is extension. Com is supposed to be commercial, org is for organizations, .us is for United States sites, .co.uk is for Britain, etc... The www part of a web address is called the subdomain. Typically www is the default subdomain, but it can be anything, it is up to the web server administrator to set these up.

.com and .net normally mean they are commercial websites. .org normally means a non profit organization. .gov normally means it is a government organization.
No, not all websites begin in www, another common prefix is http or https, which is a secure website, the "s" after http means it is secure. Dont ever put your credit card number, or other personal information into any website that does NOT say https in the address bar.

www. is world wide web. and .com, .net etc are tld extensions. You can type any domain name without www.
try for instance:
http://yahoo.com
http://sitecube.com
http://google.com
You will find each one will come up without www. So thats normal.

www means 'world wide web', but some servers aren't on the web - usually university servers, etc.
.com is a standard website, while .gov is government, .edu is schools, .net is internet services

yeah, youll find that .com are commercial, .edu educational, etc etc etc. the problem is that none of them matter, there's already a www2, anyways you can register any domain you want, you can register : www.thisisacomercialsite.net, although it's a .net, you can perform commercial transactions on it if you wish, no one will stop you, it has really grown out of control.
Cheers

These are the level of domains.
.com is the base American domain
.net is services and such
.org is an organization of ANY type.
.ca .jp .kz .cx and all of those are country domains
(.ca is CANADA not california)
