Domain name extensions are a way to differentiate one’s website from others. Some of the most popular domain name extensions are .com, .net, and .org.
A domain name is a unique identifier for a web page on the internet. The extension tells the browser what kind of content is available on the site. For example, if you type in google.com into your browser, you will be taken to Google’s homepage because that’s what they have registered as their domain name extension (.com). If you type in google.net into your browser, you will be taken to Google’s search engine because that is what they have registered as their domain name extension (.net).
