.COM One of the very first Top-Level Domains, has since become the largest TLD Although .com domains are officially intended to designate commercial entities, there has been no restriction on who can register .com domains since the mid -1990s. The opening of the .com registry to the public coincided with the commercialization and popularization of the Internet, and .com quickly became the most common top-level domain for websites. Many companies which flourished in the period between 1997-2001 (the time known as the "dot-com bubble") went so far as to incorporate .com into the company name, these became known as dot-coms or dot-com companies.

NET One of the Internet’s seven original Top Level Domain is the second-largest TLD in use today. It was initially intended for use by network oriented entities such as Internet service providers. Currently, there are no formal restrictions on who can register a .net domain name. Therefore, while still popular with network operators, it is often treated as a second .com.

.ORG is the third-largest TLD in use today. This Top Level Domain means "noncommercial" or "nonprofit" to the vast majority of Internet. .Org was one of the original top-level domains, originally intended for use by organizations that did not meet the requirements for other gTLDs. Now anyone can register a .org domain. .org was the domain commonly recommended for use by individuals, although .name and .info are now alternatives.

INFO means information to speakers of many different languages around the world. info is a generic top level domain intended for informative websites, although its use is not restricted. It was a part of ICANN's highly publicized announcement, in late 2000, of a phased release of seven new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). The event was billed as the first addition of major gTLDs to the Internet since the DNS was developed in the 1980s. (1-10 Years Unrestricted)

(2006) .MOBI (also known as DotMobi) is a sponsored top-level domain approved by ICANN and managed by the mTLD global registry dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices via the Mobile Web.

(2005) .JOBS is a sponsored top-level domain as part of the second group of new TLD ‘s. The intended use is for companies and organizations to register some version of their corporate names in the .jobs domain and use it for a site specifically aimed at those seeking employment with that company, as distinguished from general corporate and marketing sites in other top level domains such as .com. Also .jobs is a restricted domain, meaning applicants will be subject to a verification process to confirm they qualify for a .jobs domain name meaning no cyber-squatting. (1-10 Years - Restricted)
