.Com vs .Net – Difference Between Domain Extensions


Listen Later

Domain extensions shape how your website is perceived. .Com signals “commercial” — products, services, businesses — while .Net represents “network” — internet, email, or networking service providers.


Key distinctions:

.Com: Widely recognized, easier to remember, ideal for general

business, eCommerce, personal sites, blogs. Cost: ~$8-$16/year.

High credibility but tough to find unused domains.


.Net: Suited for tech, network services, internet providers. Cost:

~$10-$15/year. Easier to register but requires more marketing to

compete with .Com sites.


Practical tips:


  • Use .Com for branding and credibility.

  • Use .Net for tech-focused or service-based websites.

  • SEO treats both extensions similarly; focus on strong, keyword-rich domain names.

  • Consider registering both .Com and .Net to protect your brand.



🎯 Choosing the right extension boosts credibility, eases branding, and helps users remember your site.
