About .COM zone

The .COM domain extension is by far the most recognizable and the most popular of all domain names. Once the domain name servers (DNS) were established in 1984, top-level domain names were finally defined in 1985, with .COM leading at №1. Following closely behind were .NET, .ORG, .INT, .GOV, and .MIL. The first registered website to use the .COM extension is symbolics.com — still up and running today!

.COM stands for «commercial», and was intended for commercial entities (organizations that make a profit). Now, it is popular for any type of website, commercial or not. There are currently over one hundred million (100,000,000) occupied domain names, the majority of which are registered with .COM.

With a little imagination and thought, however, we trust that you can find yourself a unique domain name with a .COM extension, for any future project that you may have in mind.
