Domain Name Trivia - net Extension

The net domain name extension has been with us just about forever. Well, in terms of the globe Wide Web's existence it's been anyway.

Actually, internet domains precede the globe Wide net. The extension was established in 1985 and it wasn't till 1991 when Tim Berners- Lee announced the debut of the online as a publicly accessible service on the net.


Net is one among the first high level domains (TLDs); together with com, edu, gov, mil, and org.

While the primary domain name to be registered was one ending in com, the primary to be created was a internet name in January 1985 - Nordu.net; that was used to be the identifier of the primary root server, nic.nordu.net.

Nordu.net may be a knowledge communications internetwork interconnecting the national analysis and education networks of the 5 Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden; and remains in operation nowadays.

The original intention for internet was use by network suppliers solely, however of late registration of a internet domain name has no restrictions - anyone anywhere within the world will register a internet name as simply as registering a com.

According to the registry operator, Verisign, that assumed oversight of the extension once acquiring Network Solutions in 2005, internet is usually employed in backbone operations of the net and is directly or indirectly concerned with a minimum of thirty % of all web activity.

After com and de (the country code high Level Domain - ccTLD - for Germany), internet is that the hottest TLD within the world.

These days, a internet name is in style with technology firms, or as an alternate to com if that version has already been registered.


However, registering a.net in those circumstances will generally be counterproductive. With.com having such high levels of awareness, type-in traffic may be lost to the com domain.

When it involves domain name resale, a internet name can typically fetch way but its com counterpart; thus internet names are typically avoided by those within the domain resale market, unless they're single generic word names or common terms as those will still command terribly engaging costs.
