Domain names have extensions (called "top-level domains") at the end of the URL. For example ".com", ".net" and ".org" are the most commonly used domain name extensions.[1] The most popular domain extension is .com with more than 100 million domains registered.[2] The .com extension stands for "commercial", .org for organization and .net for network.
There are also country-specific domain name extensions. For example, the United Kingdom has the ".uk" domain extension and Japan has ".jp".
