.net domains
A .net domain for services and technology
What .net is for
The idea behind .net
.net was created in 1985 together with .com and .org, first meant for companies building networks (short for network). Today anyone can register one. Internet providers, IT firms and online services pick it often, and so does anyone who finds the .com they wanted already taken.
IT firms and internet providers
A .net name sounds technical and reliable for hosting, networks, computer repair and IT support.
Online services
Booking platforms, portals and online tools that serve people every day.
When the .com is taken
Keep exactly the name you want, with an extension just as old and well known, without adding words or abbreviations.

.net domains: frequently asked questions
Technically they work the same and your site loads just as fast. The difference is habit: people type .com without thinking, so with .net it pays to write the full address on your business card and social profiles.
