A .net domain for services and technology

## 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.

## .net domains: frequently asked questions

### Is .net as good as .com?

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.

### Can I buy both the .com and the .net for one name?

Yes. Many businesses take both so nobody else can use their name. Connect one to your website and keep the other reserved in your name.

### Who can register a .net domain?

Anyone, person or business, from any country. You need no special documents: the domain is registered in your name, with the owner details you fill in at checkout.

### Can I use my .net domain with a website built here?

Yes. Create your website for free, turn on Premium and choose Connect to a site under Domains. We add the DNS records and the SSL certificate, so your .net address opens over HTTPS within minutes.
