.com vs .net From Tyler on 26 August '00 Can anyone tell me what the major difference is between having a website with a .com extention rather then .net or .org. As I understand it, .com stands for commercial business, and org stands for organization - usually government related. What does .net stand for and would registering a name with this type of extention place you at any great disadvantage over someone who owns the same name but with a .com ext? Do the SE's treat sites differently by the extensions? Thanks in advance, Tyler
