Thread 106473028

Hey anons, quick question
what are the differences between .com, . net, and, .org

i dunno

>>106473127
great help!

>>106473170
any time

>>106473028 (OP)
If you look closely you can spot the letters aren't the same.

>>106473268
didn't notice that!

>>106473028 (OP)
why don't you just ask the chatgpt, zoomie?

>>106473028 (OP)
Domain names were meant to label specific websites (.net for network providers, .org for organizations and .com for commercial sites)

.'-'

>>106473362
Is 4chan a organization?

>>106473028 (OP)
some of them hold more authority than others in regards to search engine ranking results

>>106473499
oh also a difference in public perspective.
for example the website soma.fm redirects to their .com version because thats a better looking brand

>>106473472
it doesn't have to be, anyone can register a .org domain. You're obviously new here, next time check the catalogue for the stupid questions thread instead of creating an entirely new thread for your stupid questions. Thanks >>106439810

>>106473472
Doesn't need to be, .com, .net and .org have been public TLDs for a while now

>>106473519
But you Anonymous said that .org is for organizations and .com for commercial.
If 4chan.org uses .org is it not a organization?

>>106473565
no one tell him about .su

>>106473472
i first surfed this shithole when it ran under a .net domain, newfremd

>>106473028 (OP)
>.com
real website
>.net
fake website
>.org
realer website

>>106473028 (OP)
Domains pretty much mean nothing unless it's .gov or .edu, in america atleast. Anyone can register .com, .org, .net

>>106473616
why would .net be a fake website?

>>106473620
and a lot of the country domains are basically up to the discretion of the country how they handle the registration.
>do they actually live here
>whats their address
>whats their gov id
while some countries are like "yes yes pay us please thank you here here"

>>106473633
This, the country of Tuvalu makes a ton of money from selling their country code .tv

>>106473028 (OP)
.com is for commercial websites. The web was designed to sell you shit and to show you ads so this is the majority of all websites.
.net is for networking websites. This doesn't mean anything and .net is historically for people who couldn't get a .com because some 90s startup took it.
.org is for organization websites. This is for professionals who have their shit together or aspiring organizers who are getting it together. Of all the generic tlds .org attracts the highest quality clientele because nobody ever randomly goes to a .org site.

Modern day? Nothing. Previously they had meaning. Like getting a .org actually required some proof you were an organization and shit. Now they just hand them out.

ICANN is basically a joke, they sold to the highest bidder. There's very few TLDs actually protected anymore.

>>106473791
like which?

>>106473809
Basically any sTLD is still pretty well locked down

.-.

>>106473628
dunno

is .net trash?

>>106473948
everything except .com is trash besides the unfeasible ones (.edu .gov)
the higher tier country codes are on the second level
.co.uk .ca .au
because of authority, but its easy to register a .ca domain. if you were starting a global company always .com
if your company is specific to australia specifically, then the .au

.xyz alltheway

>>106473028 (OP)
I might want to build a website one day. Don't domain extensions have different costs associated with them or was that just in the past or am I misremembering?

>>106474390
It's up to the registry and yes some ccTLDs charge out the ass because they know their TLD is popular (see: .io)

hat if i wanna do something simple like a forum
which one would be better
