A domain extension is the suffix at the end of a web address, such as .com or .net. For example, in the domain name www.learn2yoga.com, .com is the extension.

When you choose your domain name, you can select from the extensions .com, .net., .org, .biz, and .info (if you're doing business in the United States, you can also use .us).

• The .net extension was originally designed for Internet companies, but is almost as popular as .com.
• Many nonprofits and community groups use .org, which was created for noncommercial sites.
• If you're a business, try .biz, which can help you find a more targeted audience.
• Are you providing information on your site? Consider .info!

If you're having trouble finding the right web address, consider using a different extension. You'll get more choices, plus some extensions can reflect your type of business or service.
