Can I get a domain name other than something.com?
SUMMARY
Yes.
DETAILED SOLUTION
There a a large number of top level domains available besides ".com".
Many of these top level domains are specific to countries (i.e ".com.uk"
or ".ca") ".net", ".org", ".edu" are also available, but you must
meet the requirements of the registrar to be able to register a domain
with a different top level extension. Most registrars for top level
country domains require that your business be located in that country.
The following summarizes the requirement for ".net", etc.:
.edu The top level domain is reserved for 4-year, degree-granting colleges
and universities.
.net The top level domain designated for entities and computers that
represent part of the Internet's infrastructure. Originally
intended for use by Network Information Centers (NICs), Network
Operations Centers (NOCs), administrative computers
(such as a name server) and network node computers.
.org The top level domain designated for miscellaneous entities that do
not fit under any of the other top level domains. Typically used for
non-profit organizations.
