Detailed explanation-1: -“.com” is short for “commercial.” A site doesn’t necessarily have to have a commercial purpose to use it (though most commercial sites do use this domain). Instead, “.com” is a bit of a catch-all, since this domain name is available to anyone. This differs from more restrictive domain names like “. edu” and “. mil.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Originally created to represent the “commercial” intent of a website, .com has since been at the epicenter of the digital revolution that has reshaped the way people work, live, play and connect with family and friends.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “.com” part is called the top level domain (TLD). The following are some popular TLDs that you might find on the Internet: .com: commercial. . org: non-profit organization.
