.net
generic
.net is a generic top-level domain originally intended for network service providers and organizations. It is operated by VeriSign Global Registry Services, based in Reston, Virginia. There are no specific eligibility restrictions for registering a .net domain; anyone can register through an ICANN accredited registrar. The domain was one of the first seven gTLDs created in 1985, making it one of the oldest on the internet. Over time, it has become one of the most widely used TLDs globally, alongside .com and .org.
