Connect your site and your customers and discover the possibilities
.NET dates to the dawn of the Internet age, one of four original Top-Level Domains (TLDs) introduced in 1985. In fact, the first domain ever created was a .NET name: nordu.net, created by the .NET registry on January 1, 1985.
The .NET name refers to "Network" and was initially intended for use by organizations involved in networking activities, namely, Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Today however, the name has earned its place as an alternative to other top-level domains and ranks as one of the most popular name suffixes. As of July 2011, there are over 14 million .NET domains registered worldwide.
.NET provides many advantages as a domain ending: a strong history as a founding TLD, high trust ratings according to surveys from Verisign, and quality SEO ranking. Plus our low-price of just $9.90 per year makes this a sound and affordable investment.
Why register a .NET?
- The .NET extension is associated with technology and is therefore perfect for tech startups searching for a name. Organizations creating an online business, developing apps or a wide range of other online endeavors can leverage a .NET domain to promote their work.
- .NET doesn't have to just mean tech networks-it can mean social networking as well, ideal for many social networks that are working to building connections between users.
- .NET names are an excellent choice for companies working in the networking and communication industries. (Verizon and AT&T house their email services on .net domains.)
