.com represents the word "commercial," and is the most widely used extension in the world.

Additionally, some businesses choose domain names with a .net extension for their intranet web sites.

.ORG Non-Profit Making Organizations
 

.org represents the word "organization," and is primarily used by non-profits groups or trade associations. However, many commercial entities register the .org extensions corresponding to their .com domain names in order to protect their brands.
