About .NET

Country flagLogo for .net Domain

Introduced in 1985, .net is one of the original legacy domains. Being one of the longest standing domain names on the internet, .net is widely utilized and recognized by users all over the world.

.net was initially created to stand for network technologies. But today anyone can register a .net domain, whether that’s for business or personal use. This tried-and-true TLD can be used as a primary website address, or as part of a larger domain portfolio. Additionally, .net may have more availability for your desired domain name when compared to more populated extensions such as .com. However, if your domain name is already taken we may be able to help you acquire it.
