Domain Register: What is the difference - .com, .org, .net, .biz & .info & all the others?

What is the difference - .com, .org, .net, .biz & .info & all the others?

World Wide Generic Domains: InterNIC definitions
Originally, it was suggested that .COM be used primarily for commercial businesses, .NET for network related organizations and .ORG for nonprofit groups. This quickly became unworkable and consequently, in the case of .COM, .NET and .ORG, a decision was made to rely on registrants to choose the TLD (Top Level Domain) they wish. In fact, many registrants (domain owners) order their domain name as .COM, .NET and .ORG.

.COM, .NET and .ORG are unrestricted open domains.

WHAT ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR .EDU?

Formerly, the .EDU domain was reserved for 4-year, degree-granting colleges and universities.

Now, Eligibility for a .EDU domain name is limited to regionally-accredited, degree-granting institutions of higher education that are accredited by one of the six U.S. regional accrediting agencies. Each such institution may hold only a single name in the .EDU domain.

This change means that community colleges, are now eligible for .EDU names.
