.com
The world's most valuable and recognized TLD — the gold standard for domain investing and commercial websites.
.com (commercial) is the original and most widely used generic TLD, managed by Verisign. Introduced in 1985, it has over 160 million registered domains. .com is the default TLD in most users' minds — studies show that people instinctively add ".com" when typing URLs. In the domain investing world, .com commands a significant premium over all other TLDs and is the undisputed standard for serious commercial websites.
