> You have probably noticed that many tv, magazine and
>newspaper advertisements contain web and email addresses.
>Most of these addresses end with ".com". For example:
>
>www.cnn.com
>
> Occasionally, you may see a few web addresses that
>have different endings, like:
>
>www.harvard.edu
>or
>www.internic.net
>
> Right about now you might be asking, "What is the difference
>between these different endings?"
> Here is a brief explanation of some of the most common:

>.com = A commercial business.
>.edu = A 4-year degree granting university/college.
>.org = A non-profit organization.
>.net = Network related organizations.
>.gov = United States government agencies.

> In addition to the above, countries usually have their own
>endings (called Top Level Domains).
>
