.com is an abbreviation for “commercial.” It is one of many top-level domains (TLDs) that can be used at the end of a website’s address. Other examples of top-level domains include .gov for government websites, .edu for educational institutions, and .org for organizations. The .com TLD is the most widely used and is generally intended for commercial use, but it is not limited to that purpose. Any individual or organization can register a .com domain name as long as it is not already in use.
