Well they are the domain extension, nothing more than that. I guess .com means commercial and .net means network.
i think the different is the price and popularity.
.com is well known worldwide, while .net is growing now.
I think com is very popular and net is not so much. The .com means commercial and .net means network. both work r same.
yeah for the first timers before in the internet. i was really surprised that they are more than one domain than . com only. thought all websites are callled .com. i wonder if the first one is really .com only at first.Quote:

I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING I DON'T THINK!
.com generally used for extension of websites and ,net is not generally used but rarely.
Actually .com and .net is not much different, just to differentiate for commecial website and network based website as most of the members alsready described it. Some country have limitation of applying .com site which you have to specific your real company registration number before applying it. This is to prevent internet fraud.
For me and for SEO also it really does not matter. Your site domain can be anything but the IP address is really matter when we talk about SEO. You can select any domain as you want.. if your contents are good then you will get the same result in both the cases.Quote:

Why ip-address is so important for seo? Please describe it. I think .com domain gets more importance in seo as in maximum cases .com domains has good position than .net domains. Plus .com domains attract users more.Quote:

yes, it really does not matter which domain you are having the only matters is the content of the site and of course the quality.Quote:
