The Extension
Why .net?
Network operators got .net first, and four decades on it has widened out into something bigger: a serious, established ending that sits well on anything platform- or infrastructure-shaped. Novelty TLDs invite the question of what they mean. This one never does. It has been part of the internet's furniture that long.
When the .com is already taken, this is the standard answer: keep your name, take an established ending, lose nothing in credibility. Registration completes instantly. Anycast nameservers start serving DNS straight away, and WHOIS privacy is bundled in, so the public record lists the domain and not the road you live on.
Good Fit
.net works best for
- Network, hosting-adjacent and infrastructure companies
- SaaS, APIs and developer tooling
- Keeping the same name once somebody else holds the .com
- Projects built to last, on an ending with history
What You Get
Included with every domain
Established since 1985
An original internet TLD. Everyone recognises it, everything supports it, and it isn't going anywhere.
Immediate delegation
Once registration completes the domain resolves, which means you can wire it to hosting without leaving the page.
WHOIS privacy included
As standard, the public WHOIS record carries none of your own personal details.
Common Questions
Questions about .net
Is .net still a respected extension?
Yes. Few TLDs on the internet are older, and for a technical brand it can land more precisely than .com does. Search engines give it the same treatment as any other generic TLD, because ranking follows what you publish and who links to you, never the suffix.
Who can register a .net domain?
Anyone can. Despite the networking heritage, .net carries no residency rule, no industry test and no paperwork requirement. You register and manage it exactly as you would a .com.
How fast does a new .net go live?
At the registry, immediately. In a browser, within minutes. A fresh registration has no cached records sitting anywhere to expire, so resolution starts the second our anycast nameservers pick the name up, and they pick it up when you register.
