The .net domains are one of the first-ever top-level domains released. Currently, a .net domain is considered the best alternative to the “.com” domain. Originally, the .net domain was used for network sites, but as time has passed, the domain has evolved to cater to any type of business and website.
A .net domain name is a great domain to boost your brand reputation. These domains are incredibly flexible, so you can use them for anything - from a professional online portfolio to a business website. Most web users are familiar with these domains, which allows customers to easily trust your website. On top of all that, domain availability shouldn’t be a problem as the .net market’s competition levels are nowhere near that of the .com domains.
Find answers to frequently asked questions about .net domains.
The .net domain is one of the first-ever top-level domains, or TLDs. These domains were originally introduced to align with other domain extensions like .org, .com, and .edu. This is a generic TLD that doesn’t have any industry or country associations, allowing you to use it for any type of website out there. While originally created for network sites, the domain has since evolved into something completely different.
The “net” in .net stands for network. While the domain was originally used for businesses involved in networking technologies, offering web related services, it’s currently used by many others sites. In the beginning, these domains were primarily used by internet service providers and other similar businesses, but now, it caters all types of companies.
.net today is seen as the go-to alternative for the .com domain. Since the .com name is one of the most popular domain options available, it can be hard to register a website with a “.com” TLD. So, if “.com” isn’t available with your perfect domain, you can try .net domain registration instead.
Anyone can register a .net website. Whether you’re in the US or other countries, the .net TLD is designed for all companies. So, if you want to purchase one for yourself, head to our domain checker and see if your desired domain name is available.
Once you find the right domain with our .net search tool, you can add it to your cart and proceed to checkout. After paying for the domain, you need to enter additional details to verify ownership. Once that’s done, you can connect the domain to your site.
If you need help during the registration process, our customer support team is always available to assist you.
Different registrars have different prices for these domains. On Hostinger, we offer .net registration for £10.99 for the first year. And if you wish to renew the ownership, the fee increases to £10.99/year.
However, we offer ways for you to register your domain for free with our Premium shared hosting, Business Shared Hosting, WordPress Hosting, or Cloud Hosting Plans. If you sign up for these plans, you get free SSL certificates along with a free domain.
We are one of the most trusted registrars worldwide, taking pride in our ICANN accreditation. We also offer tools and services to help manage your domains in your account, such as domain privacy protection, an intuitive DNS zone editor, and 24/7 customer support via live chat.
Generally, .net and .com are on the same tier when referring to TLDs. These are two of the most popular option for any type of business and website.
However, many website owners prefer using the .com extension as this is the most familiar for web surfers. With that said, the .com market is very intense and it can be hard to register a site with this TLD. So, if the .com TLD isn’t available for your site, .net is the next best alternative.
For some websites, it may be beneficial to register both TLDs for your website. We offer this service to make sure other brands can’t claim the .net or .com versions of your website while also ensuring customers land on your site even if they type the wrong URL.
Yes, .net is not designed for specific organisations or services. So, any type of online business can use .net in their domain name.
You can also use .net for an online portfolio or resume. Since .net is a popular and trusted domain, it’s a great way to show potential employers that you’re a professional.
