  • Did you ever wonder what those funny endings are in Internet addresses-like "dot com"? They're part of the domain. The domain is the name of a network or computer that is linked to the Internet.

    You can find the domain in an email address after an @ sign. The email address for the First Lady, for example, is first.lady@whitehouse.gov. You can see that "whitehouse.gov" is the domain.

    The ending of a domain tells you what type it is:

    .com = commercial
    .gov = government
    .org = organization
    .edu = educational institution

    Many countries have an official extension or country code that appears at the end of a URL (website address) or email address. The extension identifies where the host website or network is located. For example, the web address for the Nobel e-Museum is http://www.nobel.se . The extension ".se" indicates that the information on the Nobel site originates in Sweden. These are some other examples

    .fr = France
    .in = India
    .it = Italy
    .jp = Japan
    .pe = Peru
    .zr = Zaire
