.com vs .net

.com is a generic top‑level domain (gTLD) most commonly associated with general and business sites, and its lowest registration price is about $11.08 per year. .net is also a gTLD but is traditionally linked to technology and networking services, with a minimum registration cost of roughly $12.52 per year. For most commercial or brand‑focused projects, .com offers broader consumer recognition, while .net may be preferable for tech‑oriented ventures or when a .com variant is unavailable. The main trade‑off is the slightly higher price and the narrower perception of .net compared with the more universally familiar .com.
