What Does “Dot Com” Mean?

Dot Com or dotcom comes from the “.com” used at the end of the URL for a website. The “com” in “.com” is actually short for “commercial” since the first .com users were businesses. For non-commercial websites, domain names could end in other symbols, such as “.org” or “.info” or “.net”.
