Who can own a website?
o What does .com stand
for?
o What about .org?
o How about .net?
o Who can own these
websites?

Answer: Anyone. These along with others are
called “open domains” and anyone can own them for about $10-15 for each
website. You don’t have to be a certain age, you don’t have to own a business,
you just have to be willing to pay.
·
Historical Side Note: When the Internet
started nobody thought it would be what it is today. In fact they thought only
three entities would use the Internet.Commercial Businesses, Organizations, and Networks. Of course we
know today the Internet is much larger than was originally anticipated. Things
got ugly when the Internet starting becoming popular and people starting buying
.com websites that were not businesses, or .org websites that were not
organizations. In the end they all became “open domains” or anyone could own
them.
·
Closed Domains: There are a few
closed domains on the Internet. Domains that you cannot buy unless you are a
specific business or government. The two most well known closed domains are .gov (government) and .edu or .ac (Education or
Academic Institution depending on the country). Nobody can buy these domains.
.gov domains are reserved for governments and .edu and .ac are reserved for
schools. Only governments and schools can have those domains.
·
Country Domains: As the Internet grew
people needed to know where the website was located. For example .gov gives you
the United States Government but if you want the Chinese government you need .gov.cn. By creating country domains the Internet can be searched for information by country.
