Did you know you may not even own your website? There are a multitude of companies out there that offer free domain registration in exchange for purchasing your web hosting account through them at the same time.

What you don't know is that when you buy your domain name, it is registered in the web hosting company's name and not yours. Then down the road, if you are unhappy with your web hosting company or you otherwise decide to move your business, these companies eventually have to let you have your domain but most will make you pay a transfer of name fee.

The extension .com normally refers to a commercial business site. The .net extension was created to designate online ISPs and other providers. Last, .org was started to refer to organizations.
