net (derived from network) is a generic top-level domain A generic top-level domain is one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet (gTLD) used on the Internet The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by a broad array of electronic and's Domain Name System The Domain Name System is a hierarchical naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participants. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical (binary) identifiers. The net gTLD is currently operated by VeriSign VeriSign, Inc. is an American company based in Mountain View, California that operates a diverse array of network infrastructure, including two of the Internet's thirteen root nameservers, the generic top-level domains for .com and .net, one of the largest SS7 signaling networks in North America, and the RFID directory for EPCGlobal. VeriSign also. Registrations are processed via accredited registrars and internationalized domain names An internationalized domain name is an Internet domain name that contains at least one label that is displayed in software applications, in whole or in part, in a language-specific, non-Latin script or alphabet, such as Chinese, and is internally encoded in Unicode. Internationalized domain names are stored in the Domain Name System as ASCII are also accepted (see details).
net is one of the original top-level domains[1] (the other five being com .com is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) within the Domain Name System of the Internet. It was one of the original top-level domains (TLDs), the others being edu, gov, mil, net, org, and arpa established in January 1985. It has grown to be the largest TLD in use, edu edu is the sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet for educational institutions, primarily those in the United States. Although not officially mandated for much of the domain's existence, in practice it has been used primarily for U.S.-based four-year universities. Starting in 2001, it was officially restricted, gov gov is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is restricted for use by government entities in the United States. The gov domain is administered by the General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency of the United States federal government. The URL for registration services is http://www, mil mil is the sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet for the United States Department of Defense and its subsidiary or affiliated organizations. It was one of the first top-level domains, created in January 1985, and org .org is a generic top-level domain of the Domain Name System (DNS) used in the Internet. org is sometimes pronounced in word form as "org", "dot-org", or "dot-oh-are-gee (O R G)". It is derived from the word organization) despite not being mentioned in RFC 920, having been created in January 1985. It was initially intended to be used only for network providers (such as Internet service providers An Internet service provider , also sometimes referred to as an Internet access provider (IAP), is a company that offers its customers access to the Internet. The ISP connects to its customers using a data transmission technology appropriate for delivering Internet Protocol datagrams, such as dial-up, DSL, cable modem, wireless or dedicated high-). However, there are no formal restrictions on who can register a net domain name. Therefore, while still popular with network operators, it is often treated as a second com. As of 2009, it is the fourth most popular top-level domain, after com, cn .cn is the country code top-level domain for the People's Republic of China, and de .de is the country code top-level domain for the Federal Republic of Germany. DENIC (the Network Information Centre responsible for .de domains) does not require specific second-level domains, as it is the case with the .uk domain range for example.[2]

VeriSign regained the contract bid, and secured its control over the net registry for another six years.

Q. My husband uses Aqua Net for his hair even though I have told him millions of times that I hate it because it's like glue in a bottle, but he continues to use it. So my question is, how can I get the sticky stuff off of the pillowcases? It's like little balls of glue stuck on the fabric and it won't come off. I've already tried soaking in warm water with laundry detergent and all-purpose cleaner...
