.com domain names are currently the most used extension, with more than 145 million registered domains (source: Verisign: The Verisign Domain Name Industry Brief)
Originally launched in 1985 by the United States Department of Defense, they are currently managed by a private company: Verisign Inc. who also manages the .net, .cc, .tv and .name extensions. Since 2008 INWX is one of the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) Accredited Registrars, which allows us to offer real-time management without intermediaries for .com domains and many other extensions.
.com domains were initially launched for commercial websites, but over the years they became a domain considered generic, under a .com domain we will find all kinds of websites, this is mainly because they have no restrictions for their use.
