Here are some of the more common types of domain name - listed with some advantages and disadvantages.
.com: these domains are usually the most valuable in an international setting. If you have an international trademark, a .com domain is a must. A disadvantages of .com domains is that because they are so widespread and popular, many of the nicest sounding domain names have already been registered.
.net: these domains were originally designed to be used by Internet companies. However, these conventions have been widely ignored for many years, and in most cases, someone will register a .net domain if the .com alternative has already been taken, or sometimes they'll register to stop someone else from running a similarly named website.
.info: This domain was intended for information sites, rather than sites which sell or have other commercial purposes. This domain is unusual because they are four letters after the final dot, whereas nearly all other domain names have either two or three letters.
