Why is it that .com is such a widely used suffix to websites, what does it stand for and why does it matter what the suffixes are when the DNS server converts the websites to their respective IP addresses anyways?
In: Technology
The suffixes also matter for reputation even if indeed technically it doesn’t matter whether a domain is website.com, website.info, website.biz
.com has a better “reputation” for SEO purposes, it is seen as more trustworthy by search engines like Google etc….so that .com domains usually rank better in the search engines. (There are many more factors, like domain age, how often it changed owners, this and that, but you get the idea).
So if someone wants to make a new website, it is simply better and looks more professional to use .COM rather than have a site like politics-news.info or something which looks already spammy.
