.com: diferenças entre revisões

'''.com''' ('''com'''ercial) é um [[domínio de topo genérico]] (gTLD) usado nos [[DNS]]'s da internet. Ele é um dos [[domínios de topo]] (TLDs) originais, estabelecidos em janeiro de 1985, atualmente o [[TLD]] mais usado. O '''.com''' foi originalmente administrado pelo [[Departamento de Defesa dos Estados Unidos da América]]. O DoD (Department of Defense) contracted its maintenance to [[SRI International]], which managed it as DDN-NIC (alternatively known as SRI-NIC or simply "the NIC" <ref>[ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1302.txt]</ref>) at the domain nic.ddn.mil. Beginning [[October 1]], [[1991]] it was contracted to [[Government Systems Inc.]] (GSI), who sub-contracted it to [[Network Solutions]] Inc. (NSI). <ref>[http://mx1.merit.edu/mail.archives/mjts/1991-09/msg00009.html]</ref> On [[January 1]], [[1993]] the [[National Science Foundation]] assumed responsibility for its maintenance, as .com was primarily being used for non-defense interests. The NSF contracted its maintenance to [[Network Solutions]]. In [[1995]] the NSF authorized NSI to begin charging registrants (of [[.org]] and [[.net]] as well as .com) an annual fee, for the first-time since its inception. Initially it was $50 per year, with $35 going to NSI, and $15 going to a government fund. New registrations had to pay for the first two years, making the new-domain registration fee $100. In [[1997]] the [[United States Department of Commerce]] assumed authority over it (along with the rest of the generic top level domains). It is currently operated by [[VeriSign]], which had acquired Network Solutions. (VeriSign later spun off Network Solutions' non-registry functions into the current company which continues as a registrar.) In the [[English language]] it is consistently pronounced as a word, '''dot-com''', and has entered common parlance this way.▼
