Companies or individuals seeking to participate in dot-com Refers to the period (dot) followed by the abbreviation of the commercial domain (.com) at the end of an Internet e-mail or Web address. Since the .com domain is so widely used, the Internet has become known as the "dot-com" world, and dot-com companies are those that were formed to offer services or products on the Web. Since .com addresses are the most popular, Web browsers default to adding the .com to the end of the URL if no other domain, such as .org or .edu, is typed in. opportunities will be introduced to some of the newest concepts in the market providing the opportunity for investment, employment, partnering or purchase.
