.net domains: a global TLD for networks and beyond
.net was one of the original six top-level domains created in 1985, alongside .com, .org, .edu, .gov and .mil. Originally intended for network infrastructure operators — internet service providers, backbone networks and telecoms — .net has since become a popular general-purpose TLD and is widely used as an alternative when a desired .com name is taken. Verisign operates the .net registry under ICANN contract, using the same RDAP infrastructure as .com.
WHOIS records for .net domains follow exactly the same RDAP structure as .com, since both are managed by Verisign's rdap.verisign.com server. A .net lookup returns registrar details, creation/expiry dates, nameservers and DNSSEC status. The same GDPR contact redaction rules apply — personal details are typically hidden, while registrar contact information is always shown.
