1. dot com

   The domain name .com is a top-level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet. Added at the beginning of 1985, its name is derived from the word commercial, indicating its original intended purpose for domains registered by commercial organizations. Later, the domain opened for general purposes. The domain was originally administered by the United States Department of Defense, but is today operated by Verisign, and remains under ultimate jurisdiction of U.S. law. Verisign registrations in the .com domain are processed via registrars accredited by ICANN. The registry accepts internationalized domain names. The domain was one of the original top-level domains (TLDs) on the Internet when the Domain Name System was implemented in January 1985, the others being edu, gov, mil, net, org, and int. It has grown into the largest top-level domain, and has lent its name to an era in the late 1990s, the dot-com bubble, during which excessive speculation in Internet-related companies in a period of rapid growth in the use and adoption of the Internet led to a stock market bubble and crash.

Examples of dot com in a Sentence

1. Grant McGurn:

   He knew I had all my money in there and he was just like,' I've seen this before with the dot-com bubble crash, and I don't want to see you lose thousands of dollars,'.

2. Sandeep Aggarwal:

   So here you have the end of the millennium, there’s anticipation. There’s a weird desire to categorize what we’ve accomplished in the last 2000 years, in a very western-centric, America-centric way, you’re in the middle of a dot-com boom, technology is advancing quickly, but along with that there is a sense of unease.

5. Stephanie Ricker Schulte:

   After 2000, after the so-called bubble burst, 'dot-com' came to represent American hubris and greed, especially outside the U.S., my favorite example of this is an article published in Germany that described Internet executives washing their car with champagne.
