I'm just guessing here, but in the beginning you had 4 choices when registering a domain name...

.com = commercial

.net = network

.edu = education

.gov = government

When you couldn't get a .com you would reluctantly settle for a .net, as it still made a bit more sense than .edu or .gov

Nowadays you have lots more options if the .com has been taken, so I don't know the answer either.. I would think .biz or .info would be at least as good as a .net for a second choice.

Let's see if someone knows...
