That part of a URL is called a "Top Level Domain", and describes the type of entity/owner who owns that site name, as well as defines the purpose of that site.
Very generally speaking....
".com" sites are operated by commercial/business entities.
".org" websites are run by organizations, usually non-profit.
".net" sites are usually hosted by network providers, like website hosts, for instance.
