.net extension
.net is a generic extension run by Verisign, like .com, and in the DNS root since 1985. Historically linked to networks and internet services, it is now a popular alternative when the .com is taken.

A .net name uses the letters A to Z, digits and hyphens. Hyphens in the 3rd and 4th positions are only allowed for a valid internationalised name (“xn--” prefix), and all two-character names are initially reserved. Internationalised names are offered in many languages.
Question
As with .com, Verisign does not collect .net registrant details: its WHOIS and RDAP show the registrar, dates and name servers. Registrant data is held by the registrar.
Question
A .net transfer follows ICANN’s Transfer Policy: the authorisation code (AuthInfo) is required, and a transfer may be refused within 60 days of creation or of a previous transfer. Under the .net registry agreement, a transfer between registrars adds one year to the term, up to 10 years.
.net suits technical services, online tools, hosting companies and network-related projects. It is also a good second extension to protect a brand already registered as a .com or a national domain.
Online tools, APIs, infrastructure: .net keeps a technical image.
Name taken in .com? .net stays generic and international.
Register the .net to avoid confusion with your .com.
