In general, businesses (in the US at least) should use the .com extension. Non-profit or political organizations usually use the .org extentions. Not surprisingly, the .gov, .mil, and .edu extensions are restricted. If you really want a particular website name (e.g. reallycool.com) and the .com or .org versions are already taken then you might be able to register reallycool.info, reallycool.net, reallycool.us, or reallycool.biz. Or maybe you will have to settle for sortacool.com.
