.com domain search
The default extension of the web
.com is the oldest and most widely recognised generic top-level domain. Because almost every short, common word is already registered, the fastest way to find a free .com is to search variations and compound names rather than single dictionary words.

.com questions, answered
Why are most short .com domains taken?
.com has been open to everyone since 1985, so short and dictionary-word names were claimed long ago. Compound names, invented words and added prefixes or suffixes are where free .com names still exist.
Is .com still worth it over a newer extension?
If the exact .com is free it is usually the safest pick because visitors type it by habit. If it is taken, a relevant newer extension is a better option than a misspelled .com.
