The domain name net is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The name is derived from the word network, indicating it was originally intended for organizations involved in networking technologies, such as Internet service providers and other infrastructure companies. However, restrictions were never enforced and the domain is now a general purpose namespace. It is still popular with network operators, the advertising sector, and is often treated as an alternative to com.
net is one of the original top-level domains (the other six being com, us, edu, gov, mil, and org) despite not being mentioned in RFC 920, having been created in January 1985. As of 2015, it is the fourth most popular top-level domain, after .com, .tk and .de.
Verisign, the operator of net after acquiring Network Solutions, held an operations contract that expired on 30 June 2005. ICANN, the organization responsible for domain management, sought proposals from organizations to operate the domain upon expiration of the contract. Verisign regained the contract bid, and secured its control over the net registry for another six years. On 30 June 2011, the contract with Verisign was automatically renewed for another six years. This is because of a resolution approved by the ICANN board, which states that renewal will be automatic as long as Verisign meets certain ICANN requirements.
All the fun I never had
All the love you never gave
All the brains I never used
Against womankind, away from you
Fighting for the softest touch
Biting for the slowest kiss
Hating waiting to be missed
I could be a romantic kind of guy with you
Against womankind, away from you
You can laugh and I don't care
You'd never have the guts to dare
Or the heart to be aware
Pictures sever to hold me back
The only time the lens didn't crack
Was when I was by you
The truth is I feel better being miserable without you
Then happy with someone else
I want your friends to bury you
I want to watch them bury you
Then I'll know that I knew you
I prefer the dead of night
To living with a breathing lie that looks like you
And I prefer the cold of heart
