Dot-com

A term used to describe Internet websites ending with the domain suffix ".com". This term started being used and was popularized in 1995 during the start of the dot-com boom, when companies and individuals in large quantities started websites on the Internet and started making a lot of money. Between 1995 and 2001 the Internet experienced what is now referred to as the dot-com bubble, which was the time dot-com companies and websites were making an enormous amount of money primarily off of stocks until the bubble started to burst in 2000 and Internet companies started going under.
