Zuri Internship HNGi8
Published: 2021-08-15 21:34:45



My name is Omolade Sunday, a year 3 student of department of computer science and engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University. HNG internship is very popular at my school due to the fact that most of my senior colleagues have participated in the program and completed it. I attempted the HNGi7  training late last year but couldn't complete it  because my devices developed issues during the third week of the training program so I was eliminated because of my inactiveness on the platform which was very heartbreaking for me. 
 
When I first registered for the program, my goal was to make friends with developers in my stack (MERN) and further improve my knowledge as a developer. But that change a bit when Mark Essien said we can have our SIWES programs and IT for those that are in the higher institution if we eventually gain promotion to stage 5.

Zuri Internship just started, it never too late to register click on the link to register https://internship.zuri.team

Why do most websites have a .com domain extension
Published: 2021-08-15 20:40:40

##Domain suffix significance
Domain suffix defines the category of the website and .com is used for commercial purposes. Since the majority of the websites are used for commercial purposes .com is the oldest and widely used domain suffix in the world and it has become the gold standard for registration. 46% of the world's website use .com 

##Sign of trust
Since it is the most widely used domain suffix in the world, It gives credibility and comes with a sense of trust to the people because people see more of it in their daily life and link it to legitimacy. This is normal human behavior.

## Sales
It is by far the most premium and expensive top-level domain. It has high demands in the market. It has very high resale prices too compared to other domain extensions.
 
##TLD benefits
.com doesn't have any specific rules attached to it like if you have to buy a .us domain extension you have to prove your residency in the US but you can literally go global with .com. This is a big reason big companies or startups go with it as it has no restrictions or rules tied to it.

##SEO benefits
The main work of SEO is to show the most relevant website to the user and search engines are known to rank .com websites better than country-specific domain extensions in universal search results. A URL needs to be memorable and sometimes people just assume that you have a .com domain suffix this gives an upper edge to the website

##Issues
One of the issues with the .com domain suffix is its availability. In most cases .com will be sold for your business name and it will hard to get.
