TLD or Top Level Domain
The three parts of a domain name are the host record (www, @(none) or *(other)), the SLD (second level domain) and the TLD (top level domain) or ccTLD (country code top level domain). For example wiki.answers.com:wiki = host nameanswers = SLD (second level domain).com = TLD (top level domain)
.com means organization is a commercial one.
.com means organization is a commercial one.
If you are referring to the ".com" or ".net" portion of the domain name, it is called the "top level domain name." Anything in between "www" and the top level domain name is called a secondary domain name.
No. Not necessarily.I have 15 ".com" domain names legally registered and I'm a Canadian citizen and resident.Some TLDs (top level domains) have restrictions, but ".com" domain names don't.Example: ".ca" domain names have Canadian residency requirements.But the better known ".com", ".net", ".org", can be registered to anybody on earth.Dot-Com means commercial. Worldwide online.So, "if a website address contains .com" then no, there's no reason to assume that it's American.A "WhoIs" lookup on the domain might help find information about who owns the domain name.

On the Internet, "com" is one of the top-level domain names that can be used when choosing a domain name. It generally describes the entity owning the domain name as a commercial organization. Along with the second-level domain name (for example: "whatis" in whatis.com), the top-level domain name is required in Web and e-mail addresses.The top-level domain names administered by ICANN and its delegate agencies are: com, edu, gov, int, mil, net, and org. In addition to these, domain name applicants within the United States may also be able to register a name under a U.S. top-level domain name based on geography. See RFC 1480 - The US Domain and visit the U.S. Domain Registry for registration procedures.
