Best Answer

The word dot represents the punctuation mark '.' (the period, or dot), which is also used as a separator in the hierarchical internet domain name system. For example, wiki.answers.com uses two such separators.

In context with "Dot Net", commonly spelled .NET, the dot is not so much used as an Internet domain name separator as such, but as part of a trademark or brand name. It's resemblance to "Internet" both by using the dot and the word net suggests a modern, networking-ready technology or product, but the dot in .NET has no other special meaning.

Last not least, the Internet domain name system supports .net domains similar to other top-level domains such as .com. Originally, .net domains were supposed to be used by non-commercial US organizations. Today, three-letter top-level domains (e.g. .edu, .com, .net, .gov, etc) are no longer limited to US organizations, and .net domains are not limited to non-commercial organizations.
