The suffix of domains (The ".com", ".org", so on) were made for a couple of reasons.

Websites like to say what they're about. "Com" stands for "Commercial", "Org" stands for "Organization", and so on. Although having a "com" domain suffix, a website does not really need to be a commercial organization. And because of that, "Com" has turned into the normal site suffix, due to it's easy memorization and commonness.

Also, domain suffixes were made to have many more available domain names. [ www.example.com ] could be taken, but that will leave atleast 50 more domains, if you switch around the suffixes.
