.COM is pretty much the default extension for any site, be it commercial, personal, public, or non-profit...
.NET was traditionally used by technology/internet related sites
.ORG was traditionally only usable by non-profit organizations.
Nowadays, any site can use any extension without having to strictly cater to what it was created to cater to.
The reason why many sites register all the top level domain extensions (.com, .net, .org) is to prevent cyber-squatters and domain spoofers, especially if it's a commercial site.
