A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join. Fans from around the world submit their information to their approved fanlisting and they are then listed to show their love for the subject.

.com is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used on the Internet. It was one of the original top-levels, established in January 1985, and has grown to be the largest TLD in use today. (This fanlisting is currently hosted on a .com, EveryStarFall.com!)
To pronounce it, you say it as the word combination "dot-com", which has entered the common language. Have you ever heard of the "dot-com revolution" or "dot-com boom"? This is what people are talking about!
.coms were originally intended for commercial use (that's where the .com gets it's name from - commercial), but they are available for anyone to register whether it be for personal or business use. In the 1990s, .com became the most common top-level domain for websites, especially commercial ones. The introduction of the alternative .biz, which is restricted to businesses, has had little impact on the popularity of .com, which is still considered the #1 TLD anybody looks for when wanting to establish an online identity. Since the 90s, .com has increased exponentionally in popularity and hundreds of millions of .coms are active on the Internet today.
Not to mention that a good .com is prime real estate. If you were to own a domain that somebody wants (and since there are virtually no more English dictionary word .coms available, they are highly sought after), they may be willing to pay good money to get it from you. As an example, Men.com sold in an online auction for $4,000,000.00USD. That's 4 million buckaroonies for a domain name! Phew!
.com domain registrations/purchases are processed via accredited registrars and are reasonably priced at an annual rate. For recommended registrars, please visit the extras section.
