com

Commercial web suffix

Com is an informal shortening of "come" in casual online writing, or a clipped form of words like "communication" or "commercial." Most commonly, .com is the familiar internet domain suffix originally designated for commercial websites but now used broadly across the web.

In gaming and internet culture, comms (with the s) refers to voice or text communications between players or team members.
