The .org domain was originally created for non-commercial organisations and is today managed by the Public Interest Registry (PIR). It stands for credibility, public benefit and trust.
The .org domain stands for organizations, associations, non-profits and community projects. It signals integrity and trustworthiness – ideal for anyone wanting to emphasize credibility and community spirit.
The .org domain is particularly suitable for associations, NGOs, non-profit organizations, open-source projects and community initiatives. Commercial businesses can also use .org to emphasize their community focus.
.org domains can be registered by any natural or legal person worldwide without restrictions. There is no requirement to be an organization.
