.org domain registration

.org is widely associated with organizations, communities, open-source projects, educational initiatives, and public-interest work. It can help communicate that a project is mission-driven rather than primarily commercial.

Best uses for .org

.org is a strong fit when the domain represents a group, cause, knowledge base, public resource, or project that is not primarily positioned as a commercial storefront.

  • Nonprofits, foundations, associations, and communities.
  • Open-source projects, documentation hubs, and educational sites.
  • Research, advocacy, public information, and membership projects.

How to choose a .org name

Choose a name that communicates purpose. A .org domain often benefits from words that describe the mission, audience, or topic clearly.

If the project may later become commercial, consider whether a .com should also be registered to protect the brand.
