The Extension
Why .org?
.org carries a reputation no marketing budget can buy: four decades as the home of nonprofits, charities, standards bodies and open projects has made it shorthand for organisations that exist for a purpose rather than a profit. Visitors extend it trust before the page loads — a measurable head start.
Despite the associations, .org is open to everyone, with no eligibility checks. Registration activates instantly, our nameservers answer from the moment you complete it, and WHOIS privacy is included — relevant for community organisers whose home address should not be one search away from their cause.
Good Fit
.org works best for
- Charities, nonprofits and foundations
- Community groups, clubs and campaigns
- Open-source projects and standards efforts
- Documentation and resource sites that trade on neutrality

Common Questions
Questions about .org
Do I have to be a registered charity to use .org?
No — .org has no eligibility requirements and never has had. Anyone can register one. The nonprofit association is convention rather than regulation, which is exactly why the extension works so well for community projects that are not formally incorporated.
Is .org good for search rankings?
Search engines treat .org like any generic TLD, so it neither boosts nor hinders rankings by itself. Where it can help indirectly is click-through: for mission-driven searches, a .org result often reads as more credible than the same title on a commercial extension.
How quickly can a new .org accept donations or sign-ups?
As quickly as you can point it at hosting — the domain itself is live within minutes of registration. Pair it with hosting and SSL in the same visit and a working, encrypted site can be taking sign-ups the same afternoon.
