.org domains only for organizations?

[FreshKaz11]

Are .org domains only for organizations? Or could anyone purchase a domain with .org at the end? What if it wasn't allowed, what happens if you had a .org domain?

What is the difference between.com and .org,the most important thing is to own a website and make it very easy for people to access it,that is what people in the public expect not the .org or something.

Even if .org is an extension anyone can use, you have to consider how it will look professionally, especially if it's for a business you take seriously and would like to attract investors.
A personal blog, fashion, music, entertainment would do better without such an extension.
Plus it's not cheap to maintain.

NO its not however it should be, when you're picking out a domain extension make sure the domain fits don't just purchase yellow.net because its available.. like server.net sounds better then server.com imo...

.org domain isn't only meant for organization. So far you have any name you want to register you can decide to go for either .com or . org domain extension and get your website ready after the design

For the fact that most organisation makes use of it as their domain marker doesn't really mean that it cannot be used by any other website owner online.

Anybody can use .org domain extension to their domain name and it doesn't necessarily mean that it should be for organization only. So far so good that is my own idea about the question

 

[Kelly5]

There is no rule or law anywhere that says only organisations can only use the .org domains for their websites. I know individuals who also use the .org domains that don't have organization

.org domain extension is only and are mainly used for non governmental organization. The .gov is been used for government organization. To get the domain extension, you have to find a service provider like wix, HostGator and the rest. These extension are coming with charges so the chargers varies from one provider to another.

it can be used by anyone, but it's too expensive that an individual would spend money on, that's why if you aren't an organization, just don't use it, it's just an extra money to spend

If that the case then no need of even trying since its expensive and only organizations can afford that but even individuals with enough capital can try it.

.org domain can be used by anyone. The thing is that, .com is easily remembered by most users. Except you'll redirect your users from your .org to your .com site to avoid losing traffic

That is the major reason why the extension was created initially. but does he does he have an organisation are also using the extension when dot com and dot net are no longer available for the domain name they want to register.

.org extension was primarily made for organisations. However you can use it if you plan to have a non profit platform. Lìke so many charity platforms or free digital content platforms use .org extension.

 

[Immilash]

Domains that end with "dot org" can be owned by anyone. I
have seen many people owning it. In fact, some freelancing
platforms also own such domains and many blog owners also
own such domains. However, "dot com" domains are most
commonly used domains.

These days you can use any domain extensions you want for any purpose. You can use dot org for a commercial blog, or even a shopping site. There is no issue with domain extensions.

 

[Trexxxy]

Anyone can Purchase the domain extension, I think organisation just like to use it to differentiate themselves or make it look more official. There are organisations that use .com as well, it doesn't really matter.

I don't know if anyone still considers the extension of the domain. I never had any problems, I took what field I wanted and I liked the name. I didn't take into account that .org is an organization, .gov is government etc ... and I haven't had any problems so far.

Seriously, I believe that is a minor thing that most people don't really look into but what they consider is once the website load the layout of the website and the speed of the website loading then they can decide to make use of it or not.

In as much as one has the money to but those type of domain ending with .org I dont think its a problem,but mostly its organizations that usually use such type of domain.

You can make use of org extension if dot-com extension of the domain name you want to use is no longer available. Dot org extension is not only meant for an organization website.
