Why

Why choose a .org domain

Donors, volunteers and contributors read .org as a signal that an organisation exists for a mission, not just a margin. That earned trust is why the world's best-known nonprofits, standards bodies and open-source projects live on .org addresses.

There's no eligibility test — anyone can register one — but the association with good-faith organisations is strong and worth owning early if your project fits.

FAQ

.org domain questions

How much does a .org domain cost?

Registering a .org domain costs $11.99 for the first year and renews at $17.99/yr — both figures are shown side by side before you pay, so there are no year-two surprises.

Do I have to be a registered charity to use .org?

No — .org is open to anyone. Registered charities, informal community groups, open-source projects and even individuals can register one with no documentation.

Is .org good for SEO?

Google treats .org the same as .com — no boost, no penalty. The trust benefit is with humans: for causes and communities, .org tends to earn more clicks and more benefit-of-the-doubt.

Should a business use .org?

Usually not as its main address — visitors expect a mission-driven organisation behind .org. Businesses often register it defensively alongside the .com, though.
