The .ORG domain is home of noncommercial organizations on the Internet. .ORG was created in 1984 as one of the Internet's original top-level domains (TLDs), along with .COM, .NET, .GOV, .EDU, and .MIL. Traditionally the top-level domains of the Internet serve different user groups. The .ORG domain was designated as an "open, unrestricted" domain, one in which anyone could register. It has evolved into the domain used primarily for noncommercial endeavors around the world. It is the place where people build Web sites encompassing a wide range of noncommercial activity, including education, philanthropy, personal projects, arts and culture, community and civic activities, social and fraternal organizations, and much much more.
On January 1, 2003, the Public Interest Registry (PIR) became the new .ORG registry operator. PIR is committed to managing the .ORG domain in a way that supports the needs of the noncommercial community it serves, as well as educating and empowering noncommercial users. PIR wants to help organizations around the world increase their visibility, enhance their outreach and connect people to communities.

Who should use .ORG?
Organizations whose primary focus is noncommercial, such as: philanthropic and cultural institutions; foundations; health services; religious, civic, arts, social and fraternal organizations; social and legal services; clubs and community volunteer groups. In addition, organizations who have significant noncommercial activity, like large corporations with charitable activities, may want to use a .ORG for their community-oriented activities.
Why use .ORG instead of other top-level domains?
Other gTLDs like .COM or .NET are associated with commercial business. But .ORG means "noncommercial" to the vast majority of Internet users, so it enhances your image with a trusted and identifiable brand. And .ORG allows you to tap a global audience that shares your passion for whatever noncommercial endeavor you are pursuing.
