Here's what you need to know about .org domains:
* Not restricted: While traditionally associated with non-profits, anyone can register a .org domain.
* Credibility: The .org suffix can often lend credibility to a website, as it implies a focus on a specific cause or mission.
* Alternative to .com: Many organizations opt for .org as a more informative and appropriate alternative to .com, which is generally used for commercial websites.
Examples of websites using the .org domain:
* World Health Organization: who.int
* American Red Cross: redcross.org
* Mozilla Foundation: mozilla.org
* Wikimedia Foundation: wikimedia.org
Note: While .org domains are commonly used by non-profits, they are not exclusively for them. You might also find .org websites belonging to:
* Professional associations
* Political groups
* Religious organizations
* Independent researchers
* Personal projects
The .org suffix helps to categorize websites and gives users a general idea of what to expect when visiting a site with that domain.
