# .org Domain Names — Register a .org Domain | Name.ai

.org is one of the original generic extensions and is read as institutional — non-profits, standards bodies, open-source foundations and advocacy groups. Registration is open to anyone, but the association is strong enough that using it for a commercial product can read as a mismatch.

## Character

- One of the earliest generic extensions, with three decades of association with non-commercial organisations.
- Open to any registrant despite that association — there is no non-profit verification requirement.
- The perception is the asset and the constraint: it lends credibility to a foundation and creates friction for a commercial storefront.

## Good for

- Non-profits, foundations and advocacy organisations
- Open-source projects and standards bodies
- Industry associations and member organisations

## Consider instead

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I have to be a non-profit to register a .org domain?

No. .org is open to any registrant with no non-profit verification. The convention is one of perception rather than policy — which is exactly why using it for a commercial product can read as a mismatch to visitors.
