Choose with confidence

Is .org right for your idea?

Bring your activities under one name

A .org domain can give a group a consistent address for updates, resources and membership information. Choose a name that people outside the organisation can understand, rather than an internal abbreviation they may not recognise.

An organisation can reach beyond one country

Consider .org for a project with supporters or members in several countries. If your identity is specifically UK-based, compare .org.uk and decide whether the geographic ending helps explain who you serve.

Build trust through the website itself

The ending is not a charity badge or a guarantee of credibility. Explain who runs the organisation, provide clear contact details and describe what any donations or membership payments support. A useful, transparent website does the important work.

Questions about .org domains

Is .org restricted to charities?

No. The registry allows individuals, businesses and other organisations to register .org domains.

Should our UK charity choose .org or .org.uk?

Compare the audience you want to reach. .org works without a country-specific ending; .org.uk highlights a UK connection. You can register both if available, but each has its own fee.

Can different volunteers help manage the website?

Your choice of website platform determines editing access. Keep control of the domain and renewal contact details with the organisation, and arrange website access separately.

What happens after I find a domain?

Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.

Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?

No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
