Create a .org address for your association, community or cause. Give members and supporters one recognisable place to learn about your work and get involved.
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.

About this extension
The story behind .org
Domain family
Generic domain associated with organisations
Registry operator
Public Interest Registry
Introduced
1985
Public Interest Registry (PIR) operates .org. It manages the extension’s registry, while your UKC account is where you handle your registration, renewal and domain settings. IANA: .org delegation record ↗ (opens in a new tab)
An original category for organisations
.org was included in the original domain categories as a place for organisations outside the other categories. IANA records its introduction in 1985. That broad beginning helps explain its range of uses today: a community, association or shared project can use .org without attaching its identity to one country.
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.
