Dot ORG

[TOXX]

Ok, this will just make my quest to put a spotlight on "forgotten original extensions" complete!
...
Upon general consensus, .ORG is the ONLY extension so far that most people would agree can have a stand alone website without .COM
(We personally have a company website using only .org)
...
The biggest problem with .ORG seems to be that many names don't fit the extension, but I don't really agree since the domain has been around since the very beginning and can easily be made as generic as the Almighty .COM!
...
Any and All feedback, including any recent significant sales or showcase domains/websites, greatly appreciated! :tu:

I agree totally. .ORG is as important a .COM and infact much more trusted because of its ties with Governments and Charity org's. >ORG can be of help to users and also a very good business machine since people searching on .ORG sites are looking for specific information. Information you can lead them to and generate a good income through sales.

Check my sig!

As my sig would indicate, I'm a big .org fan. Though not just a fan - I've made quite a lot of .org sales over the years, registered ones for as high as $3,000. Even though I'm a believer in .org fitting a lot more things than most people give it credit for, my personal favorites are the domains that fit well with it. Some I have like that are HelpVictims.org, PeaceOut.org, LiveHappy.org, etc. There's definitely a trustfulness to the extension, which has helped some sites gain massive authority. Look at how many people rely on Wikipedia for information?

.org was my favorite tld back in the day, i remember registering one in 1998 for my homepage not even thinking about registering .com

For my brother-in-law's non-profit organization, I regged the .org and the .com. I made the .org the main domain name and redirected the .com to it. Whether warranted or not, .org instills a sense of trust.

Yes, people assume there is no monetary gain involved in a .org site...thus the trust

No .net in this one because it's a long name and not a valuable type-in name. His is a small local non-profit organization. I had to reg 4 different names because the word "theater" is in the name, so I also had to get the variant/British spelling "theatre" as well.

In this case, when the .coms were available, it didn't make sense to reg the .net on a so-so name. For my brother-in-law's purposes, the .com and .org were enough, and I followed his wishes.

Lesser .net domains work well (developed) when the .com is parked or otherwise underutilized.

On the other hand, developed one-word and premium .nets OFTEN outrank .com domains that are parked or not used.

While I love the .net TLD, I'm also pragmatic.

I actually agree...but personally I couldn't not reg the .NET also (lets leave that for The .NET Thread, though, Jennifer ).

Ok, to get back to .ORG...one of my favs I own is OceanWater.Org ...fits the extension perfectly imo.

Is anyone making any decent parking revenue with .ORG's?
