How to Register an Org Domain
.Org is a top level domain extension that identifies organizations that have established an Internet presence via a website. Unlike its .com and .net counterparts that are used for selling and marketing purposes, the .org extension is best for providing information about your organization to the public. The extension alone lets the website visitor know, before clicking on your website, that you are an organization versus a commercial entity desiring to make money.

By choosing a relevant domain name, you are helping to optimize your website for search engines, which will help drive traffic to your site. For example, if your organization's name is "Helping Single Mothers," then helpingsinglemothers.org would be ideal.
