.ORG domain names are used by the associations and non-profit organizations. The .org domain TLD is created in January 1985 but it has been operated since January 2003 by Public Interest Registry. .ORG domain is pronouced in word form as ‘dot-org' when spoken, although, also consistent with the style, not all users of the TLD agree on this usage.

.ORG domain was originally intended for use by organizations that did not meet the requirements for other gTLDs. Now anyone can register a .ORG domain . .org was the domain commonly recommended for use by individuals, although .name and .info are now alternatives.
