.ORG Domain Requirements & Criteria Generic FAQ - Can I register a .ORG domain name?
- Yes. .ORG always has been -- and will continue to be -- an open and unrestricted domain. Anyone is allowed to register and use .ORG domain names.
* .ORG is the home for millions of nonprofit Web sites, including charitable, artistic, scientific, personal, educational, social, cultural and religious sites.
* .ORG sites are run by clubs, incorporated and unincorporated not-for-profit organizations, industry associations, families, individuals, schools, foundations, and more. Even for-profit companies have .ORG sites devoted to their noncommercial activities, such as charitable or volunteer programs.
* Many noncommercial organizations conduct commerce to support their activities. Examples include clubs that raise funds, hospitals, noncommercial Web sites that run advertising to support their operations, etc.
- Must I have a dedicated server set up when I register a .ORG domain?
- Yes. At least two functioning domain names servers (DNS) should be presented for the registered name at request time. Non-accordance to this requirement can result in the failure of the completion of the registration. Contact 101Domain for more information or for more help setting up DNS.
- Why is it necessary that name servers are correctly configured before the registration?
- 101Domain requires that only technically operational domains are registered, in order to avoid overloading the internet with untraceable domains. This does not mean that you have to use the domain immediately. The date of the actual launch is decided by you.
- What kind of contacts will I need to have to register a .ORG domain name?
- You will need three contacts: an Administrative Contact, a Technical Contact, and a Billing Contact.
- Can I count myself as one of the contacts?
- Yes. Most people are in fact, the Billing Contact. 101Domain recommmends utilizing two other sources for the Administrative and Technical contacts.
