About the .ORG domain
What is the .ORG domain?
It is managed by PIR (Public Interest Registry), a non-profit entity linked to ISOC (Internet Society), under ICANN supervision. Although today anyone can register a .org without formal restrictions — you do not need to be a recognized NGO — its decades of accumulated reputation make it the extension that conveys the most trust for purpose-driven projects, communities and public-interest organizations.

Frequently asked questions about the .ORG domain
How much does it cost to register a .org domain with miHosting?
Registration costs $8.99/year and annual renewal is the same price. No setup fees or hidden costs. It is one of the most recognized extensions in the world at a very competitive price.
Do I need to be an NGO or association to register a .org?
No. The .org has no formal restrictions: any person, company or project can register one without needing to justify its use or prove non-profit status. However, thanks to its accumulated reputation, it is the extension that adds the most value to projects with a mission, community focus or public purpose.
Does .org rank as well as .com in Google?
Yes. Google treats all gTLDs — including .org — with the same authority. Rankings depend on content quality, domain authority and SEO strategy, not on the extension. Wikipedia.org, with billions of visits, is the clearest proof that .org can compete at any level.
What advantage does .org have over .com for a non-profit project?
The .org immediately conveys credibility, purpose and transparency. When a user sees .org in a URL from an NGO or community project, it lowers their distrust barrier. Many organizations that also own the .com use .org as their primary domain to reinforce their public-interest image.
Can I use .org for a personal blog or individual project?
Yes, with no issues. There is no rule preventing anyone from registering a .org for personal use. Bloggers, content creators, independent researchers and individual communicators use .org perfectly normally. If your project has an informational, educational or community vocation, .org may be the best choice.
Can I transfer my .org domain from another provider to miHosting?
Yes. Transferring a .org to miHosting has no management fee and automatically renews your domain for one additional year. The process takes 5 to 7 days. You only need the authorization code (EPP/Auth Code) provided by your current registrar.
