Why use a .org domain?

Show your global identity

.org is one of the most popular top-level domains (TLDs) worldwide. Using a .org domain  shows visitors that your organization or website is aimed at a global audience but is most especially used by non-governmental organizations or not-for-profit organizations to present a less commercial online presence.

Protect your brand

When establishing your brand you should seek to protect your product and business names in the major top-level domains including .eu, .com, .org and .ie. This will help prevent issues down the line where other businesses or competitor might try and obtain the same names.

Get found easily
When targeting a global audience, using .org helps build global reach and avoids local restrictions. Outside of your home country, search engines like Google are more likely to show your site higher in searches by global visitors when it is on a .org domain name as compared to a country code domain like .ie.undefinednbsp; If your customers are primarily based outside of Ireland, or if you want to present a less commercial presence, using .org is a good idea.
More trusted
Especially in the case of non-governmental organizations or not-for-profit organizations, internet users naturally recognize .org domains which can improve click-through rates from search engines. International visitors, most especially those in the US may be less familiar with country code top-level domain names like .ie and so may be more comfortable visiting a site on a .org domain.
