.org
non-profits, open source, and trust signaling.
.org reads as 'organisation, probably non-profit'. It's the default choice for charities, standards bodies, foundations, Wikipedia, and most open-source projects. The Public Interest Registry runs it as a non-profit itself, which has translated into relatively stable pricing and policy over decades.
There is no enforcement that you actually be a non-profit — anyone can register. But the connotation is strong, so a commercial business on .org without an obvious mission focus reads as slightly off. Use it deliberately, not as a fallback.
Best for
non-profits, foundations, communities, open-source projects.
Renewal price across registrars $13–$20 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
