should I use a .org or .org.uk for my business. When should a .org be used? When should a .org.uk be used?
1. Domain name .org is truncated from organization. It was originally intended for non-profit entities, but this restriction was not enforced and has been removed. The domain is commonly used by schools, open-source projects, and communities, as well as by for-profit entities. 2. Domain name .org.uk is the recognised domain name extension for UK charities and non-profit organisations. The general public recognises that .org.uk represents such organisations and therefore conveys a sense of trust. Short answer : .org is for all kinds of organisations/entities, profit and non-profit. .org.uk is only for UK charities and non-profit organisations/entities.
few more differences to consider -- (1) .org is global and .org.uk is UK tld. (2) .org is easy to remember but .org.uk will have little more advantage in getting ranks in uk (3) See with which tld you are getting a better domain. Include co.uk into consideration. This is really important
The .org version is definitely the favorable one of these two. Nominet registry had originally only offered subdomains to the .uk TLD, which resulted in atrocit .org.uk and .co.uk constructions while the rest of the Western world was long using toplevel country domains. A while ago this was changed, so that users can now register .uk as a standalone extension. The standalone extensions like .org are better recognized globally, as the subdomain constructions appear gimrack to many users around the globe.
1. .org suppose to use a website that is built for an organisation.if your organisation want to spread worldwide you can use this type of domain extension like as .org. 2. .org.uk suppose to use a website that is built for an organisation.if your organisation want to spread UK you can use this type of domain extension like as .org.uk. My personal advice if you want to use your domain business purpose you should be use .com domain extension.
