The fees on .org are expensive compared to the other top level domains com/net
I recently switched from org to the countrycode version for a domain that was available and saved half of the cost.
- reidjs 6y agoSo $1 per month instead of $2?
- nso 6y agoNot everyone counts their holdings in USD. That price difference may be what sets a launched and abandoned project apart. One of my neighbors is 17 and interested in coding and computers. I'd say their family MAYBE brings in 250 USD a month -- but probably less. A dollar can be a lot.
- rodone 6y agoYeah, let's get private equity involved, that'll make it cheaper for sure.
- Kwpolska 6y agoDoes your neighbor really need a domain, and does it have to be a .org? You can do web stuff with free or ultra-cheap domains. And most hosting services will cost much more than the $0.67 or $0.85 you pay per month for a .com or .org respectively (at CloudFlare Domains).
- nso 6y agoHe probably doesn't need an .org, but I was more commenting on the general attitude displayed by the parent poster.
- renewiltord 6y agoWhen I was young, I was in that state. Some light black-hat SEOing and ad fraud and you can pay for the domain. Some other stuff that works is to generate content for a bunch of pointless sites that are trying to make it look like they're high traffic. Also, that's why I'm a huge fan of not enforcing minimum age on work globally for digital work. I did all this as a teenager and it helped me become an engineer. I think it's even better now, though KYC stuff probably makes it much harder to get paid. So you have better avenues (Fiverr, Upwork, etc.) but maybe difficulty getting the dollars into your local currency.
- TonyTrapp 6y agoI'd be really interested where you can buy .org domains for $2 a year so that I can move my domains there. Please don't disappoint me!
- Sebguer 6y agoThe comment says "per month".
- Triv888 6y agowhere do you get .org for $2?
- minot 6y agoThey said per month which is USD 24 a year I guess?
- wolco2 6y agoLike 20/30 for a .org compared to 10.99. For a hobbiest who isn't making money off the site and has a few domains costs will start to mount. 5 domains can cost you an extra 100. Note: All prices are coverted to local currency.
- duud 6y agoCurrently $2/yr extra ($10.99/yr) at Dynadot and most other good registrars
