.org in official ICANN figures
.org is the historic extension for non-commercial organisations, created in 1985 and managed by PIR (Public Interest Registry), a non-profit. Over 12 604 255 active domains in June 2026.
While technically open to all, .org remains the favoured choice for NGOs, associations, foundations, open-source projects and non-profit institutions. PIR's non-profit status guarantees this mission.
Official figures come from ICANN MRR. LWS is an ICANN-accredited registrar (IANA ID 1630) and registers .org directly.
