How has the .org stock evolved?
The .org stock grows steadily but moderately. PIR's registry stability and non-profit status make it a safe and durable choice for organisations.
The 2019 attempted sale of .org to a private fund (Ethos Capital) sparked strong community opposition; ICANN eventually blocked the deal, cementing the registry's non-profit status.
ICANN publishes monthly per-registrar flows. .org is among the TLDs with the highest renewal rates (a sign of lasting attachment).
Frequently asked questions
Why is .org considered « safe »?
PIR is a non-profit registry, unlike Verisign (commercial). The community oversees this status, ensuring price stability.
