I always thought .org was for proper organisations or institutions, but I recently got a heads-up on newsfilter.org

I'm confused now because obviously its got porn content. Are they being naughty or is .org available for general use? Do you reckon I could get (say) robbie.org for myself?

Actually, if I was going to do my own website/blog thing, what's the best dot to use as a person/individual?

TIA

.org is open to anyone. back in the early days of the internet when NSI had a monopoly on domain name registrations the rules were a bit different. I do believe that they still require proof and verification for some domain types like .edu.

So, seriously, I could get a .co.uk but is that a bit naff? I always think of .com as companies/businesses. I just want a neutral one, not necessarily 'cool' but just normal/regular. I don't want none of that robbie.users.nildram.net stuff!

the big 3 in order are:

.com
.net
.org

i doubt there will be a "robbie" for any of those extensions though. & yes, i think the co.uk is a bit naff.

try to get one of the above 3, be creative so its easy to remember & try to be as short as possible.

I think you have to be a business to get a co.uk one.
Robbie, these are still available:
robbie.co.ck
robbie.co.ke
robbie.co.ma
robbie.com.bo
robbie.gg
robbie.is
robbie.to

And robbie.co.uk and robbie.net are for sale!

I do have my last name at .net, luckily I have a rare familyname.
