.org or .com - Saurik - 14.02.2012

Hello guys.


I am planning to work on a project for samp. It's a secret right now and it doesn't matter, really. I was wondering, would it be appropriate to use .com domain or .org. Both are available for the name I am using.

i know that .org is for non profit organizations and my project will sort of be non-profit (XD).

or

.com ?

just curious.

P.S. If anyone wants to help with web design, sigs .. etc.. please pm me.

Thanks.

Saurik did you not learn your lesson with your last server?

And using .org is honor-system based. There is no ICANN/IANA rule that requires the site be used strictly for non-profit business.

Hey man.. My server did pretty well but then it dies after i change hosts and change ips =/ died twice like that.



I'll prly go with .com. But I'm still thinking... hmm...

I get domains for free . Anyway, go with .com or something. Most people get .com

If you're an organization like Greenpeace, use .org. But, I doubt that, so I'd suggest you to use .com.

I don't think it really matters. '.com' is easier to remember.

Maybe you should re-read what nemesis wrote. He said there is NOT a rule that says you have to use a .org site for a non-profit organisation.
