How the .org WHOIS lookup works
Live results from PIR's authoritative RDAP server.
Enter a .org domain name
Type the .org domain into the search box. Non-profit and community organizations are among the most common .org registrants.
FetchWhois queries PIR's RDAP server
The Public Interest Registry (PIR) operates the .org RDAP server. We resolve the endpoint via IANA and query it live.
Read the .org registration record
Registrar, dates, status, nameservers and DNSSEC are returned. Non-profit registrants may show organizational contact details where GDPR redaction does not apply.
.org domains: the TLD for non-profits and communities
.org is one of the original six top-level domains, created in 1985 and intended for organizations that did not fit neatly into .com or .net. Today it is most commonly associated with non-profit organizations, charities, open-source projects, community groups and educational initiatives — though there are no formal restrictions on who can register a .org domain. The Public Interest Registry (PIR), a non-profit subsidiary of ISOC (the Internet Society), has operated the .org registry since 2003.
WHOIS lookups for .org domains use PIR's RDAP server. Like all gTLDs, .org registration records include registrar, creation/expiry dates, nameservers and DNSSEC. Since many .org registrants are organizations rather than individuals, contact redaction is somewhat less prevalent than on .com — organizational entities may retain visibility. DNSSEC adoption is notably high among .org domains, particularly for high-profile non-profits.
