Top-level domain for non-profit organizations
Non-profit Organizations (NPOs for short) are organizations that exist for social welfare. This kind of organization does not gain private wealth from operations, but pursues social values and values. In order to better convey the value and meaning pursued by non-profit organizations, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) established two top-level domain names: .org and .ngo/.ong.

1. Description of .org

.org is a non-profit top-level domain name for non-profit organizations, community organizations, charities, etc. .org first appeared in 1985 and has been widely accepted as the logo for non-profit organizations.

On the Web, you can see websites using .org everywhere, such as the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, Wikipedia, etc. These are all well-known non-profit organizations. It is considered the domain name of choice for non-profit organizations.

2. Description of .ngo/.ong

.ngo/.ong is a new generation of non-profit top-level domain names. ICANN approved the use of .nto/.ong domain names in 2015.

.ngo (Non-government Organization) and .ong (Organisation Non-Gouvernementale) have the same meaning in different languages. The use of .ngo/.ong domain names requires some special authentication. In addition to proving that you are a non-profit organization, you also need to submit relevant documents and supporting materials. The relevant ICANN certification bodies will review these certification materials and approve the necessary applications.
