You do know that .org's are for nonprofit companies right? Sorry for giving you a hard time its just comes from my extensive web background.

Thanks for pointing this out and making me curious enough to research this. I used to think the same thing you thought until I found some info about it.

What is ".org"? .org is one of the seven original "generic" Top Level Domains. It is currently the Internet's fifth-largest TLD, with over two million registrations worldwide. .org was originally intended as a "miscellaneous" TLD for organizations that weren't commercial entities, educational institutions, network providers, or governmental agencies. In recent years registration in .org has become open and unrestricted (it will stay that way under its new operator.)

Commercial businesses also benefit. Registering a .ORG lends credibility to the activities of a charitable arm, protects your brand name registered with other TLDs and gives customers another path to your website.

Quite interesting...

By the way Gordon, your card is pretty good though I don't care for the redish color.

I also know that I registered it in 1995 when domain name were free. The Internet is a vastly different place now than it was then.

It has nothing to do with non-profit or profit, it has to do with marketing, branding and success. More often than not, if somebody is given a domain name to remember, the natural inclination is to associate it with a dot-com. In other words, if you tell somebody verbally "my site is joeshmoephotography.or​g" they may not have their fullest attention on you and when they get home, they will type in ".com" which is a natural reflex. They may much less frequently type in a dot-net, and many people may not attempt to discover the domain by trying a dot-org.

When, where and how and why YOU got the domain is irrelevant. What is relevant is what your CUSTOMER'S perceptions are, and most people still associate them with non-profit organizations and not with businesses.

Traditional associations (with dot-com) is why .biz, .tv, etc. have failed dismally as top level domains.

You need a dot-com domain.

Edit. This entire article (external link) may be of help to you, but if you do not read it all, read point #2
