.org domains
Register a .org domain — $35/year, same at renewal
A .org costs $35 a year including GST at Chill Domains, and renewal is the same list price. It’s run by Public Interest Registry and open to anyone — you don’t need to be a charity or a not-for-profit to register one.
Type just the name — we’ll assume .org on this page.

.org or .org.au for an Australian not-for-profit?
.org is widely used by charities, community groups and open-source projects, but owning one says nothing about your legal status. Nobody checks what kind of organisation you are when you register.
.org.au is the Australian version. It has auDA eligibility rules for not-for-profit organisations, so it tells visitors where you are and what you are. A .org suits international work, or groups that don’t meet auDA’s rules.
Many Australian organisations hold both and forward one to the other. URL forwarding is included.
What the price includes
- DNS hosting with A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV and CAA records, plus email and URL forwarding
- Plain-text renewal reminders 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before expiry — they stop if you renew or tell us not to
- Passkey and two-factor sign-in, and a transfer code you can reveal yourself any time
- Registered through an accredited wholesale registrar partner, named as the registrar in public WHOIS
