On list prices (coupons not counted), the lowest first-year .org quote is from TFhost: US$5.15 for the first year, US$8.17 to renew — renewal is about 1.6× the first-year price. Across the 74 registrars quoting both a first-year and a renewal price, the median renewal-to-first-year multiple is about 1.4×.
On the page's ranking basis (counting eligible coupons), the lowest 3-year cost is at TFhost (US$21.49), not at Spaceship, the cheapest first year.

.org is not on the extension list in China’s MIIT “Chinese Internet domain name system” page. Alibaba Cloud’s filing guide says suffixes not on the list cannot be used for ICP filing and that the registrar must also be approved by MIIT; being listed is a precondition only, not a guarantee that filing succeeds.

Daily snapshots of the nazhumi.com open API across all quoting registrars. Page version: 2026-10-16 17:12 UTC. Failed per-suffix rounds keep the last published quote and are marked stale.
On list prices, the lowest first-year .org quote is from TFhost: US$5.15 for the first year and US$8.17 to renew, so renewal is about 1.6× the first-year price. Across 74 registrars quoting both prices, the median renewal-to-first-year multiple is about 1.4×. Because the first-year and renewal prices differ, compare on the 3-year cost; the registrar states the exact terms of any offer. Amounts are converted at the snapshot rate; the registrar's own page is authoritative.

No eligibility requirements: anyone may register, according to PIR. This applies to second-level registrations. Check the registrar's terms before you register.

According to ICANN's gTLD list, the registry operator of .org is Public Interest Registry.
According to ICANN's records, .org was delegated to the DNS root zone on 1985-01-01. The delegation date is not the date public registration opened.
Yes. The root zone publishes a DS record for .org, so the extension has a DNSSEC trust anchor in the root. Whether you can enable DNSSEC on your own domain depends on the registrar.
