I have decided to create an academic personal website, but I am unsure whether I should choose a .com
or a .org
domain.
I have read that .com
is mainly used by commercial organizations, whereas .org
is intended for nonprofit use. Hence from this viewpoint I should go for .org
, as my website will be nonprofit. On the other hand, many suggest to opt for .com
anyway (see e.g. here),
To complicate things further, I have verified that the domain namesurname.org
is available, whereas namesurname.com
is not.
