Public Interest Registry (PIR), the non-profit organisation that administers '.org' domain name registration, announced that there are now more than four million .org domain names registered worldwide.
The non-commercial domain name was created in1984 and has since grown to be the third largest generic top-level domain, behind '.com' and '.net'. When country top-level domain names are considered, .org is the fifth-largest domain. In promoting the .org domain, PIR offers discounts targeting potential registrants in Latin America, Africa, India, China and Southeast Asia.
PIR is a non-profit organisation created by the Internet Society. It assumed control of the .org domain in 2003.
