.com versus .org

[Terell Kirby]

What is the primarily difference between the two? I am preparing to start my life coaching practice Q1 2022.

I plan on charging for coaching services and learning materials/products. However, the coaching is grounded in high consciousness ways of parenting children, and would like to partner with similar organizations in the future.

.org has historically been for non-profits but it is acceptable to use it now for anyone because everyone knows it is cheaper than .com. 

no real difference, except if it is .org you prob need to include .org in your brand name so that people remember it and don't type in .com. 

.com is better since it is the go to, but it is usually much more expensive to buy the domain name. If both are within your price range, .com is preferrable.

@Bob Seeker thank you!

There is no real difference other than aesthetics.

.com is the best as that is what people first try typing in when searching for a brand.

.net is another potential domain you can try if you can't get your hands on .com
