All about .org

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Probably the most familiar .ORG domain on the web today is http://wikipedia.org. This gTLD was created in 1984 as one of the Internet’s original top-level domains, and has wide-ranging use including open source projects (http://drupal.org/), sports groups (http://www.specialolympics.org/), advocacy (http://www.kiva.org/) and causes (http://www.cbcf.org/). As the third largest gTLD, it is used worldwide, connecting smaller pockets of communities and giving them collective global reach. Public Interest Registry (PIR), the .ORG registry operator since 2003, has embraced social media to support organizations in a wide variety of ways including their YouTube Channel and World Voices events program. Your customers will find all types of videos highlighting the various uses of .ORG. Check out the video below.

.ORG Quick Facts

  • There are more than 7 million .ORG domains around the world.
  • It is the third largest gTLD behind .COM and .NET.
  • PIR (Public Interest Registry) is the registry operator.

  • They were the official sponsor for the 13th Annual Webby Awards.
  • PIR is actively promoting implementation of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for their TLD and signed their zone on June 2, 2009.

Introducing victoriacarpets.co.uk

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Did you know that as well as providing great value web hosting and domain name registration, simplewebhosting.co.uk are also award-winning web designers? We’d like to tell you about one project launched this month.

Victoria Carpets and Curtains - www.victoriacarpets.co.ukVictoria Carpets and Curtains is a local, family run business established in
1979 based in nearby Stoke-on-Trent. Proprietors Joe and Julie Harrington Thorley are confident their business’s friendly, confident service can furnish customers’ every need and bring a touch of luxury and quality to every home.

We had already created Joe and Julie’s Orlando villa website in 2007 (http://www.victoriavillas-florida.com) so when it came to updating their business website, simplewebhosting.co.uk was the obvious choice.

The existing Victoria Carpets and Curtains website was becoming difficult to update and, more importantly, was very unattractive to the search engines such as Google and Yahoo! We were able to closely match the current design (which the customer liked), add more information, extra pages and make the whole site much more search engine friendly.

Visit www.victoriacarpets.co.uk to see the end result.
