eloquacious Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I am planning to start a homeschooling web site which not only chronicles our journey, but would provide a repository of our own lessons as well as those who wish to submit theirs on the subject/topic/book. I am going to call it "Non Scholae, Sed Vitae" (an abbreviated form of "non scholae sed vitae discimus," the Latin phrase meaning "We do not learn for school but for life."), and I am not sure if a .com or a .org address would be preferable. Is there really a difference? Since .com, the simplest address, is available, should I just take it? JoAnne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yeah, take the .com if it's available. That's the first one people will try when typing in your site. Sometimes I also get the .net version too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricm Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think using a .com for a website if the goal is personal in nature or if the goal is making money. If the goal of your site is for many folks share with one another (hence creating an organization) and the profit is not the goal then I'd use .org. Seems like .com is best for your situation. rm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I would use .com for the same reasons that Angela mentioned. Sounds like a cool idea :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Traditionally, .org was reserved for actual non-profit organizations. I would just use .com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
