WordPress – .com vs .org For Business

.COM is short for “COMpanies”.

.COM is the most popular and commonly used domain. I tried to make few research about why “.com” is the most popular but I couldn’t find a very convincing reason except that the first registered domain name was in the “.com” particularly SYMBOLICS.COM

.ORG also was one of the first generic TLDs.

If your site is NON-PROFIT in nature, a .COM or a .ORG or even any domain extension will definitely work for you. It doesn’t matter. It’s just like giving an extended name on your desired domain name. In short, take your pick. One thing is for sure, all domain extensions have the ability to post your site on the web.

If you’re a PROFIT-ORIENTED site, I believe .COM is better than .ORG. As World Wide Web(www) became more and more popular, web designers and web owners often desire to have addresses which can be easily remembered.

Um, Suzane, it's readily apparent that you did not watch the video. We're talking about WordPress.com and WordPress.org not about the general differences between the two tld's.

Just came across your site at quite possibly the perfect time. I'm currently working on building a blog and website of my own and found this information extremely helpful. I forwarded your site to a buddy of mine who is working on setting up a couple blogs.
