As you can see from this information, the highest selling .org domain name is "Poker.org" at $1 million, where "Poker" means poker in Chinese. Secondly, we have two notable single character domain names, q.org and z.org respectively.

ORG stands for International Generic Top Level Domain and its abbreviation comes from "organisation". As one of the most popular international top-level domains, .ORG enjoys the same status as .COM and .NET, and they were all launched at the same time in 1985. When it was initially set up, the main purpose of .ORG was to serve organisations that were not part of the other five gTLDs, including non-profit organisations and international organisations, among others.

And in addition to .org domains, there are of course the top 10 .net domains.

NET is a category top-level domain (ccTLD) which, like .COM and .ORG, belongs to one of the most widely popular generic domain name formats internationally. NET domain names are particularly suitable for all types of network providers.

The first successfully registered domain name in the history of the Internet was nordu.net, which was registered on 1 January 1985, more than two months before the oldest .COM domain name, "symbolics.com" (registered on 15 March 1985) was registered. This marks an important milestone in the history of domain name registration, as .NET domain names played a key role in the early development of the Internet.
