Ouch!

Anyway, remember you can transfer it to another domain registrar usually whenever you want - though you will have to register it for another year, so, if for example you moved it tomorrow, you would then have to pay their fee for a years registration, but that would renew your domain for another year, so you would have it for 3 years (if that makes sense) - but bear in mind some companies may charge you to move it away from them

There has been some discussion about this here

Re: Domain Names : Org
 
They don't seem to care - I've seen companies on .org

The way it was SUPPOSED to work:
.COM - Companies/Commercial
.ORG - Organizations - at one point, implicitly nonprofit
.NET - Specifically related to Internet provision/support/service etc.

I believve there are more rules applied to some domains, like ".BIZ" and a few others.

There have also been some breakups, like the ghastly "New.net" (spyware) and others that offer additional TLDs.
http://www.opennic.unrated.net/
http://www.open-rsc.org/

Because ICANN, the "offical" administration have shown themselves to be dithering and incompetent, many alternative TLD's have sprung up - in many cases, they do make some effort not to duplicate ... logic would have dictated a straight alphabetical split, into as many or as few groups as would faciltate management. It's time the old order shaped up or shipped out!
