Edit: The owner of the .org
site writes below that it was a demo project and he’s taking it offline. See https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting)-org-org-not-com/30554/3 — so it was a well intended site then, and my thoughts below were wrong /Edit
There is https://www.communiteq.com which I think people know about already, but there is also http://www.discoursehosting.org. I’m thinking that the latter site, which ends with .org
not .com
, is not a serious hosting provider and perhaps they would steal people’s money? They bought their domain in 2014, more than one year later than .com
, but still opted for the almost same domain name.
No one uses www.discoursehosting.org
right, and you too think it’s a scam? (But many people like www.[Communiteq](https://www.communiteq.com) (formerly DiscourseHosting)
(with com
) I suppose.)
So this is what happens if one doesn’t buy the com
domain name, only buys .org
? I actually once went to .org
and thought “oh they’ve remade their website and now they require people to pay up front, they’ve removed the trial period”. This was before I had become aware about both the org
and com
versions, and I had typed ...org
in the address bar.
Edit: Now I googled for the person who has registered the .org
and seems he’s a real person. I am confused.
