This domain has registration restrictions
Third-level .org.es names are reserved for entities, non-profit institutions and groups with interests in or ties with Spain. Read the full eligibility rules.
What is a .org.es domain?
The .org.es extension is the organisational subdomain within Spain's .es namespace, managed by Red.es. It's designed for non-profit organisations, associations, and community groups operating in Spain. With over 40 million internet users, Spain is one of Europe's largest online markets. A .org.es domain tells Spanish internet users that your organisation has a civic or community mission rather than a commercial one.
Who should register .org.es?
Spanish non-profits, cultural associations, community organisations, and charities anywhere with interests or ties in Spain.
Why choose .org.es?
- Organisational identity within Spain's .es namespace
- Managed by Red.es (Spain's registry)
- Separates non-profits from commercial .es domains
- For organisations with interests or ties in Spain

What Spain's domain plan really says about .org.es
Spain's National Domain Plan is specific about who may hold a .org.es. Section Ten reserves the extension for entities, non-profit making institutions and groups, incorporated or otherwise, with interests in or ties with Spain. That is narrower than the rule for .com.es, and it is set by ministerial order rather than by the registry.
Then comes the part buyers rarely hear. Red.es verifies .gob.es and .edu.es applications before assigning them. It assigns .com.es, .nom.es and .org.es without prior verification, checking only the syntax rules and the prohibited-terms list. A trading company can register an .org.es this afternoon and nothing will stop it at the point of order. What Red.es keeps is the power to cancel afterwards, and its published cancellation grounds cover holders with no interests or links to Spain, and registrations containing false or incorrect information.
The ties test itself reads broadly: being based or resident in Spain, aiming your services wholly or partly at the Spanish market, or offering something culturally, historically or socially linked to Spain. A UK charity with real Spanish programmes clears it comfortably. A UK charity with none does not, and should think again.
Who is allowed to register .org.es?
Third-level .org.es names are reserved for entities, non-profit institutions and groups with interests in or ties with Spain.
- Who qualifies
- The National Domain Plan limits .org.es to entities, non-profit making institutions and groups, whether incorporated or not, that have interests in or ties with Spain. Individuals are pointed at .nom.es and ordinary businesses at .com.es.
- Defining a Spanish tie
- Red.es reads the test widely. Being based, resident or registered in Spain qualifies, and so does aiming your services wholly or partly at the Spanish market, or offering information, products or services culturally, historically or socially linked to Spain.
- Nothing is checked upfront
- Only .gob.es and .edu.es are verified before assignment. An .org.es is assigned without prior verification apart from the syntax rules and the list of prohibited terms, so a refused order is rare.
- If you do not qualify
- Red.es publishes cancellation grounds that include holders with no interests or links to Spain, and registration records containing false or incorrect information. A cancellation takes the name away rather than refunding it, so treat the ties test as a condition you keep meeting.

Not sure whether you qualify? Ask us before you order and we will check the registry rules with you. We would rather answer the question than take an order the registry will refuse.
Is .org.es the right choice for you?
We would rather sell you the right extension once than the wrong one twice.
.org.es works well if
- You are an association, foundation or charity with real activity in Spain and you want the non-commercial signal a Spanish reader takes instantly.
- You already run a .es for the trading side of the organisation and want a separate address for the charitable arm.
- You want a Spanish web address that will not be mistaken for a shop, which is what a bare .es or a .com.es suggests.
Look elsewhere if
- You have no Spanish activity at all. The eligibility rule turns on ties with Spain, and Red.es can cancel a registration on exactly that ground.
- You are a trading company. The plan points businesses at .com.es, and an .org.es on a commercial site reads as a mismatch to Spanish visitors.
- Price matters to you. Compare the plain .es on this site first: the second-level version is the cheaper of the two and carries the same country signal.
Just want a Spanish address for a business? The plain .es carries the same country signal for less. See .es pricing.
.org.es vs .es: which should you register?
These two are not really alternatives, more different shelves in the same shop. Both sit under the National Domain Plan, both need interests in or ties with Spain, and both are assigned in the order applications arrive. What differs is the claim the label makes about you.
An .es says nothing about your legal form, which is why it suits almost everybody. An .org.es makes a specific claim: not for profit, member owned, civic. If that claim is true it is worth something to a Spanish reader, because the distinction still means something there. If it is not true, you have paid more for a label that works against you. There is one technical difference worth knowing too: a second-level .es needs at least three characters, while a third-level name under .org.es can be as short as two.
.org.es domain questions, answered
What people ask us before registering a .org.es domain.
Can't find what you're looking for?
Ask us directlyYes, if it has interests in or ties with Spain. Red.es reads that test widely, covering organisations aiming their services wholly or partly at the Spanish market as well as those based or registered in Spain, so a UK charity running Spanish programmes qualifies. A UK charity with no Spanish activity does not, and the absence of ties is one of the published grounds on which Red.es will cancel a domain. Register it in the name of the organisation rather than an individual trustee.
No. Under the National Domain Plan only .gob.es and .edu.es are verified before assignment. Third-level .com.es, .nom.es and .org.es names are assigned without prior verification, subject only to the syntax rules and the prohibited-terms list. That makes registration quick, and it also means holding a .org.es is not proof that anybody agreed you were eligible. The check, when it comes, is a cancellation request after the fact.
The domain is deactivated on the renewal date. Red.es then allows five days for the renewal payment and a further five to settle it, and ten days after expiry an unpaid domain is de-registered and returns to the available pool. That window is short by international standards, where thirty-day redemption periods are normal. Put the date in a calendar and keep the billing contact address working, because the website and email stop the moment it deactivates.
