In computing, a system resource, or simply resource, is any physical or virtual component of limited availability within a computer system.

Every device connected to a computer system is a resource.

Every internal system component is a resource.

Virtual system resources include files (concretely file handles), network connections (concretely network sockets), and memory areas.

Managing resources is referred to as resource management, and includes both preventing resource leaks (releasing a resource when a process has finished using it) and dealing with resource contention (when multiple processes wish to access a limited resource).

The domain name org is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) of the Domain Name System (DNS) used in the Internet.

The domain was originally intended for non-profit entities, but this restriction was not enforced and has been removed.

The domain is commonly used by schools, open-source projects, and communities, as well as by for-profit entities.

The number of registered domains in org has increased from fewer than one million in the 1990s, to ten million as of June 2012.
