Rated 4.9/5 based on 4,154 reviews.
A short, global extension used as a .com alternative by startups and businesses worldwide.
The .co extension is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Colombia, originally designated by the Colombian government. Since 2010 it has been marketed and used internationally, so today it works like a generic top-level domain, a short and memorable alternative to .com for businesses and individuals worldwide.
Because it is short and easy to remember, .co has become a go-to choice for startups and creative projects looking to make their mark online. Major companies use it for branded short links, with Amazon (a.co) and Google (g.co) among the best-known examples. A .co also lends credibility to a new brand and gives you a distinct online identity that customers and search engines recognise.
Anyone can register a .co domain. There are no restrictions on who can hold one, and domain registration, renewal and transfer work like any other top-level domain (TLD). You provide your contact details to an accredited registrar, and these are recorded with the registry.
Once your name is live you manage DNS and email from your account, and you can add domain privacy to keep your details out of the public WHOIS database. Pair your .co with one of our web hosting plans to build your website, add an SSL certificate and set up professional email.
Register your .co name
All .co domains have the following features:
Add email and forwarding to your .co domain and send from a short, branded address. A web hosting or mailbox plan is needed to create accounts.
Because .co is a global alternative to .com, the short, memorable name you want is more likely to be available. A few sought-after names sell as premium domains. Secure or buy the .co that matches your brand.
There are no restrictions on registering a .co. Search for your name, check out, then manage DNS and email from your control panel once it is live.
Clear pricing on .co registration and renewal, with no hidden fees or lock-in. Turn on auto-renewal so your domain renews before its expiration date.
A .co address reads as a modern, global brand. It is widely used by businesses and startups around the world for commercial sites, so customers and search engines recognise it instantly.
Our UK based support team can help with registration, renewal, transfer, DNS and privacy for your .co domain and the rest of your portfolio.
There's a perfect name for everyone – personal or business bring yours into existence.

Yes. The .co extension is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) originally assigned to Colombia. Since 2010 it has been available worldwide and is widely used as a global alternative to .com, so a .co name is not tied to Colombia in practice.
