.co
A .co domain is a country code top-level domain of Colombia, operated by the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies (MinTIC) through its registry website. The extension was introduced in 2010, and the registrar’s own summary describes it as shorthand for company, which is why it appeals to businesses and organisations that want a short, memorable address.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your domain against certain forms of tampering with its DNS records. Domain names can be between 3 and 63 characters long, and internationalised domain names are allowed. Each registration is for a minimum of 1 year, and renewals are added in 1 year increments, so you can set your term to suit your budget.
A .co domain is a good choice when you want a short address that signals a company or business. Before you register, check that the name you want is available, and confirm that the registry’s rules suit the way you plan to use the domain. Registration takes 1 to 3 days to complete.
Registration is open to anyone, and the registry does not require a local presence.
- You can register a .co domain whether or not you live or operate in Colombia.
- Your domain name must be between 3 and 63 characters long.
- Internationalised domain names are allowed, so you can use characters beyond standard Latin letters.
Renew before your expiry date to keep your name without interruption.
- After expiry, there is a grace period of 40 days during which you can still renew your domain.
- Renewals are added in 1 year increments, so you can choose the term that suits you.
- If you do not renew within the grace period, the name is released and may be registered by someone else.
