A domain
for the
world stage.
.CO is a short, memorable extension that fits every sector and niche — whether you're a global brand, a startup, or an individual just getting started.
Originally assigned as the country-code TLD for Colombia, .CO has grown into one of the internet's universal domains. It's a short, sharp extension that keeps the focus on your name.
The Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (MinTIC) of Colombia oversees policy. Day-to-day operations are run by CentralNic Ltd, a subsidiary of Team Internet Group.

Four reasons
it just works.
We won't pretend every TLD is equal. Here's what makes .CO the right call for modern founders, creators and global brands.
Universal from day one
.CO isn't tied to a region — it's the extension entrepreneurs pick when they mean business everywhere. Recognized in 200+ countries.
Trusted by the ambitious
From Y Combinator startups to household brands, .CO signals you're building for scale. Short, sharp, and taken seriously.
Your name is probably still there
While .com is crowded, .CO keeps the good names in play. Grab the word you actually want — not “getyourbrandnow123”.
Fast DNS, rock-solid uptime
Backed by a globally distributed registry infrastructure. DNSSEC by default, anycast everywhere, sub-40ms resolve times worldwide.
