The .co domain is Colombia's country code top-level domain (ccTLD), commonly used for business and professional websites worldwide. While primarily associated with Colombia, it has gained popularity as a shorter alternative to .com domains.

Registration and management of .co domains follows specific guidelines and requirements:

Expiration and Renewal

For Tucows-registered domains:

  • 30-day redemption period after expiration
  • Must contact Tucows directly for renewal
  • Cannot be renewed through other registrars

For Key-Systems domains:

  • Approximately 30-day renewal window after expiration
  • Renewal available through account dashboard
  • Contact support if domain needs reactivation after expiration

Important Features

  • Available for international registration
  • No local presence requirements
  • Suitable for business and professional websites
  • Functions as a global TLD despite being a country code
  • Standard registration and transfer processes apply

Registration Requirements

  • Follow standard domain registration procedures
  • Comply with TLD registry policies
  • Must be available for registration
  • Standard pricing varies by registrar

For domain availability and current pricing, use your registrar's domain search tools. While .co domains can be registered, transferred, or connected to various hosting platforms, specific requirements may vary by registrar.

Always verify the specific policies and pricing with your chosen domain registrar before registration or transfer.
