Registration and Management

.co domains can be registered, transferred, or connected to your website. While originally tied to Colombia, these domains are now popular globally for commercial and business use.

Special Requirements

.co domains follow unique guidelines compared to other TLDs. Always check the specific TLD registry policies before registration, as requirements may vary by registrar.

Expiration Policies

Different registrars handle expired .co domains differently:

• Tucows:

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

• Key-Systems:

  • Approximately 30-day renewal window after expiration
  • Renewal only available while domain appears on account dashboard
  • Contact support to check domain reactivation eligibility

Important Considerations

• Pricing varies; check current rates through domain search
• Different rules apply when connecting third-party .co domains
• Follow specific registrar guidelines for maintenance and renewal
• Choose .co domains when seeking a professional, commercial web presence

Remember to monitor expiration dates and maintain active registration to avoid domain loss. For specific pricing, use the domain name search function of your preferred registrar.
