.CO domains

What is the .CO Domain Extension?

.CO was originally the ccTLD for Colombia but has since been adopted as a specialty domain available to anyone. First launched to general availability in July 2010, this TLD has great success so far with over 600,000 registrations. OpenSRS is one of only 10 accredited registrars able to offer .CO.

.CO domains have been positioned as a great alternative to .COM, as they can be used to represent "commerce", "community", "company", "corporation", "connect" and others. In addition, .CO is a popular choice for URL shortener services because it is one letter shorter than .COM.

Pricing

.CO domains are priced at $25/year for a second-level domain and $13/year for a third-level domain. See prices for all domains.

Why offer .CO?

.CO is a truly global, recognizable and credible web address that gives customers exciting new options in branding their online presence. Because it is still fairly new, there are still lots of great .CO domain names still available to be registered, making it an excellent choice for customers whose desired domains are already registered in the .COM namespace.
