What is a .co domain?
A .co domain is the country code top-level domain for Colombia, which opened it to worldwide registration in 2010 and markets it as shorthand for “company” or “commerce.” .CO Internet, part of GoDaddy Registry, operates it under a concession from the Colombian government. There is no residency requirement, and Google treats .co as a generic extension, so a .co site is not geo-targeted to Colombia.

Why choose a .co domain?
A .co domain works when .com doesn’t. Originally Colombia’s country code, it’s been marketed globally since 2010 as shorthand for “company” or “commerce.” Tech giants use it for branded short links, and startups use it when their ideal .com is taken or costs six figures. The two-letter extension is memorable, professional, and recognized worldwide.
Best for:
- Startup credibility - Widely adopted by funded companies and recognized by investors
- Short and memorable - Just two letters after the dot
- .com alternative - Professional fallback when .com is unavailable
- Global recognition - Marketed worldwide as shorthand for company or commerce

FAQ about .co domains
The .co extension is technically the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Colombia. However, since 2010, it’s been marketed globally as an alternative to .com, with the letters suggesting “company,” “corporation,” or “commerce.”
Yes, anyone can register a .co domain. There are no citizenship, residency, or business requirements. Colombia opened .co to global registration in 2010.
The two-letter extension is short, memorable, and suggests “company” or “commerce” in English. Unlike newer gTLDs, .co has been around since 2010 and has proven startup credibility through companies like AngelList and 500 Startups.
For tech-savvy audiences and startup ecosystems, .co has strong credibility. AngelList (angel.co) and 500 Startups (500.co) helped establish it as a legitimate startup domain. For mainstream consumers, .com still has higher default recognition.
.com is the original commercial TLD with 40 years of history and 160+ million registrations. .co is Colombia’s country code, repurposed as a global alternative. The practical difference: .com has more universal recognition, but .co often has better name availability.
Google treats .co as a generic TLD for ranking purposes, not as a Colombia-specific domain. Your .co site won’t be geo-targeted to Colombia unless you configure it that way. Content quality matters far more than the extension.
