Register domain name .gg

.gg
Domain zone .gg is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Guernsey. The ccTLD is managed by Island Networks Ltd., which operates the Channel Islands registry services for .gg (and .je).

What is .gg domain?
A .gg domain is a short, recognizable ccTLD that can work both for local presence (projects connected with Guernsey and the Channel Islands) and for global branding use-cases. In practice, many people also associate “gg” with the gaming shorthand “good game”, which is why the extension is often chosen for gaming-related projects and communities.

.gg domain peculiar traits
AlexHost can help you register and manage a .gg domain under the rules of the Channel Islands registry. The registry operates on a first-come, first-served basis, but still reserves the right to refuse or cancel registrations under its terms (for example, if a domain is used in a way that could harm the reputation of the Channel Islands).
Another important point: the registry places a strong emphasis on accurate registrant data and may suspend/cancel domains if registration information is materially inaccurate and not corrected after notice.

.gg domain usage advantages
Registering a .gg domain can be useful if you want:

• A short, memorable domain ending (often chosen for brandability).

• A ccTLD identity connected with Guernsey / Channel Islands context.

• A domain that fits gaming/esports/streaming communities due to “gg” being widely understood as “good game”.

• Straightforward renewal terms: the minimum registration/renewal period is one year under the registry agreement.

.gg zone domain name registration: procedure’s technical sides
Registering a .gg domain typically involves choosing a free name, assigning DNS (name servers), and keeping registrant data accurate. If you register directly with the registry, it’s a “bare-bones” option: it does not include DNS hosting or email services — you’ll need your own authoritative DNS or a hosting provider that offers it.

Key technical constraints are based on DNS standards: each DNS label is limited to 63 octets, and the full domain name is limited to 255 octets.
(Your registrar interface will normally enforce practical rules for characters/format.)

.gg zone domain registrar: why is it recommended to buy .gg zone domain?
Using a registrar (such as AlexHost) is usually more convenient than direct registry registration because you can handle billing, DNS, renewals, and support in one place.
Also, the registry requires that registrars be able to identify registrants upon request (anti-abuse and compliance reasons), so working through a reliable registrar helps keep your domain in good standing.
Disputes over domain rights can be handled via the registry’s dispute procedures described in the registration agreement.

How much is .gg domain per year?
The cost of a .gg domain depends on the registrar’s pricing, currency, and included services (DNS, privacy options, support level, bundles with hosting, etc.). The registry agreement requires at least one year paid in advance for the name resolution service.

What is required for .gg domain?
To register a .gg domain you’ll need to provide correct registrant information and keep it up to date. The registry terms require that the data is accurate at the time of registration and that changes are reported promptly (the agreement specifies an update expectation within 7 days).

What sites suit .gg zone domain?
A .gg domain is often chosen for:

• Gaming communities, esports teams, streamers, game servers, fan projects (brand fit with “gg”).

• Local projects connected with Guernsey/Channel Islands (businesses, services, local initiatives).

• Short-link style use cases (campaign pages, community invites, landing pages), where a short domain ending matters (as a branding choice).

Who is permitted to register .gg domain?
In general, .gg registrations are described by major providers as open and accessible without requiring proof of a direct link to the island, while still being governed by the Channel Islands registry terms (rights to use the name, data accuracy, acceptable use, payment, etc.).
