.gg Domain Name Information

How Do I Get a .gg Domain Name?

The .gg extension is the country code top level domain for Guernsey, and this domain is sponsored and administrated by Island Networks. Institutions, individuals and companies that are connected with Guernsey are allowed to register a .gg domain. The process of registering a .gg domain name does not involve many extensive restrictions. No one is prohibited from registering a lawful domain, provided that it is available and not on the list of reserved words. One important caveat is that regional domain names are not allowed.

.gg Domain Name Registration Process

The process of registering domain names is done on a first come first served basis. When an application is accepted, the registrant will have to pay the application fee and one year of Name Resolution fees. The Name Resolution fees are charged annually as long as your domain is active.

The following guidelines can be of help:

  • Domain names with .gg extension can contain between 3 and 63 characters and may consist of the numerical digits 0-9, the alphabetical characters A-Z and the hyphen “-.”
  • There are no regional registration restrictions.
  • The first and last characters of the domain name cannot be hyphens.
  • .gg domain names may be registered by anybody for any lawful purpose.
  • Names relating to persons, places and regions are not allowed.

The registration website is http://www.channelisles.net/ and the whois server is whois.channelisles.net. The applications are processed within two or three days and if accepted, you are updated regarding the registration of your domain. Same day service is available in urgent situations. In case your application is rejected, you are informed of the denial within 24-48 hours. If you would like to change your existing service provider, certain service providing companies can help you by handling the domain transfer procedure along with your .gg registration.
