Frequently Asked Questions about .CO Domains
What is a .CO domain?
.CO is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Colombia, but it has been successfully marketed as a global domain and is widely used as a short alternative to .COM. Major companies like Twitter (t.co) and Google (g.co) use .CO for short URLs and brand campaigns. It is recognized worldwide as a legitimate, professional domain extension.
Who can register a .CO domain?
Anyone in the world can register a .CO domain — there are no residency or citizenship requirements. Unlike some ccTLDs, .CO is completely open for global registration. Individuals, startups, businesses, and organizations from any country can register a .CO domain through Hostao.
Why do startups prefer .CO over .COM?
Many great .COM names are already taken, forcing startups into awkward alternatives. .CO offers a clean, credible, and memorable alternative. It signals that a company is tech-savvy, modern, and forward-thinking. Thousands of successful startups have launched on .CO and gone on to raise funding and scale globally.
Is a .CO domain good for SEO?
Yes. Google treats .CO as a generic TLD (gTLD) globally, not just for Colombia. This means a .CO domain can rank in search results worldwide without any geographic restrictions. Your .CO domain will perform just like a .COM or .NET for international SEO purposes.
Can I transfer my existing .CO domain to Hostao?
Yes, transferring your .CO domain to Hostao is simple and straightforward. The process typically takes 5–7 days. During the transfer, your website and email remain fully operational with zero downtime. Our support team is available 24/7 to assist with the transfer process.
How much does a .CO domain cost at Hostao?
Hostao offers .CO domain registration at $30/year. This includes free DNS management, WHOIS privacy protection, and 24/7 expert support. Renewal pricing is the same as registration — no bait-and-switch pricing. You can register for multiple years upfront to lock in the rate.
