Buy .com.ag Domain Name

No. The registry rules state that .ag, .com.ag, .net.ag and .org.ag are open to any and all registrants worldwide. No company, address or local representative in Antigua and Barbuda is required, and no documents are requested at registration. A local requirement applies only to two namespaces outside this scope: .edu.ag is limited to local educational institutions and .gov.ag to government bodies, and those applications may require proof of identity and constitution.

They are separate pools and you can hold the same name in both. The second-level .ag is shorter and the busiest namespace in the family; .com.ag carries commercial intent in the address itself and is the busiest third level measured, with 10 of 113 candidate names taken. If the name you want is gone at .ag, there is a good chance it is free at .com.ag. For brand protection, registering both keeps the name in your hands across the family.

Yes. .com.ag is a separately delegated zone with its own DS record in the parent, and measurement returned validating resolver answers with the authenticated data flag set. The same holds for .ag, .co.ag and .org.ag — all four zones in the family are signed. In practice this means DNS answers for your domain can be verified as unmodified in transit; you enable signing from your provider's control panel.

The rules set out the same framework in four separate clauses: a registration is made for an initial period of at least one year and should be renewed at least annually; a name may initially be registered for one to ten years; renewals run over the same range; and the total registration period cannot exceed ten years. There is no limit on how many names a single person or entity may register. The nine-year renewal cap that applies to the sibling extension .lc does not apply here.

The registry is EPP based and the transfer follows the standard flow: unlock the name at your current provider, obtain the authorisation code, then submit the request at the gaining provider. The rules explicitly allow domain names to be re-sold and contain no clause restricting transfers. The third-party registrar channel demonstrably works: a name under .com.ag was measured as held through Porkbun. You can start the process from the domain transfer page.

Partly, and by default. In responses from whois.nic.ag the personal fields — name, street, city, postal code, phone and e-mail — come back marked REDACTED, while organisation name, country and state remain public. So under a company registration your company name stays visible. Privacy here is not sold as an add-on; it is applied at registry level. You can run a lookup from our WHOIS search page.
