Buy .co.com Domain Name

No, the two have nothing to do with one another. Colombia's .co is that country's official country code extension and is run by its own registry. .co.com, by contrast, is an ordinary registration held in the .com registry; the addresses sold sit one level beneath it, and the namespace is operated by co.com LLC, based in Ohio in the United States. The leading «co» refers to the abbreviation for «company», not to a country code. The practical upshot is that a .co.com address grants you no right, registration or local identity in Colombia. What you get is a short, brandable address that ends in .com.

No. The registry's rules settle eligibility in a single sentence: any business, organisation or individual may register a .co.com name. There is no requirement as to nationality, residence, entry in a commercial register or local address, so a limited company, a sole trader and a private person all apply on identical terms. No documents, agent or trustee are required either. Allocation is purely chronological, and registrations are processed in real time, meaning the name becomes usable the moment your request is accepted. You register through an accredited registrar rather than with the registry directly.

No. The rules list the permitted character set explicitly: only the letters A to Z (case insensitive), the digits 0 to 9, and hyphens. A name may not begin or end with a hyphen, and it may not carry hyphens in the third and fourth character positions. That last clause technically excludes internationalised domain names, because the mandatory «xn--» prefix of the punycode form puts a double hyphen in exactly those positions, and the text cites an «xn--» name as its own example of what is barred. So an address containing accented, Cyrillic, Greek or Chinese characters cannot be registered here. This is where the namespace parts company with some siblings on the same technical platform.

In annual periods of no less than one year and no more than ten. The term clause of the rules states this word for word and requires the period to be specified in the application; the registration runs from the date the registry accepts the request submitted by the accredited registrar. A ceiling rule applies at renewal: if the years you request plus the time remaining add up to more than ten years, the registry rejects the request. Ask for a nine-year renewal with eighteen months still to run, for instance, and the resulting ten years and six months is refused. Expiry reminders are your registrar's duty, not the registry's.

First, know the time lock: a name cannot be transferred to another registrar for sixty calendar days from its registration date, and the same lock restarts after every completed registrar transfer. Once that window passes the process follows the familiar route — you request the authorisation code from your current provider, have the transfer lock lifted, and hand the code to the new one. A change of holder is a separate operation and is not caught by the sixty-day lock. You can also have the transfer carried out together with a renewal. Start on the domain transfer page.

Not for names held at an independent registrar. A real registration in this namespace was queried in August 2026 and the holder's name, organisation, postal address and telephone number were entirely absent; in their place the registry returned nothing but a contact form address. The fields actually published are the name itself, the registrar's details, the creation and expiry dates, the status codes and the name servers. Anyone who wants to reach you therefore does so through that form, and your personal details are not listed openly. You can check your own record on the whois search page.

Because the registry has reserved them. The rules give the registry the right to reserve names at any time, and «reserved names» expressly include «premium names», which sit outside the first-come, first-served process and are allocated instead by request for proposal, auction or sale in a marketplace. Measurement in August 2026 showed how far this reaches: every single-character name and every two-character name tested is registered in the registry's own name and carries a transfer lock. So if the short name you want does not show as free, it has most likely not been deleted at all — it is sitting in that pool.

No, there is a redemption window in between. The rules state that a name may be renewed at any time after registration, before the redemption period begins or while it is running. During redemption the name is removed from the DNS and stops resolving, and modifications, renewals and transfers are all closed off. Recovering it costs a non-refundable restoration fee on top of a renewal of at least one year. If that window closes too, the name passes into a final five calendar day waiting period in which no transaction is possible, after which it is deleted and released to anyone. Put your expiry date in the calendar.
