.com.gl Domain: Greenland's Commercial Third Level
.com.gl is one of the third-level zones the Greenlandic registry runs itself under .gl. The rules are shared with .gl: the same registration text, the same terms and the same character rules. The names are served from the same authoritative servers as .gl, and DNSSEC is supported. Registration is open to everyone; no company, address or representative in Greenland is required.
Generic words may still be available in this zone: on 13 August 2026 the candidates mail, test, music and money, queried against the registry's WHOIS, were all available. An expired name does not automatically become free; only a "not registered" answer from the registry shows that a name can be registered. Check your candidate on the domain search page.

.com.gl Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .com.gl the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.gl, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .com.gl address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Redemption Period (Redemption Period)
The domain is not released the moment it expires — during this window it is still yours and can be recovered. Some extensions charge an extra restore fee at this stage, so renewing before expiry is always the cheaper route.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.gl Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Yes. The zone follows the same rule text as .gl, and that text sets no residence, company or representative requirement in Greenland; registration is open to everyone, individuals included. The country you apply from does not matter; you can check whether a name is free on the domain search page.
-
On 13 August 2026 the candidates mail, test, music and money, queried against the registry's WHOIS, were all four available for registration, so generic words may still be free in this zone. Occupancy can change at any time, so check your candidate on the domain search page. A name that looks expired does not become free automatically; only a "not registered" answer shows that it can be taken.
-
The difference lies in the name structure, not in the rules. In .gl the name sits directly under the extension (name.gl), in .com.gl it is a third-level name (name.com.gl). Both are in the same registry and follow the same rule text, the same term regime and the same character rules, and DNSSEC is supported in both. For short generic words you can see which level is open on the domain search page.
-
The dispute rules are set out in the terms and dispute policy that the registry publishes on its own site (nic.gl), and they are shared with .gl. Screening a name for trademark conflicts in advance, and keeping your registration records, therefore matters. If a dispute arises you can open a support ticket and let us know.
-
The registration term is 1 - 2 years. After expiry a deleted name has a 30-day redemption window, and a 24-hour grace period also applies. The registry adds a caution: a name that looks expired does not become free automatically — it can only be taken once a lookup returns "not registered". The registry currently charges no fee for transfers, which run on an auth code.
