Buy .com.gn Domain Name

The Naming Charter contains no nationality or residence requirement; its restrictions attach to the name itself rather than to who the applicant is. Measurement supports this: on 13 August 2026 the name servers behind .com.gn names included foreign providers such as Cloudflare, UltraDNS, DNS Made Easy and SiteGround, so the space is in practical use with infrastructure hosted abroad. Registration runs through accredited registrars.

A name may be 2 to 63 characters long, excluding the extension; the total length may not exceed 255 characters, with a 63-character limit between each dot. Single-character names cannot be registered. A name cannot begin or end with a hyphen. The charter separately forbids names composed of the "." or "/" characters, names composed of accented or special characters, and names beginning with the "xn--" prefix.

No. The Naming Charter closes this with two separate prohibitions: names composed of special characters cannot be registered — the text lists à, á, â, ç, é, ñ, ö, ü and others one by one — and names beginning with the "xn--" prefix are also forbidden, so an indirect registration through punycode is not possible either. Neighbouring Guinea-Bissau opened accented letters on its .gw extension in 2026; the two countries take exactly opposite positions here.

The charter lists them under five headings. Names that are manifestly unlawful or contrary to public order are prohibited, as are names harming competition rules, commerce, good morals or the rights of third parties. The names of the Republic of Guinea, its institutions, public services and local authorities are reserved. Names covered by an intellectual property right, patronymic names and names reflecting a sector carried on in Guinea are reserved too — for these three, a good-faith applicant with a legitimate right or interest is the exception. Internet protocol names and generic terms are set aside for the registry.

The agency's website still says so, but measurement shows another picture. The published document explains that registration is carried out by e-mailing a plain-text form and refers to UUCP hosts and non-IP systems — a procedure from the early days of the internet. In a measurement on 13 August 2026, however, the registry was running on a modern system with accredited registrars, domain identifiers and expiry dates. In practice the registrar route is the one that applies.

No. In five full records retrieved from the registry's server on 13 August 2026, no registrant name, organisation, address or e-mail appeared at all. The response contains only the domain name, registry identifier, creation and expiry dates, registrar details, status codes, name servers and DNSSEC status. Privacy is therefore not sold as a separate service here; the registry simply does not publish registrant data by default.

Yes, and this was measured two different ways. Certificate transparency logs held 523 unexpired certificates covering 200 distinct names under .com.gn. Those names were then queried against the zone's authoritative server and returned genuine delegations: the country's telecom and electricity utilities, international operators and local companies all point at their own DNS providers. A made-up control name returned a clean "not found" answer.

It is not a separate zone. When two authoritative servers were queried on 13 August 2026, SOA, NS and DS queries for com.gn all returned an empty answer with the .gn record supplied in the authority section, and the same held for net.gn, org.gn, gov.gn and edu.gn. These labels are therefore served inside the .gn zone itself. The parent .gn zone is DNSSEC-signed, but every sampled record appeared unsigned.
