About .co
The .co domain is the ccTLD for Colombia, but it is globally recognized as a shorter, modern alternative to .com. Its brevity and versatility make it ideal for companies, communities, and collaborations.
History of .co
.co was assigned to Colombia but aggressively marketed internationally starting in 2010. The registry is managed by .CO Internet S.A.S. (now part of Neustar/GoDaddy). Twitter used t.co for URL shortening, which greatly boosted its global recognition.
Who Uses .co?
Used by:
- Startups that can't get their .com
- Brands wanting a short, memorable URL
- Companies (the "co" in company)
- Communities and collectives
