About the .AG domain
What is the .AG domain?
It is one of the most openly governed ccTLDs in the Caribbean: it requires no local presence, no company registered in the country, no trademark, and no connection of any kind to Antigua and Barbuda. Any name is allowed except those considered offensive or included on a list of terms prohibited by the registry. Antigua and Barbuda is also known for being one of the first countries to develop a regulatory framework for online gambling in the late 1990s, which at the time drove some adoption of .ag in that sector, though today it is used far more broadly and diversely.
