About the .DO domain
What is the .DO domain?
Anyone or any company in the world can register a .do domain, with no specific residency or local presence requirements in the country. The only genuine restrictions fall on the .gob.do, .gov.do, and .mil.do subdomains, which can only be delegated to military and government institutions of the Dominican Republic, with additional documentation requirements at the time of application. NIC.DO also reserves the right to suspend, block, cancel, transfer, or take control of any .do domain when it determines it is being used in a way that risks the stability, integrity, or security of the registry, registrars, or internet users in general.
