.ga Domain
.ga is the ccTLD of Gabon, registered with IANA on December 12, 1994. Between 2013 and 2023 it was offered for free through Freenom, accumulating over 7 million registrations, many used for spam and phishing; after Freenom's collapse, ANINF resumed direct management in June 2023 and purged nearly all unrenewed domains.

About the .GA domain
What is the .GA domain?
Freenom's free service stopped working in mid-January 2023, amid technical failures and legal pressure, including lawsuits from Meta over facilitating phishing through these free extensions. On June 3, 2023, Gabon's Agence Nationale des Infrastructures Numériques et des Fréquences (ANINF) resumed full management of the registry and its national ccTLD, implementing much stricter policies requiring payment and compliance verification. The result was a massive purge: nearly 7 million unrenewed or illegitimate domains were deleted before the June 6, 2024 deadline. Since then, the registry has focused on verified, paid renewals and new issuances, primarily for Gabonese entities or verified international users.
Uses of .GA
Who is the .GA domain for?

Recommended security verification
Given the extension's history of abuse under Freenom, it is worth checking the reputation of any pre-2023 .ga link.
