About the .GI domain
What is the .GI domain?
Registration is notably restrictive: only companies and organizations with genuine establishment in Gibraltar can use a .gi domain, exclusively for their own purposes — use by third parties or resale is not permitted. Each requested domain name is subject to the registry's discretionary approval, which reserves the right to reject any application it deems unsuitable. New second-level registrations directly under .gi are limited to entities able to demonstrate a genuine connection to the territory. The domain name must be between 3 and 63 characters, and registration periods range from 2 to 10 years.
The .gi domain can only be used by companies and organizations registered in Gibraltar, for their own purposes. Each application is subject to registry approval, which may reject names it deems unsuitable. New second-level registrations are limited to entities with a genuine connection to Gibraltar.
