About the .GMO domain
What is the .GMO domain?
This extension is intended exclusively for companies within GMO Internet Group, with no individual or company outside the group able to acquire a .gmo domain. An especially strict quirk of this registration policy: not even directors, employees, or contracted staff of the group's companies can register a .gmo domain on an individual basis, since ownership is limited exclusively to the corporate entities themselves. The extension's purpose is to strengthen the group's brand identity and facilitate more coherent communication within its network of companies.
.gmo is reserved exclusively for companies within GMO Internet Group, a Japanese internet services provider comprising 84 companies and more than 2,300 employees across 8 countries. The restriction is especially strict: not even directors, employees, or contracted staff of these companies can register a .gmo domain on an individual basis, since registration is limited exclusively to the corporate entities themselves. Contact our team if you need guidance on alternatives for your project.
