About the .VG domain
What is the .VG domain?
Registration imposes no additional requirements: the applicant does not need to be a resident or have physical presence in the British Virgin Islands, there is no need to incorporate a local company in the territory, nor to designate a local contact. This complete openness, combined with second-level registration availability, has made .vg an internationally popular extension beyond its geographic connection, used in gaming projects and tech blogs as well as, in the past, by piracy-related sites such as The Pirate Bay, in addition to its common use in link shorteners and brand domain hacks. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters and do not support internationalized domain names (IDN).
