What does the .gg domain mean?

It is the country code for Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. Gamers and streamers use it because "gg" means "good game", and Discord's invite links at discord.gg made it widely known.

Who can register a .gg domain?

Anyone. There is no residency rule for Guernsey, though the registry can reserve names and decline applications. You pay for at least one year up front.

How much does a .gg domain cost?

From $51.80 a year at Porkbun to $83.00 at Route 53, and most registrars charge the same price for the first year as for renewals. Over 10 years a .gg costs $518.00 at the cheapest registrar here.

Why are .gg domains so expensive?

The registry sets a high price, £49 a year if you register with it directly, and registrars cannot sell much below it. Demand from gaming brands keeps it there. There is also no at-cost option, since Cloudflare does not sell .gg.

Can you buy a .gg domain on Cloudflare?

Cloudflare does not sell .gg: it is not on Cloudflare Registrar's list of supported extensions, so you cannot register or transfer one there. Porkbun is the cheapest option here at $51.80 a year.

Before You Buy a .gg Domain

Why .gg costs more

.gg is run by Island Networks, a small independent registry in the Channel Islands, which charges £49 a year to register directly. Registrars resell at around that level, from $51.80 at Porkbun, so a .gg costs about five times a .com every year.

Cloudflare doesn't sell it

Cloudflare, usually the cheapest renewal because it sells at cost, does not offer .gg. Over 10 years a .gg costs $518.00 at Porkbun and $830.00 at Route 53.

Check WHOIS privacy

Privacy for .gg depends on the registrar. Dynadot does not allow it for .gg, so your contact details can stay visible there. Check the registrar's .gg page before you buy if that matters to you.

Transfers add a year

Moving a .gg costs from $51.80 at Porkbun, using an auth code from your current registrar. If a registrar will not release a domain, the registry can move it for £10.
