.co domains
Relaunched in 2010, the .CO extension achieved a spectacular growth since its launch in only a few months, with over 500,000 registrations, all thanks to his new official registry .CO Internet, S.A.S.. In January 2016, .CO domains reached 2 million registrations.
.CO is the ccTLD (Country code top-level domain) for Colombia, but it's being used also for non-spanish websites, where the extension has been promoted like the new .com, but shorter.
Premium Domains
Some .co domains are premium names with a higher initial registration fee over a standard registration with all subsequent renewals and transfers at a standard rate. All search results will automatically reflect premium names fees.
