.gl registration
.gl is Greenland’s country-code domain extension. It suits Greenlandic businesses, public-interest projects, local services, cultural initiatives, and international brands that want a clear connection with Greenland. Registration follows a standard process, with available names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .gl name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. No special registration procedure or documentary submission is required. Before ordering, check that the desired label is available and enter the registrant and contact details accurately. A change of holder is handled separately; contact host.yt for guidance when ownership needs to be updated. To transfer an existing .gl domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or other protection at the current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. .gl supports the routine operations needed to manage a domain, including registration, renewal, restoration, contact and owner updates, nameserver changes, DNSSEC records, registrar locking, privacy preferences, forwarding, and DNS zone management. These capabilities make the extension suitable for both independently managed sites and automated domain portfolios using supported API workflows.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .gl extension stand for?
gl is the country-code domain extension assigned to Greenland. It gives a website, service, or organization an immediate geographic association with the territory. It is particularly relevant for Greenlandic audiences, local operations, cultural projects, tourism resources, and brands with a meaningful connection to Greenland.
Who can register a .gl domain?
gl registration is open through the standard registration process, without a special eligibility procedure. Individuals, organizations, and businesses may apply for an available name. Domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an unregistered label can be claimed by the first completed application.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .gl?
No special documents or separate registry procedure are required for a standard .gl registration. The requested label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registrant and contact information should be entered correctly, because later ownership changes are handled through a distinct holder-change process.
Is .gl a good choice, and what projects suit it?
gl is a strong fit for projects focused on Greenland, including local businesses, tourism services, community initiatives, research, culture, public information, and regional campaigns. It can also work for an international organization that wants a dedicated Greenland-facing site rather than placing local content under a generic address.
When does .gl make more sense than .com?
gl makes more sense when a Greenland connection is central to the project and should be visible in the address. .com is better for a broadly international, location-neutral identity and is more familiar worldwide. Choose .gl for geographic relevance; choose .com when global neutrality and recognition matter more.
How quickly is a .gl domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration follows the normal order process and available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Activation timing depends on successful processing of the request. The applicable registration term and expiry date are confirmed with the order; renew the domain before that date to keep it active.
How do I transfer a .gl domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or any other transfer protection at your current provider, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order at host.yt. A .gl transfer may take several days to complete, and successful completion adds one year to the current expiry date.
