.gw registration
.gw is the country-code domain extension for Guinea-Bissau. It is intended for organizations and trademark holders with a legitimate connection to the name they want to register. The requested label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. Registration involves a registry review. If the domain matches a company’s legal name, the applicant must provide the company name and registration number. When the domain corresponds to a trademark, the trademark name and registration number are required, together with supporting documentation where requested. A company whose chosen domain exactly matches its legal name generally does not need to submit additional proof of legitimacy. Other applications may require a document supporting the right to use the requested name, such as evidence of a registered trademark. Supplying accurate holder information helps avoid delays during verification. To transfer an existing .gw domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at the current registrar and obtain the authorization code. The transfer can take several days, but it does not change the domain’s existing expiration date. Holder changes are handled through a separate procedure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .gw extension stand for?
gw is the country-code domain extension assigned to Guinea-Bissau. It gives websites, services, and organizations a clear association with the country. Registration also requires a legitimate connection between the requested domain and the applicant’s legal entity name, trademark, or other supporting right.
Who can register a .gw domain?
Companies may apply for a .gw domain that matches their legal entity name, while trademark holders may apply for a name corresponding to their registered mark. Applicants must provide the relevant company or trademark details so the registry can verify their basis for registration.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .gw?
Yes. The registry may request evidence showing that the applicant has a legitimate right to the chosen name. A matching company name requires the legal entity name and registration number. A trademark-based application requires the trademark name and number, with supporting documentation when requested.
Is .gw a good choice, and what projects suit it?
gw is a practical choice for businesses, institutions, brands, and services with a genuine connection to Guinea-Bissau. It is particularly suitable when the domain matches an organization’s legal name or protected trademark and the applicant can provide the required verification details.
When does .gw make more sense than .com?
gw makes more sense when a project primarily serves Guinea-Bissau or needs a clear national identity. .com offers broader international familiarity and fewer geographic signals, while .gw communicates a specific country connection but requires applicants to substantiate their right to the requested name.
How long does .gw registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration begins after the registry receives and accepts the required applicant details and supporting evidence. Because verification may be necessary, processing time can vary. The active term follows the period selected for the accepted order, and renewal is required before the recorded expiration date.
How do I transfer a .gw domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order at host.yt. Processing may take several days, and the transfer itself does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.
