    About .globo domain

    .globo is a brand gTLD operated by NIC.br on behalf of the registry operator Grupo Globo. It was delegated to the root zone in May 2014 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. The extension was established specifically as a closed registry to serve the brand's online presence. Its purpose as a domain product is to provide a dedicated and secure namespace for the registry operator's exclusive use.

    Who can register .globo domain

    Registration of .globo domains is strictly restricted. Only entities that are part of or formally authorized by Grupo Globo (Organizações Globo) are eligible to register domains. Private individuals are not permitted to register a .globo domain. Any exception to this closed model is studied individually and decided solely by the registry operator.

    How to register .globo domain

    This TLD is not issued through commercial registrars. It operates under a closed registry model managed by Grupo Globo. Domain allocation is an internal process, where eligible entities within the organization request domains. The registry operator delegates domains at its discretion, and internal registrations do not incur an economic cost. The registry reserves the right to revoke usage rights for policy infringement.

    Typical uses of .globo domain

    The .globo extension is used exclusively by Grupo Globo and its affiliated companies to consolidate its digital presence. It serves as a dedicated "house on the Internet" for content from its media channels, such as TV Globo and Globo.com, as well as its film, publishing, and radio divisions. The primary use is to authenticate content origin, avoid cybersquatting, and provide a unified, trusted namespace for its entertainment and journalism outputs. Users choose it to signify official affiliation with the media conglomerate.

    Can I transfer a .globo domain between registrars?

Any delegation or reassignment of a domain within the namespace is managed internally by the registry operator, Grupo Globo, according to its own policies.

    Can a trademark holder outside Grupo Globo register a .globo domain?

    No, trademark ownership does not confer a right to register a .globo domain. The namespace is exclusively for the registry operator's use. The application explicitly states private individuals are not allowed to register, and any exception is solely at the discretion of Grupo Globo, not based on external trademark rights.

    What happens if a .globo domain violates content policy?

    The registry operator, Grupo Globo, reserves the right to revoke the usage rights of a domain immediately if it infringes policy, regardless of the expiration date. The internal company or department holding the domain bears full responsibility for its content, and revocation can also occur following a legal or judicial decision.

    Are there any sunrise or trademark protection periods for .globo?

    No. Standard sunrise periods for trademark holders are not applicable to .globo because it is a closed brand TLD not open to public registration. The registry's primary mechanism to prevent cybersquatting is its restrictive eligibility model, keeping control entirely within the organization.
