    About .gp domain

    The .gp domain is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) delegated for Guadeloupe. It is operated by the Networking Technologies Group as the registry. The extension was introduced in October 1996. While it is a ccTLD, it is available for registration worldwide, though with different pricing tiers for local residents.

    Who can register .gp domain

    Registrations are open to both individuals and corporate bodies worldwide, with no explicit geographic restrictions. However, the registry offers lower pricing for residents of Guadeloupe compared to other international users. There are no specific verification requirements mentioned for general eligibility, but accurate and complete contact information for the holder and administrative, billing, and technical contacts is mandatory for a valid application.

    How to register .gp domain

    1. Search for availability: Use a domain registrar's search tool to check if your desired .gp name is free, either at the second level (like example.gp) or under a third-level category like .com.gp.
    2. Compare and select: Review the pricing, as costs are typically lower for Guadeloupe residents. Choose your preferred registration term and any additional services like email forwarding offered by the registrar.
    3. Complete registration: Provide complete and accurate contact details for the domain holder and the required administrative, billing, and technical contacts during the checkout process.
    4. Configure and manage: After payment, verify your contact email to activate the domain and proceed to configure your DNS settings, such as nameservers, through your registrar's control panel to point the domain to your website or service.

    Typical uses of .gp domain

    The .gp extension is most commonly used by entities, businesses, and individuals connected with Guadeloupe, serving as a local digital identifier. It sees use for local commerce, tourism services, and community organizations seeking a region-specific online presence. While not as heavily used as some major TLDs, it provides a relevant alternative for targeting audiences within or associated with this overseas department of France.

    Tips for registering .gp domain

    • Registration is available for terms of one year or more, with the domain name length required to be between 3 and 63 characters, subject to legal exceptions.
    • Pricing is tiered, with residents of Guadeloupe typically receiving a lower rate compared to registrants from outside the territory.
    • The registry offers registrations directly at the second level (e.g., name.gp) or at the third level under categories like .com.gp, .net.gp, .edu.gp, .asso.gp, and .org.gp.
    • A domain application can be rejected if the name is on the registry's reserved or prohibited terms list, which is published on the NIC.GP website.

    Who can register a .gp domain?

While there is no strict geographic restriction, the registry implements a dual-pricing model where verified residents of Guadeloupe benefit from lower registration fees. All applicants must provide complete and valid contact information for the domain holder and the administrative, billing, and technical contacts to complete the registration.

    Can I transfer a .gp domain between registrars?

    Transferring a .gp domain between accredited registrars follows standard ICANN transfer procedures, which typically involve obtaining an authorization code from your current registrar and initiating the transfer with the new one. It is important to ensure the domain is not within 60 days of its initial registration or a previous transfer, and that it is unlocked at the current registrar. Contact details must be up-to-date to receive required transfer confirmation emails.

    What are the naming rules and prohibited terms for .gp domains?

    Domain names must be between 3 and 63 characters in length. The registry maintains a list of reserved and prohibited terms, which includes names already registered, names pending registration, and terms that could pose legal liability for the registry. It is advisable to consult the official NIC.GP website for the current list before submitting a registration request to avoid rejection.

    Can I register a .gp domain directly at the second level?

    Yes, you can register a .gp domain directly at the second level (e.g., yourname.gp). Alternatively, the registry also offers registrations at the third level under specific second-level categories such as .com.gp, .net.gp, .org.gp, .edu.gp, and .asso.gp, allowing for a more descriptive or organizational structure if desired.

    What happens if I don't pay my .gp domain renewal fee?

    Failure to pay the renewal fee will lead to the expiration of the domain. After expiration, the domain typically enters a grace period where the original registrant can still renew it, often at the standard rate. If not renewed during this period, the domain may be revoked and eventually become available for public registration again by the registry.
