About the .CO domain
What is the .CO domain?
It has no registration restrictions: anyone anywhere in the world can register a .co without special documentation. It is especially popular in Latin America for brands with regional presence, in Colombia for national companies and institutions, and globally for startups looking for a short and memorable name when the desired .com is already taken. Twitter used t.co as its URL shortener for years, giving .co massive international visibility.

Frequently asked questions about the .CO domain
How much does it cost to register a .co domain with miHosting?
Registration costs $25.99/year and annual renewal is the same price. No setup fees or hidden costs. Full management from your client panel.
Is .co only for Colombia or can anyone use it?
The .co is technically Colombia's national domain, but since 2010 it has been available without restrictions to anyone in the world. You do not need to live in Colombia or have any connection to the country to register one. It is exactly the same as .com in terms of accessibility.
Why does Twitter use t.co for its links?
Twitter adopted t.co as its official URL shortener because it is short, clean and creates very compact URLs with just 4 characters (t.co). This decision by Twitter, which generated billions of t.co URLs, was key to giving .co international visibility and legitimacy as a premium extension.
Does .co rank well in Google?
Yes, though with nuances. Google may interpret .co as a Colombian ccTLD and give it a geographic advantage in Colombia. For international searches, .co is treated similarly to other globalized ccTLDs. If your main audience is not in Colombia, you can configure site geotargeting in Google Search Console to neutralize that geographic preference.
What is the difference between .co and .com?
The .com is the global standard extension with over 170 million registrations and universal recognition. The .co is one letter shorter and can be a good alternative when the .com is already taken. It is more expensive than .com but cheaper than many newer extensions. The choice depends on whether the .com of your name is available and what image you want to project.
Can I transfer my .co domain from another provider to miHosting?
Yes. Transferring a .co to miHosting has no additional management cost and takes 5 to 7 days. You need the authorization code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The renewal after transfer includes one additional year.
