About the .GT domain

What is the .GT domain?

.gt is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Guatemala, registered with IANA on August 14, 1992, and managed by Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, based in Guatemala City — another case, like .do or .cy, of a ccTLD managed by an academic institution rather than a government body.

Registration is open to individuals and companies from any country in the world, with no residency requirement in Guatemala. Both individuals and companies can register a .gt domain, making it suitable for personal blogs as well as corporate sites. Regulations prohibit offensive names or names matching trademarks registered by third parties, and require the domain to not infringe third-party rights or Guatemalan cultural and social values. Unlike many ccTLDs, .gt supports internationalized domain names (IDN), allowing registration of names with accents and characters specific to Spanish.
