About the .PG domain
What is the .PG domain?
Every applicant must demonstrate genuine local presence or interests in Papua New Guinea: registration is not granted if the operation is run purely from abroad with no local interest at all, although the organization's DNS servers can be hosted outside the country. To register specifically under .com.pg, the registrant needs a company formally incorporated in Papua New Guinea, providing a certificate of incorporation, with the domain name matching the company name exactly, a local representative, and a cap of one domain per company. Registration is not available through an automated online system: the process requires additional documentation and manual review, assigned strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
