About .gp domains

.GP is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in the DNS root zone. It is designated for Guadeloupe. The IANA root zone lists the registry manager as Networking Technologies Group. Registration policies (who may register, local presence, pricing) are set by the registry and its accredited registrars — not by IANA.

.gp is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Guadeloupe. Pricing differs for Guadeloupians compared to other Internet users. Registrations can be made directly at the second level, or at the third level beneath .com.gp, .net.gp, .edu.gp, .asso.gp, or .org.gp. Two digits numbers are accepted for registration. NIC.GP has been a member of LACTLD since August 2019.

Who can register .gp domains?

Eligibility is defined by the registry operator and its registrars. Most gTLDs are open to anyone worldwide. Many ccTLDs are also open globally; some require local presence, citizenship, or trademark rights. Always confirm current policy with the registry or your registrar.
