Quick answer
Can I register a .co domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .co domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .co costs $33.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .co in a company's name?
A .co is a short alternative to .com for startups and companies, and the country code of Colombia. It works well for a company name that is taken in .com, or for a short brand. Many owners register it alongside a .com and point both to one site. In our name, neither record shows the founder.
What the .co registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .co domain |
|---|---|
| Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies (MinTIC) | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .co registry ask of a holder?
Colombia's Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies (MinTIC) is the registry. The .co registry explicitly permits privacy and proxy registrations. Nominee registration is therefore fully in line with its rules. There is no residence condition. Availability of a .co name is confirmed when you order, not by an instant check.
What should you check before registering .co?
- Five-year cap: a .co can be registered or renewed for at most 5 years at a time, against 10 for .com.
- Typos: .co is one letter away from .com. If your visitors may mistype, register both.
- Hand-back: anyone may hold a .co, so taking it back in your own name is simple.
- Pairing with .com: if you hold both, register them in the same account so renewals line up. Each record names our company.

Frequently asked questions
Does the .co registry allow proxy registration?
Yes. The .co registry states on its support site that proxy registrations, sometimes called domain privacy, are permitted. A NomineeName registration goes one step further: our company is the registrant of record, so the registry holds the company's details instead of yours.
How long can I register a .co for?
From 1 to 5 years per order. Five years is the maximum the registry allows, for new names and renewals. Renew from your crypto balance before the end of the term, or keep enough balance for auto-renew.
Is .co only for Colombian companies?
No. .co is the country code of Colombia, but the registry sets no residence condition and markets it worldwide as a short name for companies. Registered in our name, the record holds our company. Its availability is confirmed when you order.
Who owns a .co domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .co name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .co domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
