Global Responsibility

As the Administrator of the .CO top-level domain, we both recognize and embrace our responsibility to serve as a trustee for the .CO domain – a unique digital resource with broad, global appeal.  We are committed to managing both the .CO registry, and the domain name system that underpins it, as a steward of both the local and the global Internet communities.

from 120 countries during the 39th ICANN Meeting in Cartagena, Colombia.

Your Domain Names Are Safe
No matter who you are or where you are in the world, when you register a .CO domain name, you can do so with confidence.  We have built the .CO registry on a globally distributed, state-of-the-art platform with the highest standards of stability, security and performance to seamlessly power the resolution of domain names in every corner of the world.

You can rest assured that for every person who types in a .CO domain address, or sends an email to someone with a .CO email, the traffic will be quickly and efficiently routed to the correct place 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. And if a threat should arise that threatens the security of your domain – we will take swift and appropriate action on your behalf.

Your Rights Are Protected
In building the .CO registry, we have followed internationally accepted and well-recognized best practices in trademark and IP policy to ensure that your rights are protected every step of the way.  CO will be launched and managed in a fair, equitable and sustainable way – making .CO domains a great asset to businesses, brand owners and entrepreneurs the world over.

Please see the Open Letter to .CO Registrants from Corporate VP, Eduardo Santoyo, for more information.

Shaping the Future of the Global Internet
As the steward of the .CO domain, we believe it is our responsibility to play an active role in helping to keep the Internet a stable, secure engine for creativity, innovation and economic development across time zones, cultures and geographical boundaries.

You can count on .CO Internet to play a significant role on the international stage by helping to define and develop the policies, standards and practices that govern the global Internet. Through our associations with ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), LACNIC, LACTLD, and other venues, we actively support and promote the security, stability and resiliency of the Internet's naming and addressing system. 

Whether directly, or through one of our trusted partners, like Neustar or Deloitte, we are committed to working collaboratively with national governments, private sector businesses, Internet pioneers, infrastructure operators, policy and business organizations, and thought leaders the world over to help to build and grow an expansive, sustainable, global digital economy.
