| Description | .CO Domain Registry |
.CO is the web address that gives you a truly global, recognizable and credible option for branding your online presence.
As of July 20th, 2010, the .CO domain became available for registration through most of the worlds largest and well recognized domain name registrars. Companies, organizations, and entrepreneurs around the world such as Twitter, AngelList, Amazon, and e-commerce giant Overstock have embraced the .CO domain for their online branding needs.
The .CO top-level-domain is originally the country code extension assigned to the Republic of Colombia by ICANN, the organization responsible for assigning domain name extensions around the world. As is common with certain country-code extensions that have broad global appeal such as .TV (Tuvalu) and .ME (Montenegro), Colombia made the bold decision to share this resource with the global internet community by adapting the registration policies for .CO to industry standards and enlisting an international joint-venture - .CO Internet SAS - to manage the marketing and operational aspects of this domain extension.
Serial entrepreneur Juan Diego Calle is the founder and CEO of .CO Internet. Under Juan’s leadership, .CO has quickly become one of the most successful domain registries in history, with over 1,000,000 domain names registered by people and companies in 200 countries worldwide. Prior to launching .CO Internet, Juan had 10 years of experience managing successful Internet companies. In 2000, he co-founded TeRespondo.com, the largest online search advertising network in Latin America. The company operated in USA, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, prior to being acquired by Yahoo, Inc. in 2005.
