Domain .gu - national domain: Guam

.gu domain information

The .gu domain is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Guam, a U.S. territory in the Western Pacific. Registration is strictly limited to businesses and organizations with a physical presence in Guam. The domain name must exactly match the registered company name and contain at least four characters.

Entities not eligible for direct second-level registration under .gu may register third-level domains such as .com.gu or .net.gu, which are subject to the same local presence requirements. This domain is ideal for institutions looking to establish credibility within Guam’s local online space and signal clear territorial affiliation.
