  • Any domain names which, in the opinion of the Committee, may be considered offensive or defamatory are not allowed.

Fulfillment Info

FTLD .com.gi is a Fulfillment TLD. Fullfilment TLDs (FTLDs) are registered through a manual registration process. The manual registration process might involve documents, depending on respective registry regulations, and are therefore not automated for real-time registrations and real-time updates. Updates might cause additional costs!
