Why your business needs a .gy domain
Guyana is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and tens of thousands of new businesses register every year. Customers look you up online before they call, visit or pay. A .gy domain tells them, at a glance, that you are a Guyanese business that is here to stay.
1. Local customers trust .gy
When a customer in Guyana sees yourbusiness.gy, they know they’re dealing with a local business. A generic .com says nothing about where you are or who you serve.
2. Better visibility in Guyana searches
Search engines treat a country-code domain as a strong sign that a website is meant for that country. A site at yourbusiness.gy is a natural fit for people searching from Guyana.
3. Professional email addresses
With a .gy domain you can use addresses like [email protected] instead of a free Gmail or Yahoo address. It looks established on quotes, invoices and tenders. You can set up Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho in one click from your Client Area, or start with free forwarding to the inbox you already use. See the business email guide.
4. Protect your brand
If your business name is known in Guyana, someone else can register the .gy version before you do. Registering it now costs GYD 9,500 (or US$45) a year. Recovering a name later can cost far more, if it’s possible at all.
5. Works with the website you already have, or the one you’re building
Built your site with Lovable, Vercel, Shopify, Squarespace, Netlify or another builder? Connect your .gy domain in one click with our free DNS. Here’s how.

Which .gy extension is right for my business?
- .gy: the shortest and most recognisable. Best for brands.
- .com.gy: a familiar commercial address for businesses of any size.
- .co.gy: another commercial option, useful if your .gy or .com.gy name is taken.
- .net.gy: technology companies and network services.
- .org.gy: non-profits, NGOs and civil society organisations.
Many businesses register their name in more than one extension so nobody else can use it.
