Overview & Registration Guidelines

The .GB domain extension is The .gb country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) is reserved for the United Kingdom. Although managed by Jisc, it is almost exclusively bypassed in favor of the standard `.uk` extension. The .gb extension remains inactive for public registrations, serving as a reserved heritage domain. It requires a minimum label length of 2 characters and supports up to 63 characters. It does not support IDN characters, meaning only standard English characters are allowed. Registration is completely open and unrestricted globally to individuals and organizations.

To search for who owns a specific domain registered under this extension, you can perform a live query in our WHOIS portal above. The registry operator database will respond in real time with server details, domain status codes, registration/expiry dates, and name server arrays.
