Once the domain is registered

All South Georgian domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for South Georgian domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another South Georgian domain name registrar.

Background

The ccTLD ".gs" has been assigned to South Georgia and the S! outh Sandwich Islands.

Registrations are possible directly under .gs, at the second level and there are no requirements for a local presence. Registrations are open to anyone on a first-come first-served basis.

The .gs domain is managed by "Atlantis North Ltd.", a member of "CoCCA" ("Council of Country Code Administrators").

.gs domains can be applied for by individuals or companies/organisations. If an individual is applying for a domain name, they must be at least 18 years old.

The registry state that they must be informed immediately if any legal action is either threatened or is instigated in relation to the use of a .gs domain name.

In registering a domain name under .gs, the registrant agrees to use the .gs Domain name in good faith, and in accordance with the laws of applicable United Kingdom legislation or LTD policy, international law, and applicable state laws and regulations, and will not use the .gs Domain name in any way which may violate a subsisting right of "Atlantis North Ltd." (the .gs registry) or any third party.

Registering mis-spellings of well known trademarks, brand names or company names with a view to gaining traffic from visitors to the correctly spelt names is strictly forbidden by the registy. For example, you can not register "milennium-motorvehicles.gs" in order to gain traffic from people visiting the correctly spelt "millennium-motorvehicles.gs".

Registering .gs domain names in order to sell them to owners of intellectual property is also forbidden, such as registering a domain name which matches a well known trademark or company/trading name.

You can not feature, or link to, any indecent, obscene, or pornographic material at/from a .gs domain name, nor link to or feature information on how to prepare and/or use illegal drugs, commit crime or acts of violence.

If a .gs domain name is used for "cracking " or "hacking ", or any related activities such as (but not limited to):

  • port scans
  • ping floods
  • packet spoofing
  • forged routing information
  • deliberate attempts to overload a service, and attempts to "crash" host
this is considered a breach of the registration agreement(s) and the domain name will be suspended or cancelled with no refunds being given.

If a .gs domain name is used to sell goods or services, the registry state:

A User using a .gs Domain to sell goods or services over the Internet must provide clear links with sufficient and accurate contact details on such website so that consumers have the ability to contact the seller of such goods or services, and so that customers and prospective customers are clearly advised of any territorial limitations on the offer, sale or provision of any goods or services offered, sold or provided, and of any applicable laws, jurisdiction or CoCCA recommendations. In the event that it is credibly alleged that a .gs Domain name registrant has not followed such laws, ANL will furnish the contact details for the registrant in accordance with the ANL Privacy Policy.

The registry also forbid users of a .gs domain name from sending spam, phishing emails or any fraudulent "Make Money Fast" or "Pyramid Selling" schemes.
