.co
Colombia's ccTLD repositioned as a global startup TLD.
.co was opened to global registrations in 2010 and quickly positioned as a 'shorter than .com, sounds like company' alternative. It still trades at a meaningful premium over .com but well below .io or .ai.
The colour reading is closer to 'startup' than 'developer' — Angel.co, About.me-style B2C brands, and one-page launches. For B2B technical audiences .io or .dev signals fit better; for consumer brands and quick startups .co works.
Best for
shorter alternative when the .com is taken, startup brands.
Renewal price across registrars $25–$35 per year. First-year promotional pricing may differ.
