Before you buy a .gi name

  • Check the renewal price as well as the first-year price. Our cost calculator shows what a name really costs over time.
  • Make sure you meet the eligibility rules yourself, without relying on a trustee if you can avoid it.
  • Search for trademarks and for the same name in .com.
  • Say the name out loud: will people type it correctly?
