The .gf domain extension stands for French Guiana. This territory, situated on the north-eastern coast of South America, is an overseas region of France and therefore part of the European Union; its official currency is the euro. The European Space Centre, from which Ariane rockets are launched, is based here in Kourou.

The extension is primarily used by local businesses, organisations and tourism service providers, but anyone is free to register it. It is a rare extension, so the majority of sought-after names are still available.

New domain registration

Registrations for .gf domains are processed by the registry, so registration may take 1–7 days following the order.

Domain transfer

To transfer a .gf domain, you will need to request a change to the domain’s contact details from your current registrar – or, if you manage the domain yourself, directly from the registry. We will send you the necessary details during the order processing stage.

Anyone can register a .gf domain name, regardless of nationality or place of business, and without any particular restrictions. Domain names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Whois privacy

The WHOIS privacy service is not available for this extension. The registry’s rules determine which of the owner’s details are displayed in the public WHOIS database.
