.vg is the domain extension for the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, which can be freely registered from abroad.
VG is short for ‘video games’, which is why game developers, gaming websites, communities and streamers use it as a domain hack. It is also suitable for companies registered in the islands to indicate their local presence.
