.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.

The registration of .vg domains is an automated process, so registration is virtually instantaneous; you can start using your new domain name within a few minutes of placing your order.
