Is .net.co restricted?

[mayhemalex]

Let's say for example, email.net.co

Is there anything stopping me from having-

[email protected] as my personal email? Or running my own email service?

Thank you

There are some restrictions for third-level domains like .edu.co and .gov.co, but I think for .com.co and .net.co there are none. Probably best to ask your registrar of choice - if they have it on offer, they will know.

Why disagree with the URL @pb

This page lists "intended uses" which are not in any way enforced.

You’re totally free to use email.net.co like that if you own the domain—no special restrictions.

Well, that's classic marketing speak of GoDaddy.

GoDaddy only lists the extensions that can be registered through them.

I trust we can agree that it's perfectly fine to register a .net.co domain and handle your own email on that domain.

To put it another way. On the .CO Internet website, it clearly states which suffixes are restricted (right pane in the image below). And .net.co is not one of them.

Google Translation of the right pane:

Restricted Applicant Domain

Restricted applicant domains are those with the following endings: .edu.co, .org.co, .gov.co, and mil.co. These domain extensions are restricted because they can only be assigned to entities and/or institutions that meet certain requirements.

The .CO domain management policies assigned by the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications (MinTIC) indicate that, depending on the type of domain being requested, certain documentation must be provided. This information can be found in the Domains > How to register a Restricted Applicant domain? menu.

It is important to note that registration of .org.co, gov.co, .edu.co, and .mil.co requires oversight (document review) by the Operator (.CO Internet).

Please first register the domain at www.registros.cointernet.com.co and then send the corresponding documentation to [email protected], indicating the name of the domain you wish to acquire in the subject of the message.
