.gg is the country code top-level domain for the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The domain is administered by Island Networks, who also administer the .je domain for neighbouring territory Jersey.

In 2003, a Google Search website was made available for Guernsey, which still uses the .gg domain.

Usage in video games[]

Multiple video game and esports websites use this domain, because "gg" is a common initialism used in multiplayer video games as an abbreviation for the phrase "good game", usually said at the end of a match.^[1][2] For example, the VoIP application Discord, commonly used with multiplayer games, uses the domain discord.gg as a redirect to their main website, discord.com, as well as for Discord server invite links.

Second-level domains[]

Names have been registered principally directly at second level, however the following legacy sub-domains are still open for registration:

• .co.gg: commercial/personal domains
• .net.gg: Internet service providers and commercial
• .org.gg: organizations (free to local good causes)
