The .co extension, introduced in 1991, is the Internet country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) assigned to Colombia. Despite this, many people do not associate it with the country and consider it similar to the .com extension. Consequently, Google treats .co as a generic top-level domain (gTLD). There are no restrictions, allowing anyone worldwide to register a .co domain.
The .xyz extension launched in 2014 as a fresh, versatile option for individuals and organizations worldwide. As an open TLD, it's been embraced by startups, tech innovators, artists, and everyday users looking for a modern and memorable domain.
