.gg domain availability checker
Type a name to see whether its .gg is registered, asked live of the .gg registry in Guernsey. If it is taken, the same name is checked in 17 other extensions below it. A free .gg costs $51.80 a year at Porkbun, first year and renewal alike, with no promotion to expire.
Free, no sign-in. Free names show the price and a Register button; checkout confirms the name with the registrar again before you pay. Every extension at once: domain availability checker; mixed extensions in one list: bulk domain checker.

.gg availability questions
Why do gaming sites use .gg?
.gg is Guernsey's country code, and gg is gaming chat for good game. discord.gg (Discord's invite links), op.gg and top.gg, all taken on 4 November 2026, made it the extension for games, streamers, clans and esports teams.
Can I register a .gg if I don't live in Guernsey?
Yes. There is no residency or local-presence rule. Island Networks runs .gg from Guernsey, along with Jersey's .je, and sells through registrars worldwide.
Why is .gg $51.80 every year?
That is the registry's standard price passed on with no first-year discount: $51.80 at Porkbun both to register and to renew on 24 October 2026, $259 over five years. Dynadot does not quote .gg, so Porkbun is the only standard price here.
How is a .gg name checked here?
IANA lists no RDAP server for .gg, so this checker asks the registry's WHOIS server and, if that does not answer, the DNS, where a name delegated in the .gg zone is registered. A No answer row means neither replied in time; check again in a minute.
