- Try the exact business, organisation or project name first
- Avoid unnecessary hyphens or difficult spellings

.gy registration steps from search to dashboard
Use these steps to register a domain in Guyana through Revamped GY. Each stage is designed to show the information, pricing and action required before you move forward.
Search for your preferred name
Enter the name without an extension. The search checks availability and pricing across every supported .gy extension.
Choose the best .gy extension
Compare .gy, .co.gy, .com.gy, .net.gy, .org.gy and .edu.gy, then select the available option that best matches the project.
Select one to ten years
Choose the registration period. The complete multi-year total is calculated before you continue to payment.
Enter accurate registrant details
Provide the legal individual or organisation name, contact details and account information for the approved domain holder.
Add or confirm nameservers
Use the nameservers supplied by your host or supported Revamped GY services. They can also be updated later from My Domains.
Review the order and pay
Confirm the domain, years, registrant information, optional services and total, then select a supported payment method.
Registration is submitted
Automatically confirmed payments can submit the domain immediately. Manual or confirmation-based payments are submitted after verification.
Manage the domain from your dashboard
Use My Domains to view registry status, expiry, nameservers, security, renewal controls and supported add-ons.
Step 2: Select the right address
Choose the .gy extension that fits your project
All supported extensions are open for registration. Choose the shortest and clearest available address that customers, partners or visitors can easily recognise.
.gyDirect Guyana identity
A short national address for businesses, brands, organisations, projects and individuals.
.co.gyCompany and commerce
A familiar choice for companies, stores, professional services and commercial activity.
.com.gyCommercial websites
Suitable for businesses, online stores, services and customer-facing commercial platforms.
.net.gyTechnology and networks
Useful for infrastructure, software, connectivity, hosting and technology-related services.
.org.gyOrganisations and groups
A clear fit for associations, non-profits, communities and membership organisations.
.edu.gyEducation projects
Available for schools, training providers, learning platforms and education-focused initiatives.
Step 3: Choose the registration term
Register your .gy domain for one to ten years
Select the number of years before checkout. A longer term keeps the domain registered through a later expiry date and reduces how often you need to complete a renewal transaction.

Enter the registrant details and nameservers carefully
The registration information identifies the approved domain holder and determines how registry notices can reach the account. Nameservers connect the domain to its DNS provider, website or email service.
Registrant information
Use the legal owner’s correct details
- Individual or organisation name
- Current email address and telephone number
- Accurate address and country information
- Billing details required for the order
- An account the registrant or authorised manager can access
The approved registrant is the domain holder. Avoid entering a temporary employee, contractor or unrelated party as the owner.
Nameserver selection
Connect the domain to the correct DNS service
- Use the nameservers provided by an external web host
- Use supported Revamped GY DNS, email or hosting services
- Enter at least the required primary and secondary nameservers when using an external provider
- Check spelling carefully before submitting
- Update nameservers later from My Domains when necessary
A nameserver change controls where DNS records are managed. It does not transfer ownership of the domain.
Steps 6 and 7
Review payment and understand when registration activates
The checkout shows the selected domain, registration term, optional services and full total. The activation time then depends on whether the payment is confirmed automatically or requires verification.
Automatically confirmed
Immediate registry submission
Card and any payment method identified as instantly confirmed at checkout can submit an eligible available domain directly to the registry after successful payment.
- Order confirmation is generated immediately
- The registry action is attempted automatically
- The domain appears in My Domains after successful provisioning
Confirmation required
Activation after payment verification
Bank transfer, cheque, cash and any MMG or cryptocurrency transaction requiring manual review remain pending until Revamped GY confirms receipt.
- Follow the instructions shown at checkout
- Provide the requested payment reference or proof
- Availability is not guaranteed until registry registration completes

Step 8: Manage the registered domain
Open My Domains after activation
The dashboard gives the registrant or authorised account manager a current view of the domain and the self-service controls available for it.
Registry status and expiry
Review whether the domain is active, when it expires and when renewal action is required.
Nameservers and DNSSEC
Change nameservers, review supported DNSSEC controls and connect the domain to the intended services.
Renewal and billing
Renew manually, review eligible automatic-renewal settings and check payment history.
Security and transfers
Review registrar lock and regenerate the transfer authorisation code when an approved transfer is required.
Common registration problems
.gy registration troubleshooting
Use these checks when a domain is unavailable, payment remains pending or registration information cannot be accepted.
Contact domain supportThe domain shows as unavailable
The name may already be registered or reserved. Try another extension, a short modifier or a different brand variation. A WHOIS lookup can help confirm the current status.
The domain is marked as premium
Premium .gy domains are one-character names, such as a.gy or 1.gy. The additional premium charge is shown before checkout so you can decide whether to continue.
The nameservers are rejected
Confirm the spelling, remove spaces and use the exact nameserver hostnames supplied by the DNS or hosting provider. External configurations normally require both primary and secondary nameservers.
The payment is still pending
Manual and confirmation-based methods remain pending until payment is verified. Check the payment instructions, reference details and any proof requested at checkout.
The domain is not visible in My Domains
Confirm that the order is paid and that registry registration completed successfully. Refresh the dashboard, check the confirmation email and contact support if the order remains completed without a domain record.
The registrant information is incorrect
Contact support immediately. Some registry actions may require verification or a formal update process, especially after registration has already completed.
