What Is .global?
The .global domain is a generic top-level domain designed for businesses and organizations with an international scope. It communicates worldwide reach and ambition right in the domain name.
Launched as part of ICANN's new gTLD program, .global is managed by Dot Global Domain Registry. Registration is open to anyone without geographic restrictions.
The extension works particularly well for companies that want to emphasize their international presence — global consulting firms, international organizations, and products available worldwide.
Why This Matters for Startups
If your startup has global ambitions from day one, .global can complement your brand — especially if your preferred .com is unavailable. It works best as a domain hack (e.g., brand.global) or for organizations that inherently operate across borders. However, for most startups, more established extensions like .com or .io will carry more weight with investors and customers.
