Registry rules and restrictions

What applies before and after you register. We confirm anything special before you pay.

.io

  • Anyone, with no local presence needed.
  • The territory’s status is changing after the 2024 UK–Mauritius agreement on the Chagos Islands; .io registrations continue to work normally today, but some owners keep a second extension as a fallback.
  • No HTTPS requirement from the registry, but every site should still use SSL.

.co

  • Anyone, with no local presence needed.
  • People often mistype it as .com, so many owners register both.
  • No HTTPS requirement from the registry, but every site should still use SSL.

SEO: does the extension matter?

Short answer: not for rankings. Content, links and site speed decide where you rank; the extension mostly affects trust, memorability and which country search engines assume you serve.

.io

A country code that Google treats as generic, like .com: it is not tied to one country in search results and gives no ranking boost on its own.

.co

A country code that Google treats as generic, like .com: it is not tied to one country in search results and gives no ranking boost on its own.

Myth check: no extension gets a hidden ranking bonus, and keyword extensions (like .shop or .tech) do not rank better for that keyword. Switching an established site to a new extension costs time while search engines re-learn it, so choose well up front.

Our verdict, by kind of site

Based on what each extension signals to visitors and its three-year cost at today’s prices.

  • Startup or SaaS product.coBoth fit equally well; .co costs less over three years at today’s prices.
  • Local business.co.co is what local customers expect; .io reads as less local.
  • Tech or developer project.io.io signals a technical product or team at a glance; .co is less specific.
  • Online shop.co.co tells shoppers they can buy here or is the address they trust most; .io fits a shop less naturally.
  • Non-profit or community.coBoth fit equally well; .co costs less over three years at today’s prices.
  • Personal brand or portfolio.coBoth fit equally well; .co costs less over three years at today’s prices.

.io vs .co: questions and answers

.co is cheaper in the first year (.io RM141.40, .co RM75.86). Renewals are RM261.84 and RM152.70 a year, so three years cost RM665.08 for .io and RM381.26 for .co, in MYR before VAT where it applies.
