What is the .AG domain?
The .AG domain is a ccTLD (country code top level domain), and the Internet country code for Antigua and Barbuda. These Caribbean islands are located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east-southeast of Puerto Rico. Combined, the islands are 170.89 square miles (Antigua 108.12 sq mi, and Barbuda 62.16 sq mi), about 2.5 times the size of Washington D.C. The islands became an independent state within the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1981, and maintain an official language of English. As of July 2008, the population was 84,522.
Why should I register a .AG domain name?
The .AG domain is extremely popular in German-speaking parts of the world because AG can be used to represent certain types of companies. This is true for several major European countries including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If your company conducts business in German-speaking countries, having a .AG domain can make your presence known.
In addition to being used as a country code and it’s secondary meaning to German-speaking countries, .AG has several other meanings. The atomic symbol for silver is Ag, and so can be used to reference this metal. Additionally, the agriculture arena has begun using .AG for agriculture-related sites.
