.gq is thecountry code top-level domain (ccTLD) forEquatorial Guinea.

The .gq registry allows the creation ofemoji domain names.

History

[edit]

The .gq domain was launched in July 1997 by GETESA, the nation's prominent internet service provider.[1]

In October 2014, domain company Freenom partnered with GETESA to try a business model which involved giving away .gq domain names for free.

Before the public launch, there was a sunrise period to allow trademark holders to register their names. Public domain registration commenced on January 1, 2015.[2][3][4]

Following Freenom's lawsuit withMeta and its settlement in 2024,[5] it is unclear who will take up registration of the domain, as the company announced it would be exiting the domain business.

Abuse

[edit]

Due to the lack of cost required to obtain a .gq domain, theTLD has been prone to usage forspam,phishing and other malicious purposes.

A study conducted by internet security companySymantec found that 92% of the top 50 .gq websites were being used for "shady" purposes.

Out of all of the websites on a .gq domain that were surveyed by Symantec, a whole 98.94% were being used for malicious purposes.[6]
