Why .gs?
Target a specific audience with a .gs domain name
The .gs domain ending is the official domain ending for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, a British overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. That makes .gs a very targeted domain, ideal for professionals and others looking to publish a website specifically for those who live in this territory.
