01 / Overview
What is .gi?
The .gi extension belongs to Gibraltar and is managed by GibNet (Sapphire Networks). A quick fact: Gibraltar is a small British territory at the southern tip of Spain.
There is no eligibility barrier for .gi. Anyone can register a .gi name. There is no local presence rule. Pay in PKR, add your nameservers and you are online.
A Pakistani fintech company that set up a licensed entity in Gibraltar can use a .gi name for it. That is the kind of use .gi is built for.
Terms run from 1 to 5 years. Longer terms lock in the price and avoid yearly reminders. Once a name expires, recovery depends on registry rules.
Moving .gi to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in 5 to 10 days.

transfer rules for .gi
Renew .gi any time before expiry. Auto renew is available in the client area. After expiry there is a grace period of about 30 days where renewal is still at the normal price, but the website may stop working. When all periods end, the name is released and anyone can register it.
Transfers of .gi need the domain to be unlocked and a valid auth code from the current registrar. A domain cannot move within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer. The registrant email must approve the request. Typical time is 5 to 10 days.
A .gi name goes through these stages: Active for the paid term, then Expired with a grace period of about 30 days, then Pending delete, then released.
The .gi registry does not offer DNSSEC signing at this time, so DS records cannot be added.
Public WHOIS and RDAP output for .gi is redacted for most personal data. Registration data still has to be accurate, and the registry can ask for it.
