The .COOP Domain Name Extension

What is a .coop domain name extension, and who is eligible?

The .coop domain name extension was created by the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA). Once an eligibility check has been done, it is accessible to all legally incorporated co-operatives, organizations, research groups, associations, and other initiatives operating within the co-operatives and mutuals sector.

Why should you care about having a .coop?

Using the .coop domain name extension for your website is clear messaging that makes your organization immediately identifiable as official, and as part of a greater movement. Using this common identifying feature solidifies the links within the co-operative movement, aligns you with the values of co-ops across the globe, and shows solidarity and growth to those outside of the co-operative movement.
