'''.co''' is the [[Country Code Top-Level Domain|country code top-level domain name]] ([[ccTLD]]) for Colombia as per ISO-3166-1 code.  A government supported entity was created between [[Arcelandia S.A.]] and [[Neustar]],  [[.co Internet|.CO Internet SAS]], which manages .co as an [[ccTLD#Open ccTLD|open ccTLD]]. <ref>[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/co-report-24nov2009.html Redelegation of the .CO domain representing Colombia to .CO Internet SAS]</ref> Domain name registration is open to all entities worldwide and it is marketed as a great alternative to the [[.com]] domain space.

An October, 2012, interview with COO [[Nicolai Bezsonoff]] put the current registration of .co at 1.35 million. [[Sedo]] has reported that .co has the highest average secondary-market price, with the first being [[.com]]. Renewal rates for domains registered during the launch period, and before general availability, are very high, well above 90%. The average rate of renewal for first and second year renewals of domains acquired during general availability is 62%.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/10/04/the-co-numbers-are-in-over-1-35-million-registered-co-domains-our-chat-with-the-coo/ The Co Numbers are In Over 1 35 million registered co domains, TheDomains.com]</ref>

Taco Bell, a sizeable fast-food restaurant, chose .co upon revamping its website. The company is using ta.co, and while this url currently redirects to tacobell.com, the shorter name is seen as a nod toward mobile users who wish to order customized meals online with as little inconvenience as possible.
