.gg is the country code top-level domain for the Bailiwick of Guernsey. The domain is administered by Island Networks, who also administer the .je domain for neighbouring territory Jersey.[1] The domain was chosen as other possible codes were already allocated. Nigel Roberts and Laurie Brown, co-founders of Island Networks, created the .gg and .je domains in 1996 by proposing them to Jon Postel of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.[1][2][3] In the late 2000s, there was an increase in usage of the domains by local companies, with there being about 10,000 .gg and .je domain names by 2009.[3]
