The .gs domain is the country-specific top-level domain of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The islands are part of a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands have a total of 2 (in words two) permanent residents, but occasionally there are tourists, scientists and researchers in the area. A .gs domain can be bought and registered by every internet user, webmaster and administrator worldwide.
The responsible registry for the registered domains is "Atlantis North Ltd.", you can only buy and register .gs domains on second level. The .gs domain is next to the .af domain for Afghanistan, the .cx domain of the Christmas Islands, the Norfolk Islands .nf domain and the .mn Mongolian domain member of the CoCCA (Council of Country Code Administration) association.
The benefits for local businesses, local bloggers, journalists or individuals in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are admittedly limited with 2 residents. Therefore, almost all .gs domains are registered and used abroad - for example, for well-known shortening services for URLs, the so-called "URL Shortening Services".
Any Internet user anywhere in the world is able to buy and register an Internet address with this top-level domain thanks to the .gs domain's liberal procurement policy. Special proofs, certificates or documents are not required.
