.gmbh

.gmbh is a generic top-level domain built around “GmbH”, the abbreviation for Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, a limited-liability company form widely used in German-speaking Europe.

The extension is intended for businesses that genuinely hold, or are in the process of obtaining, qualifying GmbH status. Current registry-linked terms used by registrars require the registrant to be able to demonstrate a current or pending GmbH designation that can be validated with the relevant public authorities in Germany, Austria, Switzerland or Liechtenstein.

That makes .gmbh different from open company-themed TLDs such as .company or .business. The ending communicates a specific legal form rather than a general commercial identity.

A .gmbh registration should not be used to imply a corporate status the registrant does not have. Evidence may be requested under the applicable registry rules.

VYR classifies .gmbh as restricted because eligibility is tied to the GmbH legal designation, even though verification may not always occur at checkout.
