What is .gob.es TLD

.gob.es is the government-specific second‑level domain within Spain’s .es country-code space, reserved for public administrations and institutions. In our taxonomy we treat this namespace like a focused TLD to monitor official digital estates. .gob.es domains typically host authoritative services, registers, and advisories, and .gob.es websites are widely accessed beyond Spain via global networks. We currently index 509 active .gob.es domains, observe 509 live .gob.es websites, and see 509 with resolvable DNS records, indicating comprehensive activation. Usage appears geographically distributed, with signals present in 11 countries, reflecting hosting, traffic, or operational footprints. These measurements help benchmark reliability, coverage, and change over time across the government web. Download .gob.es datasets from webatla for complete coverage.

History and key features of .gob.es TLD

The .gob.es namespace emerged as part of structured second‑level labeling under .es to segregate public-sector identity from commercial and civil spaces. Its defining features are strict eligibility, standardized naming tied to institutions, and low churn relative to open registries. Growth is steady: we recorded 5 in December 2025 and 0 respectively, consistent with a stable corpus of 509 names. Nearly universal configuration is evident, with 509 domains carrying DNS, and parity between active domains and live .gob.es websites at 509. Together, these properties make .gob.es domains predictable units for longitudinal policy and availability studies across administrations.

Why and who choose the .gob.es domain

Public bodies – ministries, regional governments, municipalities, and agencies – choose .gob.es domains to signal authenticity, legal mandate, and alignment with Spain’s administrative structure. For citizens and businesses, .gob.es websites concentrate services such as procedures, procurement, and transparency portals, reducing ambiguity versus generic ccTLD labels. From our measurements, activation is high: 509 live sites compared with 509 active registrations, and 509 configured with DNS. Operational footprints span 11 countries, reflecting distributed hosting and cross-border access to official information. These characteristics suit organizations needing durable identities, auditable change, and stable dissemination of public content supported by controlled governance.
