.date registration
.date is open to anyone and suits projects built around dates, dating, events, anniversaries, schedules, historical records, or time-based services. There are no eligibility conditions, and available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A .date label may contain from 1 to 63 characters, giving both short names and descriptive phrases room to work. Registration begins with an availability check. If the name is unregistered and the order is accepted, it can be created without submitting proof of residence, business status, or a connection to a particular sector. .date also supports selected internationalized characters used in Danish, German, Norwegian, and Swedish, helping names retain their natural spelling. To transfer an existing .date domain to host.yt, disable the transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and when it is completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date. A holder change follows a separate verification process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the intended new holder, and both sides must complete authentication within five days or the request is cancelled. The holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .date supports routine controls including DNS updates, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration, registrar locking, privacy preferences, and web or mail forwarding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .date extension mean?
The .date extension gives a domain name an immediate connection to dates, dating, schedules, anniversaries, events, or time-based content. It is a generic extension rather than a country-specific address, so its meaning comes from the word itself and the project built around it.
Who can register a .date domain?
date is open to everyone. Individuals, businesses, communities, and organizations can register an available name without meeting location, industry, or membership conditions. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of registration determines whether a name can be secured.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .date?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting documents required to register a .date domain. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and be available. Internationalized characters are supported for several European language sets, including Danish, German, Norwegian, and Swedish characters.
Is .date a good choice, and what projects suit it?
date is a practical choice when the subject is inherently tied to dates or dating: an event calendar, anniversary service, booking concept, release tracker, historical archive, or dating platform. Its strength is clarity; visitors can understand the theme before opening the site, provided the name matches that expectation.
When does .date make more sense than .com?
Choose .date when the domain wording and project benefit from an explicit date, dating, event, or calendar signal. Choose .com when broad familiarity and a neutral commercial identity matter more. The trade-off is sharper meaning with .date versus wider recognition and greater flexibility with .com.
How long does .date registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration starts after the name passes the availability check and the order is accepted. Processing time can vary. The applicable registration term and expiry date are tied to the completed order; renew the domain before that expiry date to keep it active.
How do I transfer a .date domain to host.yt?
First remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar, then obtain the authorization code and submit it with the transfer request to host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
