.moe registration
.moe is designed for anime, manga, gaming, illustration, cosplay, and other projects connected with Japanese pop culture. It can also suit creators, communities, shops, and fan projects that want an expressive address with an immediately recognizable theme. The registry allows anyone to register .moe without eligibility conditions. Available .moe domains are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. No connection to Japan, entertainment, or a particular community is required, so both individuals and organizations can use the extension. To transfer an existing .moe domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then request the domain’s authorization code and provide it during the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when the transfer finishes. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Confirmation messages are sent to both the current and incoming holders, and both parties must complete validation. If the required confirmations are not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date. host.yt also supports routine management such as renewals, DNS changes, DNSSEC, registrar locking, forwarding, and privacy preferences where applicable.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .moe extension mean?
“Moe” is a Japanese term commonly associated with strong affection for fictional characters and with anime, manga, and related fan culture. A .moe address signals that connection clearly, making it suitable for creative work, communities, collections, reviews, events, and stores serving those audiences.
Who can register a .moe domain?
Anyone can register a .moe domain. The registry does not limit registration by country, profession, organization type, or connection to Japanese pop culture. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available domain can be registered by either an individual or an organization.
Are there restrictions or documents required to register .moe?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting documents required specifically for .moe registration. Your chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registration follows the first-come, first-served rule, so earlier successful applications take priority for the same name.
Is .moe a good choice, and what projects suit it?
moe is a focused choice for anime, manga, games, illustration, cosplay, fan communities, character databases, conventions, and themed shops. It also works for creators whose identity draws on Japanese pop culture. Its main value is signaling that context directly through the domain name.
When does .moe make more sense than .com?
Choose .moe when an anime, manga, gaming, or fandom identity is central to the project and you want the address to communicate that immediately. Choose .com when broad familiarity and a category-neutral business identity matter more. .moe offers sharper positioning, while .com usually carries wider general recognition.
How quickly is .moe registered, and how long does it last?
A .moe name is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis after an available domain is successfully ordered. Processing time can vary with the registration request. The applicable registration term is confirmed with the order, and the domain can be renewed before expiry to keep it active.
How do I transfer a .moe domain to host.yt?
Unlock the domain and disable transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain its authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer request to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
