.cooking registration
.cooking is intended for recipe publishers, chefs, cooking schools, food creators, kitchen brands, culinary communities, and services built around preparing food. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Each .cooking label may contain 1 to 63 characters. The extension also supports selected internationalized characters used in German, Spanish, and French, including accented letters and forms such as ä, ñ, ç, and œ. This makes it practical for culinary names that retain their native spelling. To transfer an existing .cooking domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and once completed, one year is added to the domain's expiry date. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated procedure. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both parties must complete validation within five days or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain's existing expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cooking extension mean?
cooking is a descriptive domain extension for food preparation, recipes, culinary education, professional kitchens, and related services. It does not identify a country or restricted professional group. Its value is semantic: the web address itself tells visitors that cooking is the site's central subject.
Who can register a .cooking domain?
Anyone can register a .cooking domain. The registry does not impose residency, citizenship, professional, or industry-based eligibility conditions. Names that are available are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so completing registration promptly matters when several parties may want the same address.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cooking?
There are no special eligibility documents required for .cooking registration. The domain label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected German, Spanish, and French internationalized characters are supported, allowing names with characters such as ä, á, ñ, ç, ü, and œ.
Is .cooking a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cooking is a strong fit when preparing food is the project's defining subject. It suits recipe collections, chef portfolios, cooking courses, culinary communities, kitchen-product sites, food media, and practical cooking services. The extension gives visitors immediate context before they open the website.
When does .cooking make more sense than .com?
Choose .cooking when clear culinary positioning is more important than a broad, category-neutral identity. It can make a recipe, teaching, or chef brand easier to understand from the address alone. Choose .com when the project covers many unrelated subjects or may expand well beyond food and cooking.
How quickly is a .cooking domain registered, and how long does it last?
cooking names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and a name is secured only after the registry confirms the registration. Processing time can vary. Check the registration term and resulting expiry date shown during the host.yt ordering process before completing your purchase.
How do I transfer a .cooking domain to host.yt?
First disable the domain's transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain its authorization code. Provide that code when placing the transfer order with host.yt. A transfer can take several days, and successful completion adds one year to the domain's existing expiry date.
