.academy registration
.academy is intended for education-focused identities, including training providers, specialist learning platforms, professional development programs, tutors, schools, and knowledge communities. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions or documentary requirements. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .academy name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports selected internationalized characters from several European language sets, allowing organizations to register names that reflect their usual spelling. This can be useful for local programs, multilingual teaching services, and institutions serving a specific language community. To transfer a .academy domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Processing can take several days. Once completed, the domain’s expiry date is extended by one year. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. If the required approvals are not completed within five days, the request is canceled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. Through host.yt, .academy domains can also use services such as DNS management, DNSSEC, renewal, registrar locking, WHOIS privacy where available, and web or email forwarding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .academy extension mean?
academy signals a clear connection with education, instruction, training, or structured learning. It suits organizations and individuals whose primary purpose is teaching or sharing expertise, from professional certification programs and online courses to specialist institutes, tutors, sports academies, and community learning projects.
Who can register a .academy domain?
Anyone can register a .academy domain. The extension is open to individuals, companies, educational organizations, and other groups without eligibility conditions. Registration does not require the applicant to be an accredited school or formally recognized academy. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .academy?
There are no registry eligibility restrictions or supporting documents required for a .academy registration. The requested name must be available and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected accented and internationalized characters are supported, including characters used in French, Spanish, and other Latin-based languages.
Is .academy a good choice, and what projects suit it?
academy is a strong fit when education or training is central to the project. It works well for online learning platforms, tutoring services, professional development programs, artistic or sports instruction, specialist institutes, and knowledge communities. Its meaning helps visitors understand the site’s purpose before opening it.
When does .academy make more sense than .com?
academy makes more sense when you want the domain itself to communicate a focused educational or training identity. .com is broader and may feel more familiar for a general commercial business. Choose .academy for relevance and descriptive clarity; choose .com when the project may expand well beyond learning services.
How quickly is a .academy domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration proceeds after the order is accepted and the requested name is confirmed as available. Because names are allocated first come, first served, availability can change until registration succeeds. The domain remains active until its confirmed expiry date and must be renewed to continue operating beyond that date.
How do I transfer a .academy domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection with your current provider, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. After the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
