.bio registration
.bio is open to individuals, organisations, and businesses without eligibility conditions. Its concise meaning suits personal biographies, professional profiles, life-science projects, environmental initiatives, organic producers, and brands focused on people or living systems. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .bio name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports selected internationalised characters, including ä, ö, ü, à, â, æ, ç, è, é, ê, ë, î, ï, ñ, ô, ù, û, ÿ, and œ. This makes it possible to register names that reflect several European languages more naturally. To transfer an existing .bio domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar transfer lock and request the authorisation code from the current registrar. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Validation messages are sent to both the current and future holders, and both parties must complete the required confirmation. If authentication is not finished within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .bio extension mean?
bio is commonly understood as shorthand for biography or biology. That gives it a clear association with personal profiles, researchers, healthcare and life-science projects, environmental work, organic products, and organisations concerned with living systems. The intended subject is visible directly in the web address.
Who can register a .bio domain?
Anyone can register a .bio domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession, business type, or subject matter. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name can be registered by the first applicant whose order is successfully processed.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .bio?
bio registration does not require proof of identity, professional status, organisational membership, or a connection to a particular industry. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and be available when the registration request is submitted. Selected accented European characters are supported.
Is .bio a good choice, and what projects suit it?
bio is a strong fit when biography, biology, health, sustainability, organic production, or living systems are central to the project. It works well for personal profile pages, researchers, laboratories, environmental groups, farms, food producers, and focused editorial sites whose purpose benefits from an immediately descriptive address.
When does .bio make more sense than .com?
bio makes more sense when the connection to biography, biology, organic products, or sustainability is useful context and should appear in the address. .com offers broader familiarity and greater flexibility if the project may change direction. Choose .bio for a sharper subject signal; choose .com for a more general brand.
How quickly is a .bio domain registered, and how long does it last?
bio names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after availability and order processing are confirmed. A registration remains active for the term attached to the order and until its recorded expiry date, unless renewed. Timely renewal is necessary to keep the domain active beyond that date.
How do I transfer a .bio domain to host.yt?
Remove the transfer lock at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorisation code, and provide it when ordering the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the existing expiry date of the .bio domain.
