.brussels registration
.brussels is the geographic domain extension for Brussels. It suits local businesses, public initiatives, cultural organisations, community groups and projects that want an immediate connection with the city. Registration is open to everyone without residency, business-location or other eligibility conditions, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .brussels label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalised names containing the German characters ä, ö, ü and ß. This gives organisations and individuals more flexibility when choosing a name that reflects their identity, audience or work in Brussels. To transfer an existing .brussels domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion may take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer finishes. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the future holder, and both must complete the required steps within five days or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. host.yt also supports DNS management, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration and forwarding operations for .brussels domains.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .brussels extension stand for?
brussels is a geographic domain extension associated with Brussels. It gives a web address a clear connection to the city and can help visitors recognise a Brussels-focused business, organisation, service, event or community project before they open the website.
Who can register a .brussels domain?
Anyone can register an available .brussels domain. There is no residency, citizenship, local-address or business-presence requirement. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the first eligible application received for an available name takes priority.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .brussels?
No eligibility documents are required because .brussels is open to everyone. The domain label must contain between 3 and 63 characters, and the requested name must be available. Internationalised names may use the supported characters ä, ö, ü and ß.
Is .brussels a good choice, and what projects suit it?
brussels is a practical choice for projects with a meaningful connection to Brussels. It fits local shops, professional services, cultural programmes, tourism resources, neighbourhood initiatives, public-interest projects and event websites that want their geographic focus to be immediately visible.
When does .brussels make more sense than .com?
Choose .brussels when Brussels is central to the project and local recognition matters more than a globally neutral address. Choose .com when the brand serves a broad international market without a city-specific identity. .brussels communicates location clearly, while .com offers wider geographic neutrality.
How quickly is .brussels registered, and how long does it last?
brussels names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after a registration request is processed. The domain remains active for the registration term attached to the order and must be renewed before its expiry date to keep the registration active.
How do I transfer a .brussels domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Provide that code when ordering the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
