.charity registration
.charity is designed for charities, nonprofit initiatives, fundraising campaigns, foundations, community groups, and businesses supporting social causes. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions, and names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension supports internationalized names using a range of Latin characters, including many French and Spanish accents, as well as characters such as æ, œ, and ß. This makes .charity useful for organizations that want a locally recognizable name while clearly communicating a charitable or public-benefit purpose. To transfer a .charity domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Completion can take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s expiry date. DNSSEC, WHOIS privacy, domain forwarding, email forwarding, automatic renewal, and registrar-lock controls are supported. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current and future holders, and the request must be approved within five days or it is cancelled. The holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .charity extension mean?
charity identifies a domain with charitable work, fundraising, nonprofit activity, community support, or another public-benefit purpose. It gives visitors immediate context about the project behind the website, making it suitable for organizations, campaigns, foundations, and individuals whose online presence centers on giving or social impact.
Who can register a .charity domain?
Anyone can register a .charity domain. The registry does not limit registration to incorporated charities, nonprofits, or foundations. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so individuals, organizations, campaigns, and businesses may all apply for a suitable domain.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .charity?
There are no eligibility conditions or documentary requirements for registering a .charity domain. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and be available when the order is submitted. Registration follows the registry’s first-come, first-served allocation process.
Is .charity a good choice, and what projects suit it?
charity is a focused choice for nonprofit organizations, fundraising pages, relief campaigns, foundations, community programs, and corporate giving initiatives. It works particularly well when the domain itself should communicate a charitable purpose before someone visits the website. Projects unrelated to giving may benefit from a broader extension.
When does .charity make more sense than .com?
charity makes more sense when clearly signaling a charitable mission is more important than using a familiar, general-purpose extension. A .com address offers broader commercial recognition, while .charity provides stronger context for donations, nonprofit services, advocacy, and public-benefit campaigns. Organizations can also use both to protect their identity.
How quickly is .charity registered, and how long does it last?
Registration follows a first-come, first-served process, subject to the selected name being available when the request is processed. The domain remains active for the registration term selected in the order and can be renewed. Using automatic renewal can help prevent an unintended lapse near the expiry date.
How do I transfer a .charity domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock with your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. Processing may take several days. After the transfer is completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date, while its existing configuration can then be managed through host.yt.
