.cv registration
.cv is the country-code domain extension for Cabo Verde. It suits businesses, public initiatives, community projects, and creators connected with the country or serving its residents and visitors. Registration is open, with available names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and no special registration procedure. A .cv label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. This range supports short brand names as well as longer descriptive addresses. Before submitting an order, check spelling carefully and confirm that the chosen name is available, since an available domain is not reserved until its registration has been completed. To transfer an existing .cv domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. The transfer can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date after completion. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process: confirmation emails are sent to both the current and future holders, and the request expires if validation is not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .cv supports practical domain management features, including contact and DNS changes, DNSSEC record management, renewal, restoration, registrar locking, privacy preferences, email forwarding, web forwarding, and zone operations. These operations can also be integrated through SOAP and REST APIs, making the extension suitable for both individual domain management and automated portfolios.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cv domain extension stand for?
cv is the country-code domain extension assigned to Cabo Verde. It gives websites a clear connection with the country and is especially relevant for Cabo Verdean businesses, institutions, local services, tourism projects, community platforms, and individuals building an online presence associated with the archipelago.
Who can register a .cv domain?
cv registration is open and follows a first-come, first-served allocation model. An applicant does not need to follow a special extension-specific registration procedure. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cv?
The standard .cv registration process does not require extension-specific supporting documents or a separate approval procedure. Names are allocated according to availability on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants should provide accurate holder details and choose a label between 1 and 63 characters.
Is .cv a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cv is a practical choice for projects with a meaningful connection to Cabo Verde. It suits local companies, cultural initiatives, travel services, public information, community organizations, and personal sites. Its geographic signal helps visitors understand the project’s market or regional focus before opening the website.
When does .cv make more sense than .com?
cv makes more sense when Cabo Verde is central to the project’s identity, audience, or operations because it communicates that geographic focus immediately. .com offers broader international familiarity, but it does not provide the same local signal. For a global brand without a Cabo Verde emphasis, .com is usually clearer.
How quickly is a .cv domain registered, and how long does it last?
cv names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration can proceed once the order and registry processing are completed. The applicable registration term should be confirmed during the ordering process. Renew the domain before its displayed expiry date to keep the registration active.
How do I transfer a .cv domain to host.yt?
First disable the domain’s transfer protection with its current registrar and obtain the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer request to host.yt. Processing may take several days. Once the transfer is completed, one additional year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
