.cymru registration
.cymru is designed for people, organisations and projects connected with Wales, its communities and its culture. Registration is open to everyone, with no location, citizenship or local-presence condition. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .cymru name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalised domain names using selected accented characters, including Welsh letters such as ŵ and ŷ. This makes it possible to create an address that reflects Welsh spelling and identity more accurately. To transfer an existing .cymru domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or protection at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer is finalised. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the intended new holder, and each must complete the required confirmation. If the process is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cymru extension stand for?
cymru uses the Welsh name for Wales. It gives websites a clear Welsh identity and is suitable for businesses, public-interest initiatives, cultural organisations, communities and individuals that want their web address to communicate a connection with Wales or the Welsh language.
Who can register a .cymru domain?
Anyone can register an available .cymru domain. There is no requirement to live in Wales, hold Welsh citizenship or maintain a local business presence. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration depends on the requested domain being available.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cymru?
No eligibility documents or proof of a Welsh connection are required. The domain label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected accented characters are supported for internationalised names, including Welsh characters such as ŵ and ŷ, alongside other characters accepted by the registry.
Is .cymru a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cymru is a practical choice when Welsh identity is central to the project. It suits local businesses, tourism services, cultural initiatives, community groups, Welsh-language content and personal sites. Its value comes from making that Welsh connection visible directly in the web address.
When does .cymru make more sense than .com?
cymru makes more sense when signalling a Welsh focus is more important than appearing globally neutral. A .com address offers broader international familiarity, while .cymru provides stronger geographic and cultural context. For a Wales-focused audience, that specificity can make the purpose of the site clearer.
How quickly is .cymru registered, and how long does registration last?
An available .cymru name is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis after the registration request is accepted. The registration lasts for the term selected in the order, with its expiry date recorded for renewal management. Check the available term and current status during ordering at host.yt.
How do I transfer a .cymru domain to host.yt?
Remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current provider, then obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Submit 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 current expiry date.
