.game registration
.game is designed for video games, tabletop titles, esports teams, streamers, studios, publishers, fan communities, and gaming services. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registering through host.yt starts with checking whether your preferred .game name is available. The extension also supports internationalized domain names using many Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cyrillic characters, together with characters such as ß. This can help projects use names that match their language and audience. To move an existing .game domain to host.yt, disable the transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer request. Completion may take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiration date. Changing the registered holder uses a separate authentication procedure. Validation messages are sent to both the current holder and the future holder, and both parties must complete the required confirmation. The request is cancelled if the process remains incomplete after five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. Through host.yt, .game domains can also use DNSSEC, registrar locking, WHOIS privacy, DNS management, forwarding, renewal, and restoration features.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .game extension mean?
game directly signals a connection with gaming. It can identify a video game, development studio, esports organization, tabletop project, streaming channel, community, review site, or related service. The extension describes the project’s subject clearly without requiring the word “game” elsewhere in the domain name.
Who can register a .game domain?
Anyone can register an available .game domain. The registry does not limit registration to game developers, companies, professional players, or industry organizations. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so completing registration is important when a suitable name is available.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .game?
game has no eligibility conditions and does not require applicants to prove a connection with the gaming industry. A domain label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registration remains subject to name availability and the standard information needed to identify the domain holder.
Is .game a good choice, and what projects suit it?
game is a practical choice when gaming is central to the project’s identity. It suits individual titles, studios, publishers, esports teams, tournaments, gaming communities, streamers, tabletop projects, guides, and specialist services. Its meaning is clear to visitors before they open the website.
When does .game make more sense than .com?
game makes more sense when immediate gaming relevance matters more than broad familiarity. It gives a title, team, or community a descriptive address and may allow cleaner naming. .com remains more neutral and familiar for companies spanning several industries, products, or audiences beyond gaming.
How quickly is a .game domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration begins after you submit an available name and the required holder details through host.yt. The selected registration term and exact expiration date are confirmed during checkout and shown in your account. Renew the domain before that date to keep the registration active.
How do I transfer a .game domain to host.yt?
First disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Enter that code when ordering the transfer through host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the .game domain’s existing expiration date.
