.games registration
The .games extension is designed for video games, tabletop titles, esports teams, studios, publishers, streamers, communities, and services built around play. It is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so a successful order depends on the requested name still being available when the registry processes it. A .games label may contain from 1 to 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of internationalized Latin characters, including letters used in French and Spanish, as well as ß. This gives projects room to use a familiar spelling while keeping the purpose of the address clear. To transfer an existing .games domain to host.yt, first turn off the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. Then obtain the authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days. Once finalized, one year is added to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Validation messages go to both the current and future holders, and the request is cancelled if it is not completed within five days. This holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. host.yt can also support DNSSEC, DNS changes, renewal, restoration, forwarding, and privacy settings for .games domains.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .games extension mean?
games uses the ordinary English word “games” to signal a connection with play, gaming, or the games industry. It can identify video game projects, tabletop brands, esports organizations, publishers, communities, media, or services without needing that context explained elsewhere in the address.
Who can register a .games domain?
Anyone can register a .games domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession, organization type, or involvement in the games industry. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration is possible while the requested name remains available.
Are documents or special requirements needed to register .games?
No eligibility documents or proof of industry involvement are required for .games. The requested label must be between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized names can use specified Latin characters, including French and Spanish accented letters and ß, subject to availability.
Is .games a good choice, and what projects suit it?
games is a clear choice for projects whose identity centers on games or play. It suits developers, publishers, esports teams, gaming communities, reviewers, streamers, tabletop creators, event organizers, and online game services. The extension tells visitors what kind of content or business to expect.
When does .games make more sense than .com?
games makes more sense when an immediate gaming identity is more valuable than a broad, general-purpose address. It gives visitors useful context before they open the site. .com is less specific and may suit organizations planning to expand far beyond games into unrelated products or services.
How quickly is .games registered, and how long does it last?
A .games order is submitted for registry processing, and allocation occurs if the name is still available. Processing time can vary. Once registered, the domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and must be renewed before that date if you want to continue using it.
How do I transfer a .games domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. The process can take several days. After the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date.
