.gratis registration
.gratis is open to individuals, businesses, organisations and community projects worldwide. There are no eligibility conditions, and applications are handled in the order they are received. A domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters, giving you room for anything from a short campaign name to a descriptive service address. The extension is a natural fit for free resources, complimentary products, public information, open-access services, giveaways and promotional campaigns. Because .gratis directly signals that something is available without charge, visitors can understand the purpose of the address before opening the website. Selected accented Latin characters and ß are also supported for internationalised domain names. To transfer an existing .gratis domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then request the domain’s authorisation code and submit it with the transfer order. Processing can take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Each party must complete the required validation within five days, or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .gratis extension mean?
The word “gratis” is widely understood to mean free or available without payment. A .gratis address therefore communicates a clear purpose before someone visits the site. It suits projects offering free tools, samples, downloads, information, community services, trials or promotional items.
Who can register a .gratis domain?
Anyone can register a .gratis domain. The extension is open to individuals, companies, organisations and other projects without location, industry or membership conditions. Available names are allocated according to the order in which valid registration requests are received.
Are there restrictions or documents required to register .gratis?
There are no special eligibility requirements or supporting documents required for .gratis registration. Your chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters and available when the request is processed. Registration remains subject to the standard contact details and order checks used by host.yt.
Is .gratis a good choice, and what projects suit it?
A .gratis domain is a strong descriptive choice when the website’s central offer is genuinely free. It works well for open educational resources, free software, public guides, samples, giveaways, community initiatives and complimentary services. The extension sets a clear expectation, so it is less suitable when payment is the main focus.
When does .gratis make more sense than .com?
Choose .gratis when communicating a free offer is more important than using a familiar, general-purpose extension. It gives the address immediate meaning and can support a focused campaign. Choose .com for a broad commercial brand, especially when the same website combines paid products, company information and several unrelated services.
How quickly is a .gratis domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .gratis registration is handled after the order and domain availability are confirmed, with names allocated in request order. The applicable registration term and expiration date are recorded with the domain. Renew it before that expiration date to keep the registration active and avoid interruption.
How do I transfer a .gratis domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with your transfer request to host.yt. The process may take several days, and successful completion adds one year to the domain’s current expiration date.
