.pub registration
.pub is designed for bars, breweries, hospitality venues, publishers, community spaces, and projects that want a direct connection with gatherings, drinks, or public-facing content. The extension is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition imposed by the registry. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .pub name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports numerous internationalized Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. This makes it possible to register names that reflect the spelling of a local brand, venue, publication, or personal project. To transfer an existing .pub domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. The transfer can take several days. After it completes, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Both parties must complete validation within five days, or the request is cancelled. A completed holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .pub also supports routine management features such as renewal, DNS changes, DNSSEC, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .pub extension mean?
The .pub extension is closely associated with public houses, bars, breweries, and social venues. It can also serve as a concise reference to publishing or public-facing content. Its meaning makes the domain useful when a project benefits from an immediate hospitality, community, or editorial association.
Who can register a .pub domain?
Anyone can register a .pub domain. The registry does not limit eligibility to bar owners, hospitality businesses, publishers, organizations, or residents of a particular country. Registration is available to individuals and businesses, and available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .pub?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting-document requirements for registering a .pub domain. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized characters include many accented Latin letters used in French and Spanish, along with additional characters such as ß.
Is .pub a good choice, and what projects suit it?
pub is a focused choice for bars, breweries, hospitality groups, local gathering places, event communities, and publishing projects. It works particularly well when the domain ending adds useful context to the name. Because registration is open, creative projects may also use it without proving an industry connection.
When does .pub make more sense than .com?
pub makes more sense when a name should immediately signal a bar, brewery, social venue, community space, or publishing concept. .com is broader and may feel more familiar to a general audience, while .pub provides sharper positioning. The trade-off is specificity: stronger meaning, but less category neutrality.
How quickly can a .pub domain be registered, and how long does it last?
Registration can proceed once the requested name is confirmed as available, with allocation following first-come, first-served order. The domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed. If it is transferred to host.yt, successful completion adds one year to that expiry date.
How do I transfer a .pub domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .pub domain by disabling transfer protection at its current registrar, then obtain its authorization code and submit the transfer through host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date; the domain name itself remains unchanged.
