.restaurant registration
.restaurant is designed for restaurants, chefs, dining groups, reservation services, food guides, and other projects closely connected with eating out. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of submission determines whether a domain can be registered. A .restaurant label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of international characters, including common French and Spanish accents, German ß, and several additional Latin characters. This makes it possible to register names that reflect local spelling, regional identity, or a restaurant’s established brand. To transfer an existing .restaurant domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s current 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. Both parties must complete validation within five days or the request is cancelled. The holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. Through host.yt, .restaurant domains can also support renewal, DNS management, DNSSEC, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences where applicable.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .restaurant extension mean?
restaurant is a descriptive domain extension for restaurants and dining-related projects. It immediately signals a connection with food service, reservations, menus, reviews, or hospitality. The word appears after the dot, allowing addresses such as name.restaurant to communicate their purpose without relying on a longer domain name.
Who can register a .restaurant domain?
Anyone can register a .restaurant domain. There are no eligibility conditions limiting registration to restaurant owners, registered companies, or hospitality professionals. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the requested domain must still be available when the registration is submitted.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .restaurant?
restaurant does not require proof of restaurant ownership, a business licence, or other eligibility documents. The chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters and available for registration. Supported international characters include a selection of accented Latin letters, making locally spelled names possible.
Is .restaurant a good choice, and what projects suit it?
restaurant is a practical choice when a project’s identity is clearly tied to dining. It suits individual restaurants, restaurant groups, chefs, reservation platforms, food directories, menu services, and culinary publications. Its descriptive ending helps visitors understand the site’s subject before opening it.
When does .restaurant make more sense than .com?
restaurant makes more sense when a clearly food-service-focused address is more valuable than the broad familiarity of .com, especially if the matching .com is unavailable or ambiguous. Choose .com for a brand expected to expand beyond dining; choose .restaurant when immediate sector meaning and a concise name matter more.
How quickly is a .restaurant domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration starts after the order is successfully submitted and remains subject to registry processing and current availability. The domain stays active through its recorded expiration date and can be renewed. Its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters, and allocation follows the first-come, first-served rule.
How do I transfer a .restaurant domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock with your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and provide that code when ordering the transfer through host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
