.school registration
.school is an open domain extension for schools, academies, training providers, educators, student initiatives, and projects connected with learning. Anyone may register an available name, without eligibility conditions or required institutional status. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .school domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension supports internationalized names using a range of Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. Availability must be checked before registration because no applicant receives priority over an earlier valid request. To transfer an existing .school domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must also obtain the domain’s authorization code and provide it when starting the transfer. Completion may take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process. Validation messages are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Both parties must complete the required confirmation within five days, or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .school extension mean?
The .school extension identifies a website with education, teaching, training, or a learning community. It can give visitors immediate context before they open the site, making it suitable for educational institutions, independent teachers, course providers, student groups, and projects built around knowledge sharing.
Who can register a .school domain?
Anyone can register an available .school domain. Registration is not limited to accredited institutions, teachers, or education companies. Individuals, organizations, community groups, and commercial projects may apply, with available names assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .school?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting documents required specifically for .school registration. The requested domain must be available, and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registration remains subject to the normal submission and registry processing steps.
Is .school a good choice, and what projects suit it?
school is a clear choice for a project whose identity is directly connected with education. It suits schools, academies, tutoring services, online courses, teacher resources, alumni communities, student initiatives, and training programs that want their purpose to be visible in the domain itself.
When does .school make more sense than .com?
school makes more sense when educational identity is central and immediate clarity matters. A .com address is broader and may feel more familiar for a general commercial brand, while .school communicates a narrower purpose. Choose .school when that focus strengthens recognition rather than limiting future expansion.
How quickly is a .school domain registered, and how long does it last?
An available .school name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis through the standard registration process. Its active term runs until the recorded expiry date and can be extended by renewal. A completed transfer to host.yt adds one year to the existing expiry date.
How do I transfer a .school domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days, and successful completion extends the domain’s current expiry date by one year.
