.video registration
.video is designed for filmmakers, production studios, streaming services, creators, educators, reviewers, broadcasters, and businesses that publish moving-image content. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and may contain between 1 and 63 characters. A clear .video address can describe the purpose of a site before anyone visits it. It suits portfolios, showreels, channels, course libraries, product demonstrations, event recordings, and campaign pages. Selected internationalized characters are supported across several Latin writing systems, including French and Spanish characters, as well as ß. To transfer an existing .video domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when the transfer completes. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders. Each receives a validation email, and both approvals must be completed within five days or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. host.yt also supports practical domain management features, including DNS changes, DNSSEC, renewals, restoration, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .video extension mean?
video identifies websites centered on moving-image content, production, streaming, broadcasting, or related services. It gives visitors an immediate clue about the site’s subject. The extension works for individual creators and organizations alike, from showreel portfolios and channels to course libraries and production-company websites.
Who can register a .video domain?
Anyone can register a .video domain. There are no residency, nationality, professional, or industry-based eligibility conditions. Registration is available to individuals, companies, organizations, and creators worldwide. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of registration determines whether a name can be secured.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .video?
video does not require applicants to prove a connection with the media industry or submit supporting documents. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected accented Latin characters and ß are supported, allowing suitable internationalized domain names to be registered.
Is .video a good choice, and what projects suit it?
video is a practical choice when audiovisual content is central to the project. It fits filmmakers, studios, streaming platforms, broadcasters, educators, reviewers, event producers, and product teams publishing demonstrations. It is less descriptive for a site whose main purpose has no meaningful connection to moving-image content.
When does .video make more sense than .com?
video makes more sense when instant subject recognition matters, such as for a portfolio, channel, streaming catalog, or production service. .com is broader and may feel more familiar for a general corporate site. The trade-off is clarity versus universality: .video is more descriptive, while .com leaves the project’s focus open.
How quickly is a .video domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .video name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis once the registration order is successfully processed. The domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and must be renewed to continue using it. Keep automatic renewal enabled or monitor renewal notices to avoid an unintended expiration.
How do I transfer a .video domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .video domain at its current registrar and obtain its authorization code. Submit that code when ordering the transfer to host.yt. Completion can take several days. Once finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date, so the transfer does not discard the time already remaining.
