.xyz registration
.xyz is open to individuals, businesses, organisations, and communities worldwide. There are no eligibility conditions, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Each label may contain between 1 and 63 characters, giving you room for anything from a short brand to a descriptive project name. The extension suits technology products, creative work, online communities, portfolios, and projects intended for an international audience. It also supports selected internationalised characters from Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts, helping registrants use names that reflect their language and identity. To transfer a .xyz domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and a successfully completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. A change of holder requires authentication by both the current and future registrants. Validation emails are sent to each party, and the request must be approved within five days or it is cancelled. Changing the holder does not alter the domain’s existing expiry date. .xyz also supports routine domain management, including DNS changes, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .xyz extension mean?
xyz uses the final three letters of the Latin alphabet, giving it a broad, open-ended identity rather than tying it to a country, profession, or industry. It works as a general-purpose extension for projects that want a modern, internationally understandable web address.
Who can register a .xyz domain?
Anyone can register an available .xyz domain. The registry does not limit registration to residents, companies, professional groups, or members of a particular community. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of registration is decisive.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .xyz?
xyz has no special eligibility conditions and does not require documents proving residence, business activity, or membership in a defined group. Your chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected internationalised Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic characters are supported.
Is .xyz a good choice, and what projects suit it?
xyz is a practical choice for technology products, creative portfolios, online communities, experimental projects, and internationally focused brands. Its neutral meaning leaves room for many identities. It is especially useful when a concise name is unavailable under older extensions or when the project should avoid a country-specific association.
When does .xyz make more sense than .com?
xyz makes more sense when you want a modern, neutral identity or can secure a cleaner, shorter name than under .com. By contrast, .com carries stronger conventional recognition for established commercial businesses. Choose .xyz for flexibility and naming options; choose .com when familiarity is the main priority.
How quickly is a .xyz domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .xyz name is allocated once an available registration request is successfully processed, following the first-come, first-served rule. Its active term runs until the recorded expiry date. Renewing the domain extends that date, while an expired name may require restoration before it can return to normal use.
How do I transfer a .xyz domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Enter that code when ordering the transfer to host.yt. Completion can take several days. Once finalised, the transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date.
