.country registration
.country is open to individuals, organizations, and businesses worldwide, with no eligibility conditions. It suits projects built around national identity, regional interests, rural life, travel, culture, or the broader idea of place. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration depends on the name remaining available when the request is submitted. A .country label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized domain names using selected Latin and Cyrillic characters, including accented letters and ß. This makes it possible to register names that reflect the spelling and character set used by a particular language or audience. To transfer an existing .country domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and provide it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when the transfer is finalized. Changing the registered holder requires email authentication by both the current and future holders; the request expires if validation is not completed within five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .country extension mean?
country uses the familiar word “country” to communicate a connection with places, national identity, rural life, culture, travel, or geographic themes. Because registration is open worldwide, the extension does not certify residence, citizenship, or an official relationship with a particular nation.
Who can register a .country domain?
Anyone may register a .country domain. The extension is open to individuals, businesses, associations, and other organizations worldwide without eligibility conditions. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name can be registered by the first applicant whose request is accepted.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .country?
No eligibility documents are required for a .country registration. The domain label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and comply with the extension’s technical naming rules. Selected accented Latin characters, Cyrillic characters, and ß are supported for internationalized domain names.
Is .country a good choice, and what projects suit it?
country is a clear choice for projects centered on rural communities, country music, travel, regional culture, national themes, or geographic storytelling. It also works for brands whose identity uses the word “country.” Its meaning is specific, so it is less suitable for projects without a place-related connection.
When does .country make more sense than .com?
country makes more sense when the name’s geographic, cultural, rural, or national theme should be immediately visible in the web address. .com is broader and more familiar for general commercial use, while .country provides stronger thematic meaning but may require more explanation for audiences accustomed to conventional extensions.
How quickly is .country registered, and how long does it last?
Registration proceeds after an available name is submitted, with allocation following a first-come, first-served order. The domain’s confirmed expiry date should guide renewal planning. Renew it through host.yt before that date, or use automatic renewal where enabled, to avoid losing control of the name.
How do I transfer a .country domain to host.yt?
Remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit it with your transfer request to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once finalized, the transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date.
