.gift registration
.gift is open to individuals, businesses, charities, and organizations without eligibility conditions. It suits online stores, experience providers, fundraising campaigns, wish-list services, and anyone creating a site around presents or giving. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name is not reserved until registration succeeds. A .gift name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized names using many Latin characters, including French, Spanish, and Portuguese letters, as well as Cyrillic characters and ß. This allows brands and projects to use familiar local spellings while keeping the clear meaning of .gift. To transfer an existing .gift domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it with the transfer order. Completion can take several days. Once finalized, the registry adds one year to the domain’s current expiry 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 validate the request within five days, or it is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .gift also supports renewal, restoration, registrar locking, WHOIS privacy preferences, DNSSEC, DNS management, and web or email forwarding through compatible services.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .gift extension mean?
gift directly signals presents, giving, rewards, or generosity. It gives visitors immediate context before they open the website. The extension can fit retailers, gift-card services, wish lists, charitable campaigns, experience providers, seasonal promotions, and personal pages created for a celebration.
Who can register a .gift domain?
Anyone can register a .gift domain. The registry does not limit eligibility to a particular country, profession, organization type, or commercial activity. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration must be completed before another applicant secures the same name.
Does .gift have registration restrictions or require documents?
gift has no eligibility conditions and does not require documents merely to qualify for registration. The chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters and available at the time the request is processed. Supported internationalized characters include several Latin alphabets, Cyrillic letters, and ß.
Is .gift a good choice, and what projects suit it?
gift is a focused choice when giving is central to the project. It works well for present shops, gift cards, subscription boxes, registries, wish lists, charitable initiatives, reward programs, and experience vouchers. Its meaning is clear, but it is less suitable when the project has no connection to gifts or giving.
When does .gift make more sense than .com?
gift makes more sense when the domain itself should explain that the site concerns presents, rewards, or donations. It can create a shorter, more descriptive address. .com remains more broadly familiar and flexible, making it preferable for a general company site that may expand far beyond gift-related products or services.
How quickly is a .gift domain registered, and how long does it remain active?
Registration is processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and the name becomes allocated when the request succeeds. A registered .gift domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed. Renewal and auto-renewal operations are supported, helping prevent an unintended lapse when configured correctly.
How do I transfer a .gift domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .gift domain at its current registrar and obtain its authorization code, then submit the transfer through host.yt. The process may take several days. After the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date. Transferring the domain does not itself change its registered holder.
