.world registration
.world is an open domain extension for individuals, businesses, communities, campaigns, and projects with an international or global focus. Anyone may register, with no eligibility conditions or supporting documents required. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .world domain label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports many internationalized Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. This makes it suitable for names that need to retain their native spelling. To transfer an existing .world domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit 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 authentication by both the current and incoming holders. Each party receives a validation email, and the request must be approved within five days or it is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date. .world also supports DNSSEC, WHOIS privacy preferences, DNS management, forwarding, renewal, restoration, and API-based domain operations through host.yt.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .world extension mean?
world signals an international, global, or broadly connected identity. It can give immediate context to projects serving multiple countries, worldwide communities, travel initiatives, international events, global campaigns, or organizations whose scope is wider than one city, region, or national market.
Who can register a .world domain?
Anyone can register a .world domain. The extension is open to individuals, companies, associations, communities, and other organizations without location, citizenship, industry, or membership requirements. Available names are assigned in the order that valid registration requests are received.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .world?
There are no eligibility conditions or documentary requirements for .world registration. The chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters and available when the request is processed. A range of accented Latin characters is supported, allowing many names to preserve their intended spelling.
Is .world a good domain choice, and for what projects?
world is a practical choice when global scope is part of the project’s identity. It suits international communities, multilingual services, worldwide directories, travel platforms, cultural initiatives, global events, and campaigns addressing audiences across borders. Its meaning is visible directly in the web address.
When does .world make more sense than .com?
world makes more sense when communicating international reach is more valuable than using the familiar commercial association of .com. It provides clearer thematic meaning for global communities, events, and cross-border projects. However, .com may require less explanation for a conventional company or general-purpose commercial website.
How quickly is a .world domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration follows a first-come, first-served process, so the name must still be available when the request reaches the registry. Once successfully allocated, the domain remains registered until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed to maintain control beyond that date.
How do I transfer a .world domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. Processing may take several days. After the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
