.ac.ci registration
.ac.ci is commonly associated with academic, educational, and research-focused activity in Côte d’Ivoire. It can suit universities, schools, training providers, laboratories, scholarly projects, and related services that want a locally relevant address. Registration follows the standard process without a special registry procedure. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability determines whether an application can proceed. A .ac.ci label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Choosing a concise name that clearly identifies the institution, department, programme, or project will make the address easier to communicate. To transfer an existing .ac.ci domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorisation code and provide it during the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date once the transfer is finalised. Holder changes require a dedicated ownership-change procedure, so contact host.yt before starting if the registrant must also be updated. The extension supports routine domain management such as contact and DNS changes, renewal, restoration, registrar locking, DNSSEC, nameserver host records, and web or email forwarding. These operations can also be integrated through supported SOAP and REST APIs.

Frequently asked questions
What does .ac.ci stand for?
ac.ci is part of the .ci domain space for Côte d’Ivoire. The “ac” element is commonly associated with academic activity, making the extension a natural fit for educational institutions, research organisations, training programmes, and projects that want a clear connection to Côte d’Ivoire.
Who can register a .ac.ci domain?
Registration uses the standard application process, without a special registry procedure. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The requested label must contain between 2 and 63 characters and must still be available when the registration request is processed.
Does .ac.ci have registration restrictions or require documents?
The registry procedure does not impose a special registration process for .ac.ci. Registration is based on name availability and first-come, first-served allocation. Keep the domain label within the permitted length of 2 to 63 characters and provide accurate registrant details with the order.
Is .ac.ci a good choice, and what projects suit it?
ac.ci is well suited to Côte d’Ivoire-focused academic, educational, research, and training projects. It can help an institution, department, laboratory, conference, or learning platform communicate both its field and geographic connection through the domain name itself.
When does .ac.ci make more sense than .com?
Choose .ac.ci when academic positioning and a connection to Côte d’Ivoire are central to the project. Choose .com when the main priority is broad international familiarity or a commercial identity. .ac.ci is more specific and locally meaningful, while .com is more general-purpose.
How quickly is .ac.ci registered, and how long does it last?
There is no special registration procedure, and applications are handled according to availability on a first-come, first-served basis. Processing time can vary. The domain remains active until its assigned expiry date and can be renewed; check the term and renewal details presented with your host.yt order.
How do I transfer a .ac.ci domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection with your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days, and one year is added to the existing expiry date after completion.
