.church registration
.church gives congregations, dioceses, ministries, faith-based charities, and community groups a web address that states their purpose immediately. The extension is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each label may contain from 1 to 63 characters. A .church name can support a congregation’s main website, service schedules, event information, donations, pastoral resources, or a dedicated ministry. It can also suit publishers, directories, architects, historians, and other projects whose subject is churches or church life. The descriptive ending helps visitors understand the site’s focus before they open it. Internationalized names are supported for a defined selection of Latin characters, including many French and Spanish accented letters, the ligatures æ and œ, and ß. This makes it possible to reflect familiar local spelling where the desired characters are supported. Keep the name concise, readable, and easy to repeat aloud, especially when it will appear on signs, printed materials, or announcements. To transfer an existing .church domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization code. The transfer can take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s expiry date. A holder change uses email authentication for both the current and future holders; if validation is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled, while the expiry date remains unchanged.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .church extension mean?
The .church extension identifies a website connected with churches, congregations, ministries, religious communities, or church-related subjects. Its meaning is immediately recognizable, making it useful for websites that publish service details, community information, pastoral resources, historical material, or other content centered on church life.
Who can register a .church domain?
Anyone can register an available .church domain. The registry does not limit registration to churches, clergy, religious organizations, or members of a particular faith. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of registration determines whether a name can be secured.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .church?
There are no special eligibility conditions or supporting documents required to register a .church domain. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Some internationalized Latin characters are supported, including selected accented French and Spanish letters, ligatures, and ß.
Is .church a good choice, and what projects does it suit?
A .church domain is a practical choice for congregations, dioceses, ministries, faith-based charities, church events, directories, and educational or historical projects about churches. It communicates the subject clearly in the address itself, which is especially useful when the project serves a defined religious community or church-related purpose.
When does .church make more sense than .com?
church makes more sense when church identity or church-related content is central to the project because the address communicates that focus immediately. .com offers broader familiarity and more flexibility for commercial or multi-topic brands. Choose .church for a clearly defined religious purpose and .com for a less specialized identity.
How long does .church registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration timing depends on name availability, successful checkout, and registry processing. Once the registry accepts the request, the domain remains active until its recorded expiry date. Use that date as the definitive renewal deadline and renew beforehand to keep the .church name active without interruption.
How do I transfer a .church domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when requesting the transfer to host.yt. Processing can take several days. After completion, one year is added to the existing .church domain expiry date.
