.city registration
.city is an open domain extension for local businesses, municipal initiatives, tourism services, community groups, property projects, event organizers, and publishers focused on urban life. There are no eligibility conditions, so individuals and organizations may register. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .city name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension supports many accented Latin characters used in French, Spanish, and other European languages, as well as characters such as ß. This makes it possible to register names that reflect local spelling and pronunciation more closely. To transfer a .city domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it when starting the transfer. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the intended new holder, and each must complete the required confirmation. The request is cancelled if the process is not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .city also supports DNSSEC, WHOIS privacy preferences, DNS management, forwarding, renewal, restoration, and registrar-lock settings through compatible management tools and APIs.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .city extension mean?
The .city extension identifies a website with an urban, municipal, or locally focused purpose. It can communicate a connection to a particular place or to city life more broadly, making it relevant for local services, tourism information, neighborhood projects, events, property platforms, and civic initiatives.
Who can register a .city domain?
Anyone can register a .city domain. The registry does not limit registration to municipal authorities, residents, local companies, or organizations based in a particular location. Individuals and organizations may apply, and available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .city?
There are no eligibility conditions or documentary requirements for a standard .city registration. You do not need to prove residency, business activity, or a formal connection to a municipality. The requested label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters.
Is .city a good choice, and what projects suit it?
A .city domain is a practical choice when location or urban identity is central to the project. It suits local businesses, visitor guides, cultural programs, event calendars, neighborhood communities, property services, civic resources, and publications covering urban development, transport, food, or entertainment.
When does .city make more sense than .com?
city makes more sense when an immediate urban or place-based signal matters more than broad commercial familiarity. It gives local projects clearer context in the domain itself. .com remains more recognizable for general-purpose or international brands, while .city is more descriptive but narrower in meaning.
How quickly is a .city domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration begins once an available name is successfully submitted and created on a first-come, first-served basis. The applicable registration term is displayed during checkout at host.yt. Review the term and renewal settings before confirming the order to keep the domain active for the intended period.
How do I transfer a .city domain to host.yt?
Remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. The process may take several days. After completion, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
