.giving registration
.giving is an open domain extension for charities, foundations, fundraising campaigns, community initiatives, donors, and organizations that want generosity to be clear in their web address. Anyone may register a .giving domain, with no eligibility conditions. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. A .giving name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of internationalized characters used in Latin, French, and Spanish, as well as ß. This makes it suitable for projects that need a meaningful local-language name while retaining a recognizable focus on giving. To transfer an existing .giving 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 provide it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s current expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both must complete the required steps. If authentication is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .giving extension mean?
giving signals generosity, donations, fundraising, or support for a cause. It gives charities, foundations, community groups, corporate giving programs, and independent campaigns a web address that communicates purpose before a visitor reaches the site.
Who can register a .giving domain?
Anyone can register a .giving domain. There are no eligibility conditions limiting registration to charities or nonprofit organizations. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so a registrant receives an available name when the registration is accepted.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .giving?
giving registration does not require charitable status, nonprofit accreditation, or supporting documents. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized characters include selections from Latin, French, and Spanish character sets, plus ß.
Is .giving a good choice, and what projects suit it?
giving is a strong fit when donations, generosity, or social support are central to the project. Suitable uses include fundraising pages, charitable organizations, grant programs, mutual-aid initiatives, donor portals, and corporate social-impact campaigns. Its meaning helps set expectations immediately.
When does .giving make more sense than .com?
giving makes more sense when communicating a donation-focused or charitable purpose is more important than using a broadly familiar commercial extension. .com offers wider general recognition, while .giving provides clearer positioning. For an organization with mixed commercial activities, .com may remain the more flexible primary address.
How long does .giving registration take, and how long does it last?
host.yt submits the registration after the order is completed, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The domain remains active through its recorded expiry date and must be renewed to continue operating. Its current dates can be tracked in your account.
How do I transfer a .giving domain to host.yt?
Disable the domain’s transfer protection at the current registrar, obtain its authorization code, and submit the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the existing expiry date, so the remaining registration time is retained.
