.hosting registration
.hosting is an open domain extension for hosting providers, infrastructure platforms, data centres, server specialists, managed-service businesses and projects focused on web hosting. Anyone may register a .hosting name, with no eligibility condition. Available domains are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .hosting label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalised domain names using a broad range of Latin characters, the German ß and Cyrillic script. This gives businesses and communities more flexibility to use familiar spellings while keeping the purpose of the website immediately clear. To transfer an existing .hosting domain to host.yt, first disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorisation code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion may take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date after the transfer finishes. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation messages are sent to the current holder and the intended new holder, and the request is cancelled if it is not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .hosting also supports routine management features such as contact and DNS updates, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration, forwarding, privacy preferences and API-based operations.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .hosting extension mean?
hosting identifies websites connected with web hosting, servers, infrastructure and related services. Its meaning is direct and easy to recognise, making it suitable for hosting companies, cloud platforms, data centres, technical service providers, comparison resources and educational projects covering website infrastructure.
Who can register a .hosting domain?
Anyone can register a .hosting domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession or organisation type. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available name can be registered by an individual, business, association or other applicant.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .hosting?
hosting registration does not require proof of residence, a business licence, a trademark or evidence that the registrant operates a hosting company. The requested label must contain between 1 and 63 characters, and the domain must still be available when the registration is submitted.
Is .hosting a good choice, and what projects suit it?
hosting is a focused choice for projects whose main subject is hosting or web infrastructure. It works well for hosting plans, server management, cloud services, reseller programmes, technical documentation and industry directories. The extension signals that subject before a visitor opens the website.
When does .hosting make more sense than .com?
hosting makes more sense when immediate industry context matters more than broad familiarity. It clearly positions a hosting-related service and may support a descriptive domain name. .com remains more familiar and flexible for a general corporate brand, especially if the business may expand far beyond hosting.
How quickly is a .hosting domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration can proceed when the requested domain is available, with allocation following the first-come, first-served rule. Once registered, the domain remains active through its recorded expiry date. It can be renewed to continue the registration, subject to timely completion of the renewal process.
How do I transfer a .hosting domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar, request the domain’s authorisation code and submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days. Once the transfer is completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
