.maison registration
.maison is an open domain extension suited to property businesses, home-focused services, architects, interior designers, accommodation providers, and projects with a French identity. “Maison” means “house” or “home” in French, giving the web address an immediate connection to places, living spaces, and property. Anyone may register a .maison domain without meeting eligibility conditions or submitting supporting documents. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A label may contain from 1 to 63 characters, and supported internationalized characters include accented letters used in French, Spanish, and other Latin-based languages. A .maison address can make the purpose of a project clear before someone visits the website. It works particularly well for real estate listings, renovation companies, furniture brands, design studios, holiday homes, and editorial projects about architecture or domestic life. A concise, relevant name keeps that connection easy to recognize. To transfer an existing .maison domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Completion may take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date once the transfer finishes. Changing the holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders through emailed validation requests, which expire after five days.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .maison extension mean?
“Maison” is the French word for “house” or “home.” The .maison extension therefore signals a connection with property, housing, interiors, architecture, accommodation, or domestic life. It can also give a brand or project a distinctly French character without restricting where the registrant is based.
Who can register a .maison domain?
Anyone can register a .maison domain. There are no location, profession, or organizational eligibility conditions. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so a domain remains obtainable only until another applicant successfully registers it.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .maison?
Registration does not require proof of residence, business activity, professional status, or a connection to France. The selected label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. .maison also supports various accented Latin characters, allowing suitable names in French, Spanish, and other supported languages.
Is .maison a good choice, and what kinds of projects suit it?
A .maison domain is a strong fit when the name should immediately suggest homes, property, or French style. Suitable uses include real estate agencies, architects, interior designers, furniture shops, renovation services, holiday accommodation, residential developments, and publications focused on houses or domestic living.
When does .maison make more sense than .com?
maison makes more sense when a clear association with homes, property, interiors, or French identity matters more than broad familiarity. .com is easier for a general-purpose global brand, while .maison provides sharper positioning for a specialized project but may require more explanation for unfamiliar audiences.
How long does .maison registration take, and how long does it last?
Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration is confirmed after the order and registry processing are completed. The applicable registration term, expiry date, and renewal options are presented through host.yt, allowing you to review the domain’s lifecycle and renew it before expiration.
How do I transfer a .maison domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. Processing can take several days. After completion, one year is added to the existing expiry date of the .maison domain.
