.uy registration
.uy is Uruguay’s country-code domain extension, suited to businesses, organisations and services with a clear connection to the country. Applications are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The holder must provide accurate identification details and accept the registry’s UY_LOCAL_ADDRESS rule when submitting the registration. A .uy label may contain between 2 and 63 characters. The registry can request additional holder information to confirm identity and compliance with its rules, so the contact record should be complete and current. Providing the required details correctly helps prevent delays during registry processing. Registry-level transfers between registrars are not supported for .uy domains. Moving a name to host.yt therefore requires deleting it at the current registrar and registering it again through host.yt. This creates a risk that another party could register the domain after deletion, so the timing and consequences should be considered carefully. Changing the registered holder is also not currently supported. Choose the holder details carefully before registering, especially when the domain will represent a company, association or long-term project. A .uy address can give a Uruguay-focused website, service or campaign a locally recognisable identity while keeping the domain name concise and relevant to its intended audience.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .uy domain extension stand for?
uy is the country-code domain extension associated with Uruguay. It gives websites, online services and email addresses a clear geographic connection to the country, making it particularly relevant for organisations, businesses and projects serving people in Uruguay.
Who can register a .uy domain?
uy registrations are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants must provide the required holder information and accept the registry’s UY_LOCAL_ADDRESS rule. The contact details should accurately identify the person or organisation that will hold the domain.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .uy?
The registry may request additional information to identify the holder and verify compliance with its registration rules. Acceptance of the UY_LOCAL_ADDRESS rule is required. Be prepared to provide complete and accurate contact information when submitting the application through host.yt.
Is .uy a good choice, and what projects suit it?
uy is a practical choice for businesses, organisations, services and campaigns focused on Uruguay. It signals local relevance immediately and can suit commercial, community or informational projects whose audience expects a clear connection to the country.
When does .uy make more sense than .com?
uy makes more sense when Uruguay is central to the project and local recognition matters more than broad international positioning. .com is generally more familiar worldwide, while .uy communicates a specific geographic focus and may be clearer for a primarily Uruguayan audience.
How quickly is .uy registered, and how long does registration last?
Registration timing depends on registry processing and whether the submitted holder information is complete. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Confirm the applicable registration term with host.yt before ordering, especially when planning renewals for a long-term project.
How can I transfer a .uy domain to host.yt?
A standard registrar transfer is not available for .uy. The domain must be deleted at the current registrar and registered again through host.yt. Because deletion releases the name and another party could claim it, assess this risk carefully before starting the process.
