.business registration
.business is an open extension for companies, independent professionals, consultants, service providers, and commercial projects. There are no eligibility conditions, so individuals and organizations can register. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension makes the purpose of a website immediately clear. It can suit a company homepage, professional profile, client portal, product site, or campaign aimed at commercial customers. Internationalized names are also supported with selected Latin, French, Spanish, and German characters, including accented letters and ß. To transfer an existing .business domain to host.yt, remove any transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and a successful transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiration date. A change of domain holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders. Each party receives a validation email, and the request must be approved within five days or it is cancelled. The holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .business also supports DNSSEC, privacy preferences, DNS management, forwarding, renewal, restoration, and registrar locking.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .business extension mean?
business identifies a website with a commercial, professional, or company-related purpose. It can communicate that the site represents an operating company, independent professional, consultancy, service, product, or client-facing project. The extension is descriptive rather than tied to a particular country, industry, or legal business structure.
Who can register a .business domain?
Anyone can register a .business domain. The registry does not limit registration to incorporated companies, licensed professionals, residents of a particular country, or members of a specific industry. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the requested domain is available.
Are documents or special requirements needed to register .business?
No eligibility documents or proof of company status are required for .business registration. The requested label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and must be available when the registration is submitted. Selected accented Latin characters and additional characters such as ß are supported for internationalized domain names.
Is .business a good choice, and what projects suit it?
business is a practical choice when the website’s commercial role should be clear from the address. It suits company websites, consulting practices, professional services, client portals, product pages, and business campaigns. It is less suited to projects that need a neutral identity unrelated to commercial activity.
When does .business make more sense than .com?
business makes more sense when a descriptive address is valuable or the preferred .com name is unavailable. It signals commercial intent more explicitly and can support a focused company or service identity. .com remains more familiar and neutral, while .business provides clearer positioning at the cost of lower universal recognition.
How quickly is .business registered, and how long does it last?
business registrations are submitted on a first-come, first-served basis after availability is checked. Processing begins with a successful order, while completion timing can vary. The domain remains active for the registration term confirmed in the host.yt order and can be renewed to continue beyond its current expiration date.
How do I transfer a .business domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain the domain’s authorization code. Provide that code when ordering the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
