.group registration
A .group domain is designed for communities, teams, associations, clubs, companies, project collectives, and any organization built around shared membership or purpose. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .group name may contain from 1 to 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized names using many accented Latin characters, including characters used in French and Spanish, as well as ß. This gives organizations flexibility when their preferred name includes language-specific spelling. To transfer an existing .group domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing can take several days, and a completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both parties must complete the required validation. If the request is not completed within five days, it is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. host.yt also supports routine management such as renewals, DNS changes, DNSSEC, forwarding, contact updates, registrar locking, and privacy preferences where applicable.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .group extension mean?
The .group extension signals a shared identity, membership, or purpose. It suits communities, teams, associations, clubs, collaborative projects, company groups, and networks. Because the meaning is immediately recognizable, visitors can understand that the website represents people or organizations connected by a common activity or interest.
Who can register a .group domain?
Anyone can register a .group domain. There are no membership, location, industry, or organizational-status requirements. Individuals, informal communities, registered organizations, and businesses may all apply. Names that are available are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .group?
No eligibility documents are required for .group registration. The registrant does not need to prove membership in an organization or connection to a particular country. The chosen label must be between 1 and 63 characters, and registration remains subject to the name being available.
Is .group a good choice, and what projects suit it?
A .group domain is a practical choice when collective identity is central to the project. It works well for member communities, parent companies, working groups, clubs, professional networks, volunteer initiatives, and team portals. The extension communicates that the site represents a connected set of people or organizations.
When does .group make more sense than .com?
group makes more sense when the shared, member-based nature of a project should be visible in its address. .com is more familiar and broadly commercial, but says little about structure or purpose. Choose .group for semantic clarity; choose .com when general recognition and a conventional business identity matter more.
How long does .group registration take, and how long does it last?
A .group registration is completed after host.yt submits the order and the registry accepts it, so no fixed completion time should be assumed. It remains active for the registration term attached to the order and can be renewed before its expiry date.
How do I transfer a .group domain to host.yt?
Remove the transfer lock through your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and 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 expiry date.
