.hk registration
.hk is for individuals, companies, and organisations that want a domain associated with Hong Kong. Registration is open to everyone, with names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The chosen label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Supporting documents are required. Individuals must provide a copy of an identity document, such as a national identity card, passport, or driving licence. Companies based in China or Hong Kong need a Business License. Companies established elsewhere must submit a certificate of incorporation. Providing the correct document helps avoid delays during verification. To transfer an existing .hk domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process may take several days, and transferring the domain does not change its existing expiration date. Holder changes follow a separate procedure, so contact host.yt for guidance before updating ownership. Once registered, .hk supports routine domain management such as contact and DNS changes, renewals, registrar locking, DNSSEC record management, forwarding, restoration, and owner transfers. These operations make the extension suitable for both directly managed domains and automated domain portfolios.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .hk domain extension stand for?
hk is the country-code domain extension associated with Hong Kong. It gives a website, service, or email address a clear connection to the Hong Kong market, whether the registrant is locally based or operates from another country.
Who can register a .hk domain?
Anyone can register a .hk domain. There is no local-presence or residency requirement stated for the extension. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, but every applicant must provide the appropriate supporting document for their registrant type.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .hk?
The chosen label must be 2–63 characters long. Individuals need an identity document, such as a passport, national identity card, or driving licence. Chinese and Hong Kong companies need a Business License, while companies incorporated elsewhere must provide their certificate of incorporation.
Is .hk a good choice, and what projects suit it?
hk suits businesses serving Hong Kong, local services, regional campaigns, community projects, and international companies building a distinct Hong Kong presence. It signals a geographic focus immediately, making it useful when the audience or activity is closely connected with Hong Kong.
When does .hk make more sense than .com?
Choose .hk when a strong Hong Kong identity is more important than broad global positioning. Choose .com when the project targets an international audience without a primary regional focus. A company serving both audiences may use .hk for Hong Kong-specific content and .com for its global site.
How quickly is .hk registered, and how long does it remain active?
Registration timing can vary because the required identity or company documents must be checked. Submitting clear, correct documents helps prevent delays. Once registered, the domain remains active until its recorded expiration date; review that date in your host.yt account and renew before it expires.
How do I transfer a .hk domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection for the domain at your current registrar and obtain its authorisation code. Then place the transfer order with host.yt and provide that code. A .hk transfer may take several days to complete, and the domain’s existing expiration date remains unchanged.
