.link registration
.link is open to individuals, businesses, organisations, and communities without eligibility conditions. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, making the extension suitable for directories, profile pages, resource collections, short URLs, and services built around connecting people or content. A .link name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension supports internationalised domain names using many Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Cyrillic characters, as well as ß. This allows registrants to use names that reflect the spelling and script of their audience. To transfer a .link domain to host.yt, first unlock it at the current registrar and request its authorisation 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 expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current and future holders, and the request must be completed within five days or it is cancelled. The holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. Through host.yt, .link domains can also use renewal, DNS management, DNSSEC, registrar locking, privacy, forwarding, and restoration functions.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .link extension mean?
link signals a connection, destination, reference, or route to information. It is a generic extension rather than a country-specific one. Its meaning works naturally for directories, personal profiles, resource pages, URL services, affiliate destinations, and platforms that connect people, content, products, or organisations.
Who can register a .link domain?
Anyone can register a .link domain. Individuals, companies, organisations, and groups are all eligible, with no location, citizenship, or industry condition. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration depends primarily on whether the requested name is still available.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .link?
link has no eligibility conditions and does not require supporting documents for ordinary registration. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and must be available. Internationalised names are supported across specified Latin and Cyrillic character sets, including language-specific letters and ß.
Is .link a good choice, and what projects suit it?
link is a practical choice when the domain itself should communicate connection or access. It suits directories, biography pages, curated resources, campaign destinations, shortened URLs, networking services, and referral pages. Its descriptive ending can make the purpose of a carefully chosen name immediately understandable.
When does .link make more sense than .com?
link makes more sense when connection, navigation, or resource sharing is central to the project and you want that purpose visible in the address. .com is more conventional for a general commercial brand, while .link offers clearer semantic positioning and may provide a suitable name when the matching .com is unavailable.
How quickly can I register .link, and how long does registration last?
There is no eligibility or document-review stage for ordinary .link registration. An available name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after the registration order is submitted. The applicable registration period is undefined-undefined years; the selected term and resulting expiry date should be confirmed in the host.yt order details.
How do I transfer a .link domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .link domain at your current registrar, disable any transfer protection, and obtain the authorisation code. Provide that code when placing the transfer order with host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
