.rest registration
.rest is a natural fit for restaurants, cafés, bars, food-service businesses, reservation platforms, and projects focused on relaxation or hospitality. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .rest label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized domain names using a broad range of accented Latin characters, helping businesses use names that reflect their local spelling and language. To transfer an existing .rest domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Confirmation emails are sent to the current and future holders, and each must validate the request. If validation is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A completed holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .rest extension mean?
rest immediately suggests restaurants, dining, hospitality, and reservation services. It can also suit wellness, travel, accommodation, or relaxation-focused projects. Its meaning is clear enough to communicate a theme directly within the web address, without requiring a long or descriptive domain label.
Who can register a .rest domain?
Anyone can register an available .rest domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession, organization type, or connection to the restaurant industry. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so an available domain is not reserved until registration succeeds.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .rest?
Registration does not require proof of identity, business registration, trademark ownership, or a connection to a particular industry. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported accented Latin characters may also be used in internationalized domain names.
Is .rest a good choice, and what projects suit it?
rest is a strong descriptive choice for restaurants, cafés, bars, chefs, ordering services, booking platforms, and hospitality directories. It also works for wellness or relaxation projects. Its main benefit is immediate context: visitors can infer the site’s subject before opening it.
When does .rest make more sense than .com?
rest makes more sense when a clear restaurant, hospitality, or relaxation identity matters more than broad familiarity. A .com address is more universally recognized and suits general-purpose brands, while .rest can provide a shorter, more descriptive name when the corresponding .com is unavailable or less memorable.
How long does .rest registration take, and how long does it last?
A registration request can proceed once the chosen .rest name is available and the submitted label meets registry requirements. The domain remains active until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed. Availability is determined on a first-come, first-served basis, so timing matters for desirable names.
How do I transfer a .rest domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection with your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit it to host.yt with your transfer request. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
