.vlaanderen registration
.vlaanderen is a geographic domain extension for businesses, organisations, public initiatives and individuals connected with Flanders. Registration is open to everyone, with no residency, citizenship or local-presence requirement. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .vlaanderen name must contain between 3 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of internationalised Latin characters, including accented letters and characters such as ß and œ, allowing names to reflect local languages and spelling more accurately. Changing the domain holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders. Each receives a validation email, and both approvals must be completed within five days. If they are not, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. To transfer an existing .vlaanderen domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at the current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date when the transfer is finalised.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .vlaanderen extension stand for?
vlaanderen is a geographic domain extension associated with Flanders. It gives websites a clear regional identity and can signal a connection with Flemish customers, communities, culture or activities. It may be used by commercial, public, cultural and personal projects.
Who can register a .vlaanderen domain?
Anyone can register a .vlaanderen domain. There is no requirement to live in Flanders, hold Belgian citizenship or maintain a local business presence. Registration is available worldwide, and eligible names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .vlaanderen?
No eligibility documents or proof of a Flemish connection are required. The chosen domain label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. Supported internationalised characters include accented Latin letters as well as ß and œ, subject to normal domain-name availability checks.
Is .vlaanderen a good choice, and what projects suit it?
vlaanderen suits projects whose regional connection is important to visitors. It is a practical choice for Flemish businesses, tourism services, cultural organisations, local campaigns, public initiatives and personal sites focused on Flanders, even when the registrant is based elsewhere.
When does .vlaanderen make more sense than .com?
vlaanderen makes more sense when a Flemish identity or audience is central to the project, because the regional connection is visible in the address. .com offers broader international familiarity, but it communicates no specific link to Flanders and may provide less local context.
How quickly is a .vlaanderen domain registered, and how long does it last?
A registration can proceed once the requested name is available and the order is successfully submitted. The applicable registration term is confirmed with the order. After registration, the domain remains active until its recorded expiration date and can be renewed to maintain it.
How do I transfer a .vlaanderen domain to host.yt?
Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection with the current registrar, then request the domain’s authorisation code. Provide that code when starting the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days; once completed, one year is added to the existing expiration date.
