.works registration
.works is an open domain extension suited to agencies, consultants, studios, contractors, repair services, creative portfolios, and projects that explain how something operates. Anyone may register a .works name, with no eligibility condition imposed by the registry. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .works label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized names using a range of accented Latin characters, including characters commonly used in French and Spanish, as well as ß. This can help businesses and creators use familiar local spelling in their domain. If you already own a .works domain, you can transfer it to host.yt. Before starting, remove the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. A transfer can take several days to complete. Once finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date. Holder changes use a separate authentication process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and the request must be validated within five days or it is cancelled. Changing the holder does not alter the domain’s expiry date. Through host.yt, .works domains can also support routine management such as renewals, DNS changes, DNSSEC, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .works extension mean?
The .works extension suggests work, services, completed projects, or the way a product or system operates. It creates a direct connection with portfolios, professional practices, agencies, contractors, workshops, and informational projects that demonstrate what someone does or explain how something functions.
Who can register a .works domain?
Anyone can register a .works domain. The registry does not limit registration to a particular country, profession, company type, or community. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so a registration can proceed when the requested domain is available.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .works?
The registry does not impose eligibility conditions or require supporting documents for a .works registration. The chosen label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. A range of accented Latin characters is supported for internationalized domain names.
Is .works a good choice, and what projects suit it?
A .works domain is a practical choice when the name should immediately signal services, projects, craftsmanship, or functionality. It fits portfolios, consultancies, creative studios, repair businesses, contractors, engineering projects, public works information, and sites that show how a product, process, or organization operates.
When does .works make more sense than .com?
Choose .works when the extension completes the meaning of the name or clearly frames the site around services, a portfolio, or how something operates. Choose .com when broad commercial familiarity matters more. The trade-off is stronger context with .works versus wider habitual recognition with .com.
How quickly is a .works domain registered, and how long does it last?
A registration request is processed for an available name and allocation follows the first-come, first-served rule. The domain remains active through its recorded expiry date and can be renewed. Check the registration term and expiry information shown by host.yt when placing and managing the order.
How do I transfer a .works domain to host.yt?
First disable the domain’s transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain its authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer request to host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
