.yokohama registration
.yokohama is a geographic domain extension for businesses, organizations, residents, cultural initiatives, and other projects connected with Yokohama. Registration is open to everyone, with no location or residency condition. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and must contain between 3 and 63 characters. The extension gives a website an immediate connection to Yokohama. It can suit local shops, restaurants, tourism services, community groups, events, property projects, and international companies serving the city. It also offers a focused alternative when the corresponding name under a broader extension is unavailable or lacks useful geographic context. To transfer an existing .yokohama domain to host.yt, first disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Transfers can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when the process is completed. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders. Each party receives a validation email, and the request is cancelled if the required confirmations are not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. Through host.yt, .yokohama also supports routine domain operations such as DNS changes, renewal, DNSSEC, registrar locking, and contact updates.
