.bot registration
.bot is designed for automation tools, conversational agents, AI assistants, robotics projects, and services built around machine-driven interactions. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of submission determines whether a domain can be registered. A .bot name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. This gives projects room to choose anything from a short product name to a more descriptive address. Individuals, businesses, developers, and organizations can all register through host.yt without proving a connection to a particular industry or community. To transfer an existing .bot domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization 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 follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation messages are sent to both the current holder and the future holder, and each party must complete the required validation. If the confirmations are not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .bot also supports standard domain management functions, including renewals, DNS updates, DNSSEC, privacy preferences, forwarding, restoration, and registrar locking.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .bot extension mean?
bot signals a connection with automated systems, AI assistants, conversational interfaces, robotics, or similar software-driven services. It gives visitors immediate context about the project behind the address. The extension is not limited to one technical category, business model, or type of registrant.
Who can register a .bot domain?
Anyone can register a .bot domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession, organization type, or intended use. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, and each label must contain between 1 and 63 characters.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .bot?
bot registration does not require applicants to meet special eligibility conditions or submit supporting documents. The requested name must be available when the order reaches the registry and must respect the permitted label length of 1 to 63 characters.
Is .bot a good choice, and what projects suit it?
bot is a practical choice for AI assistants, customer-service automation, robotics platforms, workflow agents, developer tools, and products centered on automated interaction. It works best when that technical association helps explain the project immediately and forms a useful part of its identity.
When does .bot make more sense than .com?
bot makes more sense when automation or intelligent agents are central to the product and you want the address to communicate that focus. .com is broader and more familiar across industries, while .bot offers clearer positioning but may require a little more explanation for audiences unfamiliar with newer extensions.
How long does .bot registration take, and how long does it last?
A .bot registration takes effect after the registry accepts an available name submitted through host.yt. The applicable registration term and expiry date are shown during the ordering process and in your domain account, where you can also manage renewal and automatic-renewal preferences.
How do I transfer a .bot domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
