.cards registration
.cards is designed for projects built around cards, from greeting-card shops and digital invitations to collectible card communities, tabletop games, loyalty programs, and card-based services. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .cards name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of internationalized Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. This gives brands and creators more flexibility when choosing a name for a particular language or audience. To transfer an existing .cards 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 use it to start the transfer. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date when the transfer finishes. A change of domain holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation messages are sent to the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both must complete the required checks. If the request is not validated within five days, it is cancelled. Changing the holder does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .cards also supports standard domain management functions such as renewal, DNS and DNSSEC configuration, registrar locking, privacy preferences, forwarding, and restoration.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cards extension mean?
cards is a descriptive domain extension associated with physical or digital cards. It can communicate a clear focus for greeting cards, invitations, collectibles, trading-card games, loyalty cards, card-design tools, or related communities without requiring that purpose to be explained in the domain name.
Who can register a .cards domain?
Anyone can register a .cards domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on location, profession, organization type, or intended use. Names that are available are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so submitting a registration does not reserve the name before it is successfully allocated.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cards?
cards does not impose applicant eligibility requirements or require supporting documents for ordinary registration. The selected label must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized characters include several accented Latin letters used in French and Spanish, along with additional characters such as ß.
Is .cards a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cards is a practical choice when cards are central to the project rather than a minor feature. It suits greeting-card retailers, invitation services, collectible marketplaces, trading-card communities, game publishers, loyalty platforms, and design tools. The extension makes the subject of the site immediately recognizable.
When does .cards make more sense than .com?
cards makes more sense when a precise, category-led identity is valuable and the project is clearly about cards. .com offers broader familiarity and flexibility if the business may expand far beyond that category. Choose .cards for immediate relevance; choose .com for a more general-purpose brand address.
How quickly can I register .cards, and how long does registration last?
Because .cards names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, check availability and submit the registration promptly when you find a suitable name. The applicable registration term is presented during the host.yt ordering process, allowing you to review the period before confirming your purchase.
How do I transfer a .cards domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the domain’s authorization code, and submit it with your transfer request to host.yt. A transfer may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date.
