.cd registration
.cd is the country-code domain extension for Congo - Kinshasa. It suits businesses, organisations, services and publications connected with the country, as well as projects that use “CD” as a meaningful abbreviation. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, without a special registration procedure. A .cd domain label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. Choosing a short, recognisable name can help establish a clear local identity for customers, partners or readers in Congo - Kinshasa. Before ordering through host.yt, check that the exact name you want is still available. To transfer an existing .cd domain to host.yt, first disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must also obtain the domain’s authorisation code. The transfer can take several days to complete, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date after completion. Holder changes are currently unavailable for .cd domains, so ownership details should be considered carefully when registering. The extension supports routine domain management such as renewals, DNS updates, DNSSEC records, forwarding, restoration, registrar locking and privacy preferences where applicable. host.yt provides a single place to register, transfer and manage the domain.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .cd extension stand for?
cd is the country-code top-level domain associated with Congo - Kinshasa, officially the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It provides a geographically relevant web address for local companies, organisations, public initiatives, media projects and other services connected with the country.
Who can register a .cd domain?
cd registration is open without a special eligibility procedure. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the applicant who successfully completes registration first receives the domain. The chosen label must contain between 3 and 63 characters.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .cd?
Registering a .cd domain does not involve a special registry procedure or a dedicated document-submission step. The principal technical requirement is the domain label length: the part before .cd must contain at least 3 and no more than 63 characters.
Is .cd a good choice, and what projects suit it?
cd is a practical choice for websites serving Congo - Kinshasa or seeking a clear association with the country. It fits local businesses, non-profits, community projects, regional services and publications. It can also suit a project for which “CD” forms a relevant, recognisable abbreviation.
When does .cd make more sense than .com?
cd makes more sense when geographic relevance to Congo - Kinshasa is central to the project, because the address immediately signals that connection. .com offers broader global familiarity but less local specificity. Choose .cd for a country-focused identity and .com for a primarily international, geography-neutral presence.
How quickly is a .cd domain registered, and how long does it last?
cd names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and do not require a special registration procedure. The applicable registration term is established with the order, after which the domain can be renewed. Submit promptly when a suitable name is available, since availability can change at any time.
How do I transfer a .cd domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Then submit the transfer through host.yt using that code. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer is finalised, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date.
