.press registration
.press is designed for journalists, publishers, newsrooms, media organizations, public-relations teams, and independent creators covering current affairs or specialist topics. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Available names are allocated in the order completed registration requests are received. A .press name must contain between 2 and 63 characters. This gives organizations room to use a concise brand, publication title, campaign name, or subject-focused address. Before submitting an order through host.yt, check that the spelling is correct and that the domain remains available. To transfer an existing .press domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock at the current registrar and request the domain’s 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 expiration date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation messages are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Both parties must complete validation within five days, or the request is cancelled. The holder change itself does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .press also supports renewal, restoration, DNSSEC, privacy settings, DNS management, and web or email forwarding through compatible host.yt services.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .press extension mean?
press identifies a domain with journalism, publishing, news coverage, media relations, editorial work, or public communication. It is not an acronym or a country-code extension. Its meaning is immediately recognizable, making it useful when the subject or function of a website should be clear from its address.
Who can register a .press domain?
Anyone can register a .press domain. There are no eligibility conditions limiting registration to journalists, publishers, companies, or professional organizations. Individuals, businesses, associations, and media projects may all apply, provided the requested name is available when the completed registration request is received.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .press?
press does not require applicants to prove a connection with journalism, publishing, or media, and no supporting documents are required for eligibility. The chosen label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Registration remains subject to availability and allocation in the order completed requests are received.
Is .press a good choice, and what projects suit it?
press is a focused choice for newspapers, magazines, journalist portfolios, newsroom sites, publishing projects, media kits, public-relations pages, and organizations sharing announcements. It works particularly well when an editorial or communications purpose should be apparent before a visitor opens the website.
When does .press make more sense than .com?
press makes more sense when a site’s primary identity is editorial, journalistic, publishing-related, or focused on media communications. .com is broader and may feel more familiar for a general commercial business. Choose .press when subject clarity and a relevant name outweigh the wider recognition of .com.
How quickly is a .press domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .press registration can proceed after the order is submitted and the requested name passes the availability check. Allocation follows the order in which completed requests arrive. Once registered, the domain remains active until its recorded expiration date and can be renewed through host.yt.
How do I transfer a .press domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Enter that code when placing the transfer order with host.yt. The process may take several days. After completion, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
