.properties registration
.properties is designed for real estate agencies, property managers, developers, listing services, surveyors, landlords, and businesses that publish information about buildings or land. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so a successful search does not reserve a name until registration is completed. A .properties name can use a label from 1 to 63 characters. The extension also supports selected internationalised Latin characters, including accented French and Spanish letters, ß, æ, œ, and other listed variants. This makes it practical for local property brands that use native spelling in their names. To transfer an existing .properties domain to host.yt, first remove the registrar lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar, then request the authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and the completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Changing the registered holder follows a separate verification process. Both the current holder and the intended new holder receive validation emails, and the request must be completed within five days or it is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .properties also supports DNSSEC, WHOIS privacy, web and email forwarding, restoration, and API-based domain operations.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .properties extension mean?
properties is a generic domain extension centred on property-related identity and content. It signals a connection with real estate, buildings, land, rentals, listings, property management, or related professional services. It does not impose a particular business model or geographic focus.
Who can register a .properties domain?
Anyone can register a .properties domain. The registry sets no eligibility condition for individuals, organisations, or businesses. Names are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration depends on the requested name still being available when the order is processed.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .properties?
There are no eligibility restrictions or supporting documents required to register a .properties domain. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and follow the extension’s supported character rules. Selected accented Latin characters and ß are available for internationalised names.
Is .properties a good choice, and what projects does it suit?
properties is a strong fit when the domain itself should immediately indicate a property focus. It suits estate agencies, developers, landlords, property managers, rental platforms, listing portals, surveyors, and informational projects about buildings or land. Its value is clarity rather than broad familiarity.
When does .properties make more sense than .com?
Choose .properties when a descriptive, sector-specific address is more useful than the broad recognition of .com. It can make a property-focused purpose obvious and may support a more natural name. Choose .com when the brand spans multiple sectors or relies heavily on a familiar, general-purpose ending.
How long does .properties registration take, and how long does it last?
Registration is confirmed after the order has been processed and the requested name is still available; allocation is first come, first served. Once active, the domain remains registered until its recorded expiry date and supports renewal. Check the applicable registration term when placing the order.
How do I transfer a .properties domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .properties domain at your current registrar and obtain its authorisation code. Enter that code when submitting the transfer to host.yt. The process can take several days. After completion, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
