.app registration
.app is designed for application developers, software companies, product teams, and businesses that want a domain clearly associated with an application. Every .app domain must use HTTPS because the registry requires secure connections. You may register a name defensively, but it will not work properly in web browsers until a valid SSL/TLS certificate is installed. A .app name can contain between 1 and 63 characters. Once registered, it can support a product website, web application, download page, developer portal, or documentation hub. The extension immediately communicates that the address relates to software, helping users distinguish an application-focused service from a general corporate website. To transfer a .app domain to host.yt, first disable the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer is finalized. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders. Each party receives a validation email, and the request must be approved within five days or it is cancelled. This holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. DNSSEC, DNS management, renewal, restoration, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences are among the supported domain operations.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .app extension mean?
app is a domain extension associated with applications and software. It gives visitors an immediate indication that the website belongs to a mobile application, web application, software platform, developer tool, or related digital product. It can also serve as a focused address for downloads, documentation, or product support.
Who can register a .app domain?
app registration is open to individuals, developers, teams, and organizations. There is no requirement to belong to a particular country or industry. The chosen label must be available, contain between 1 and 63 characters, and comply with the registry’s technical requirements.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .app?
No special supporting documents are required for a standard .app registration. The important operational restriction is HTTPS: browsers require a valid SSL/TLS certificate when accessing a .app website. You can hold the domain without launching a site, but it must be secured before active web use.
Is .app a good choice, and what projects suit it?
app is well suited to mobile applications, web applications, SaaS products, software tools, release pages, documentation portals, and developer services. It is particularly useful when the domain should communicate the product type immediately. Plan for HTTPS setup from the beginning because secure access is mandatory.
When does .app make more sense than .com?
app makes more sense when the primary identity is a software product and you want the domain itself to signal that purpose. .com is broader and may suit a company with several unrelated activities. The trade-off is focus: .app is clearer for software, while .com is more category-neutral.
How quickly is a .app domain registered, and how long does it last?
Registration begins after you select an available name and complete the order with host.yt. The confirmed registration term and expiry date are recorded with the domain, and the name can be renewed before expiry. Install a valid SSL/TLS certificate before using the domain for a public website.
How do I transfer a .app domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at the current registrar, obtain the domain authorization code, and submit it with your transfer order to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date, so the domain’s remaining registration time is preserved.
