.codes registration
.codes is an open domain extension for developers, software teams, code repositories, programming communities, technical documentation, and businesses built around digital products. Anyone may register a .codes domain without meeting eligibility conditions or submitting proof of professional status. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .codes name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized names using selected Latin characters, including accented letters, æ, œ, ñ, ß, and several other characters used in French, Spanish, and related languages. This allows projects to use familiar local spelling where supported. To transfer an existing .codes domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must also request the domain’s authorization code and provide it when placing the transfer order. Completion can take several days. Once finalized, the transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiry date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the intended new holder, and each must complete the required confirmation. If the authentication process is not completed within five days, the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.

Its meaning is immediately relevant to technical audiences, although projects aimed at a broad nontechnical market may benefit from a more familiar extension.
When does .codes make more sense than .com?

How quickly is a .codes domain registered, and how long does it last?

Disable the registrar lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date after completion.
