.hiv registration
.hiv is an open domain extension for projects connected with HIV awareness, education, prevention, research, treatment, care, advocacy, fundraising, or community support. Anyone may register a .hiv domain without meeting eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .hiv name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension supports internationalized domain names using a broad selection of accented Latin characters, Cyrillic letters, and the German ß. This allows organizations and communities to use familiar local-language spelling in their web address. To transfer a .hiv domain to host.yt, first disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must also obtain the domain’s authorization code. The transfer can take several days to complete, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date after completion. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation emails 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. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. .hiv also supports routine domain management such as renewal, DNS changes, DNSSEC, privacy preferences, redirects, email forwarding, restoration, and registrar locking.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .hiv extension stand for?
hiv refers to human immunodeficiency virus. It gives a web address an immediate connection to HIV awareness, education, care, advocacy, research, prevention, or fundraising. This clear association helps visitors recognize the website’s subject before opening it.
Who can register a .hiv domain?
Anyone can register an available .hiv domain. The registry does not limit registration to healthcare providers, charities, researchers, or advocacy groups. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability at the time of registration is decisive.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .hiv?
There are no special eligibility conditions or supporting-document requirements for .hiv registration. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and must be available. Standard registration details must still be supplied accurately when placing the order with host.yt.
Is .hiv a good choice, and what projects suit it?
hiv is a focused choice for HIV-related education, prevention, testing, treatment, research, advocacy, fundraising, and community services. Its meaning is immediately recognizable, making it useful when a project benefits from declaring its subject directly in the domain name.
When does .hiv make more sense than .com?
hiv makes more sense when HIV is central to the project and immediate subject recognition matters more than broad commercial familiarity. .com is more neutral and familiar for general-purpose organizations, while .hiv provides a precise identity but may be less suitable if the project later expands beyond HIV-related work.
How quickly is .hiv registered, and how long does registration last?
A .hiv name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration can proceed while the requested domain remains available and the order is accepted. The completed registration includes a defined expiry date; renew the domain before that date to keep it active.
How do I transfer a .hiv domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order at host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer finishes, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
