.vin registration
.vin is made for wine producers, vineyards, merchants, sommeliers, educators, publications, events, and other projects with a clear connection to wine. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. A focused .vin address can communicate the subject of a website before a visitor opens it. It suits commercial brands as well as editorial, educational, community, and personal projects. The extension also supports a selection of internationalized characters used in French, Spanish, and other European languages, including accented letters and ß. To transfer a .vin domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or similar protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and provide it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation messages are sent to the current holder and the intended new holder, and both must complete the process within five days or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. .vin also supports routine management features such as DNS updates, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration, forwarding, registrar locking, and privacy preferences.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .vin extension mean?
vin refers to the French word meaning wine. The extension gives vineyards, wineries, merchants, sommeliers, publications, educators, events, and enthusiasts a web address that immediately signals a wine-related purpose, regardless of the language used on the website itself.
Who can register a .vin domain?
Anyone can register a .vin domain. There are no location, profession, industry-membership, or organizational eligibility conditions. Registration is available to individuals and organizations, with available names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .vin?
No eligibility documents are required because .vin is open to everyone. The requested name must be available and contain between 1 and 63 characters. Registration is first come, first served, so an available name is not reserved until the registration is successfully completed.
Is .vin a good choice, and what projects does it suit?
vin is a strong fit when wine is central to the project. It works well for wineries, vineyards, retailers, importers, tasting events, wine clubs, education, reviews, tourism, and personal collections. Its purpose is clearer than a general extension for visitors encountering the address.
When does .vin make more sense than .com?
Choose .vin when immediate wine relevance matters more than universal familiarity. It makes a brand’s subject clear and can support a specialized identity. Choose .com when the project covers many unrelated products or services, or when recognition among a broad, general audience is the priority.
How quickly is a .vin domain registered, and how long does registration last?
A .vin name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after a valid registration request is processed. Select from the registration terms currently offered by host.yt during checkout. Renew the domain before its displayed expiration date to keep the registration active.
How do I transfer a .vin domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock at your current registrar, request the domain’s authorization code, and submit that code with your transfer order at host.yt. The process may take several days. After the transfer is completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date.
