.archi registration
.archi is made for architects, architecture studios, practices, publications, portfolios, and projects whose subject should be clear from the address itself. It gives a name an immediate architectural context, whether the site presents a firm, a building portfolio, design research, competitions, or professional commentary. Registration uses the standard process, and available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .archi label may contain from 1 to 63 characters. Because availability determines who can secure a particular name, check the exact wording before preparing branding or launch materials. To transfer an existing .archi domain to host.yt, remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar and request the authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Completion may take several days, and the finished transfer adds one year to the domain’s expiration date. Changing the holder is a separate authenticated process. Validation messages go to both the current holder and the proposed new holder, and both sides must act within five days or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date. This keeps the existing registration term intact during the ownership update.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .archi extension mean?
The .archi extension points directly to architecture and the architectural profession. It is a concise namespace for architects, studios, portfolios, publications, research initiatives, competitions, and building-related projects that want their subject to be recognizable in the domain name.
Who can register a .archi domain?
Anyone may register an available .archi domain through the standard registration process; no special registry application is required. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so eligibility does not reserve a particular name once another registrant has secured it.
Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .archi?
There is no special .archi registration procedure or documentary step. Your requested label must be available, and it must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Standard order and registrant information still needs to be supplied to host.yt when you place the registration.
Is .archi a good choice, and what projects does it suit?
archi is a strong fit when architecture is central to the project rather than a secondary theme. It suits practice websites, professional portfolios, project showcases, architectural media, research, education, events, and competitions. The extension makes the field clear before a visitor opens the site.
When does .archi make more sense than .com?
Choose .archi when architectural relevance is more valuable than broad familiarity: it communicates the site’s focus immediately and can make a specialist identity more explicit. Choose .com when the project serves a wider, cross-industry audience or when users are likely to assume and type the .com address.
How long does .archi registration take, and how long does it last?
archi registrations use the standard ordering process, without a separate registry application stage. Names are awarded first come, first served. At checkout, host.yt shows the registration term available for the selected domain; that chosen term determines the initial registration period and the displayed expiration date.
How do I transfer a .archi domain to host.yt?
Unlock the .archi domain at your current registrar, disable any transfer protection, and obtain its authorization code. Submit the code with your transfer order to host.yt. The process may take several days; once completed, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date.
