.direct registration
.direct is an open domain extension for businesses, services, campaigns, and resources built around a clear route to action. It suits booking pages, sales channels, official contact points, delivery services, directories, and other projects where visitors should immediately understand that the website offers a direct connection or next step. Anyone may register a .direct domain without meeting eligibility conditions or providing evidence of a particular location, profession, or organization type. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so a successful registration depends on the requested domain still being available when the order is processed. If you already own a .direct domain, you can transfer it to host.yt after removing the registrar transfer lock and obtaining the authorization code from your current registrar. A transfer can take several days to complete. Once finalized, one year is added to the domain’s existing expiration date. A .direct domain can contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports selected internationalized Latin characters, including accented letters used in French and Spanish, as well as characters such as ß. This allows many names to reflect their intended spelling while keeping the purpose of the address concise and recognizable.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .direct extension mean?
direct suggests a clear route, immediate connection, or straightforward action. It can reinforce names used for customer access, reservations, sales, contact pages, directories, transport, delivery, and direct-to-consumer services. The meaning comes from the ordinary English word rather than from a geographic designation.
Who can register a .direct domain?
Anyone can register a .direct domain. There are no eligibility conditions based on residence, nationality, business status, profession, or organization type. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration priority goes to the applicant whose valid order is processed first.
Does .direct have registration restrictions or require documents?
direct registration does not require supporting documents or proof that you belong to a particular sector. The main naming constraint is length: the label before .direct must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected accented Latin characters and additional characters such as ß are also supported.
Is .direct a good choice, and what projects suit it?
direct is a practical choice when the domain should communicate immediate access or a clear next step. It fits direct sales, booking portals, official contact channels, customer-service pages, directories, delivery services, campaign destinations, and branded links that send visitors to a specific action or resource.
When does .direct make more sense than .com?
direct makes more sense when the wording strengthens a focused service, action, or access point and produces a shorter, more descriptive address. .com remains more broadly familiar and neutral for a primary corporate site. Choose .direct when semantic clarity matters more than relying on the conventional recognition of .com.
How quickly is a .direct domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .direct name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so availability must remain unchanged until the registration is processed. The applicable registration term is confirmed with the order at host.yt. Renewal is required before the resulting expiration date if you want to keep the domain active.
How do I transfer a .direct domain to host.yt?
First, disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. Then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with your transfer order to host.yt. Completion may take several days. After the transfer finishes, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date.
