.horse registration
.horse is designed for the equestrian world: breeders, riding schools, trainers, clubs, competition organizers, veterinarians, equipment retailers, and horse-focused publications. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility condition. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so completing registration promptly matters when a name is important to your brand. A .horse name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports selected international characters used in German, Spanish, and French, making it suitable for names and terms written in those languages. A clear, relevant label can immediately connect a website with horses, riding, care, sport, or breeding. To transfer an existing .horse domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when the transfer is finalized. Changing the registered holder follows a separate authentication process. Confirmation emails are sent to both the current holder and the intended new holder. Both parties must validate the change within five days, or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date. Through host.yt, .horse domains can also use standard management functions such as DNS changes, DNSSEC, renewal, restoration, registrar locking, privacy preferences, and forwarding.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .horse extension mean?
The .horse extension gives a domain an immediate equestrian meaning. It suits websites connected with horses, riding, breeding, training, racing, veterinary care, equipment, events, or education. The word is descriptive rather than an eligibility category, so using .horse does not require membership in an equestrian organization.
Who can register a .horse domain?
Anyone can register a .horse domain. The registry imposes no profession, location, membership, or industry requirement. Individuals, businesses, associations, and other organizations may apply. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the requested domain is available when registration is processed.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .horse?
There are no special eligibility documents or horse-industry credentials required for .horse registration. A domain label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Selected accented characters used in German, Spanish, and French are supported, allowing certain personal names, place names, and equestrian terms to retain their native spelling.
Is .horse a good choice, and what projects suit it?
horse is a strong fit when the project is clearly equestrian. It can give riding schools, breeders, trainers, clubs, event organizers, tack shops, rescue groups, veterinarians, and specialist publishers an immediately recognizable address. It is less suitable when horses are only a minor or temporary part of the project.
When does .horse make more sense than .com?
horse makes more sense when immediate subject recognition matters more than broad familiarity. It tells visitors that the website is equestrian before they open it and may offer a clearer naming option. .com remains more familiar and flexible for general businesses, especially brands that may later expand beyond horse-related services.
How long does .horse registration take, and how long does it last?
A .horse registration is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after successful processing, so the name is secured only once host.yt confirms completion. The applicable registration term is recorded with the order. When an existing .horse domain is transferred to host.yt, one year is added to its expiry date.
How do I transfer a .horse domain to host.yt?
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. Once finalized, the domain’s expiry date is extended by one year.
