.cafe registration

.cafe is designed for coffee shops, roasters, bakeries, food venues, hospitality businesses, reviewers, communities, and anyone building a project around café culture. Registration is open to individuals and organizations worldwide, with no eligibility conditions. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration matters when a name fits your brand. A .cafe name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports internationalized domain names with many Latin, French, and Spanish characters, including accents, ligatures, ñ, ß, and other supported characters. This makes it possible to register names that reflect local spelling while keeping the purpose of the website immediately clear. To transfer an existing .cafe domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the authorization code. A transfer can take several days to complete, and one year is added to the domain’s expiry date when it finishes. Changing the registered holder is a separate authenticated process: confirmation emails are sent to both the current and future holders, and the request is cancelled if it is not validated within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiration date.

Frequently asked questions

What does the .cafe extension mean?

The .cafe extension identifies websites connected with cafés, coffee, food, hospitality, or café culture. It can give visitors immediate context before they open the site, making it suitable for a café’s official website, a coffee brand, a local directory, or an industry publication.

Who can register a .cafe domain?

Anyone can register a .cafe domain. It is open to individuals, companies, associations, and other organizations worldwide, without location, profession, or industry requirements. Names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, provided the requested domain is still available.

Are there registration restrictions or required documents for .cafe?

There are no eligibility conditions or supporting documents required to register a .cafe domain. The chosen label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Supported internationalized characters include various Latin, French, and Spanish letters, allowing names with accents and certain special characters.

Is .cafe a good choice, and what projects suit it?

cafe is a clear choice for coffee shops, roasters, bakeries, food venues, café guides, hospitality projects, and communities centered on coffee culture. It communicates the site’s subject directly, which is useful when the domain name should also explain the business or project.

When does .cafe make more sense than .com?

Choose .cafe when a strong connection to cafés or coffee is central to the project and you want the address to communicate that focus immediately. Choose .com for a broader business that may expand well beyond this theme. .cafe offers sharper positioning, while .com offers greater category flexibility.

How quickly is a .cafe domain registered, and how long does it last?

Registration follows a first-come, first-served process, and the name is secured after the registry accepts the order. The available registration term and resulting expiry date are displayed during checkout at host.yt. Review those details before submitting the order and renew the domain before its expiry date.

How do I transfer a .cafe domain to host.yt?

Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then request the domain’s authorization code and submit it to host.yt. Completion may take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the existing expiry date of the .cafe domain.
