.community registration
.community is intended for associations, member networks, neighbourhood groups, clubs, professional circles, online forums and projects built around shared interests. Registration is open to everyone, with no eligibility test or required affiliation. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A .community label may contain between 1 and 63 characters. The extension also supports a range of accented Latin characters, making it suitable for names used in several European languages. Before ordering, check that the name is available and enter the holder details accurately. To transfer a .community domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer is completed. Changing the registered holder uses a separate authentication process. Confirmation messages are sent to both the current holder and the proposed new holder. Both parties must complete validation within five days, or the request is cancelled. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date. Through host.yt, the domain can also be renewed, configured with DNSSEC, protected with a registrar lock, and used with DNS, email forwarding or web forwarding services.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .community extension mean?
community is a generic domain extension for websites connected with groups, membership, shared interests or collective activity. It gives visitors an immediate indication that the site represents or supports a network of people, whether that is a local association, professional group, club, forum or public initiative.
Who can register a .community domain?
Anyone can register a .community domain. Individuals, businesses, associations, informal groups and public organisations are all eligible, and no connection to a particular type of group is required. Available names are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so earlier valid applications take priority.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .community?
There are no special eligibility conditions or supporting documents required for .community registration. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Accurate holder information is still needed when placing the registration order through host.yt.
Is .community a good choice, and what projects suit it?
community is a strong descriptive choice for associations, neighbourhood initiatives, clubs, member portals, professional networks, support groups, online forums and interest-based projects. It works best when participation or shared identity is central to the website, because the extension communicates that purpose directly in the address.
When does .community make more sense than .com?
community makes more sense when the site’s main purpose is gathering, representing or serving a group. It communicates that focus more clearly than .com. Choose .com when broad commercial familiarity is the priority; choose .community when a descriptive identity matters more than having the conventional business extension.
How quickly is .community registered, and how long does it remain active?
An available .community name is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis after a valid registration request is completed. It remains active until its recorded expiry date and can be renewed. Check the offered term during checkout and manage renewal preferences from your host.yt account.
How do I transfer a .community domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock with your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorisation code. Enter that code when submitting the transfer to host.yt. Completion can take several days. Once finalised, the transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date.
