.sc registration
.sc is the country-code domain extension for Seychelles. It suits businesses, organizations, tourism services, local initiatives, and online projects that want a clear connection with the country. Registration is open and names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, without a special application procedure. A .sc name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. Before ordering, check that the wording is easy to type, suitable for your audience, and available for registration. A concise name can support a Seychelles-focused website, campaign, service, or regional brand while keeping its purpose immediately recognizable. To transfer an existing .sc domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or protection at the current registrar. You must then request the domain’s authorization code and provide it when placing the transfer order. The registry process can take several days, so it is sensible to begin before the domain approaches its expiry date. A completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s current expiry date. host.yt also supports ongoing domain management, including renewals, contact and owner updates, nameserver changes, DNSSEC configuration, DNS records, forwarding, registrar locking, automatic-renewal preferences, restoration, and host management. If the domain holder must be changed, contact host.yt for the applicable trade or ownership-transfer procedure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .sc extension stand for?
sc is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Seychelles. It gives websites a recognizable national connection and is commonly relevant to Seychellois businesses, tourism services, organizations, community initiatives, and other projects that want their relationship with Seychelles reflected directly in their web address.
Who can register a .sc domain?
sc registration is open, with available names allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Choose an available label between 1 and 63 characters, submit the registration through host.yt, and ensure that your intended use and chosen name respect applicable rights and laws.
Are documents or special requirements needed to register .sc?
No special registration procedure or supporting-document step applies to a standard .sc registration. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 1 and 63 characters. Allocation follows the order in which valid registration requests are received.
Is .sc a good choice, and what projects suit it?
sc is a practical choice for projects with a genuine Seychelles connection, including local companies, tourism operators, public-facing services, associations, and regional campaigns. It can also help an international organization separate its Seychelles content from its broader global website.
When does .sc make more sense than .com?
Choose .sc when a Seychelles identity or locally focused audience is central to the project; the extension communicates that connection directly. Choose .com when the brand is primarily global and country-neutral. The trade-off is stronger geographic relevance with .sc versus broader international familiarity with .com.
How quickly is .sc registered, and how long does registration last?
Registration processing begins after a valid order is submitted, and host.yt confirms the domain once the registry completes the request. The available registration term and resulting expiry date are displayed during ordering and in the domain details, allowing renewals to be planned before expiration.
How do I transfer a .sc domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, then obtain the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with your transfer order to host.yt. Completion may take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date after the transfer succeeds.
