About the .YT domain
What is the .YT domain?
Registration is open to any individual residing, or entity headquartered or operating, anywhere within the wider European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland — the same broadened eligibility framework that applies to other French overseas ccTLDs, such as .pm, .re, or .wf: an individual residing in any EU member state, or in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Iceland, can register a domain under any of the ccTLDs managed by AFNIC. Assignment is carried out through AFNIC-accredited registrars, on a strict first-come, first-served basis. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters.
Registration is open to individuals residing, or entities headquartered or operating, within the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
