.fyi
A .fyi domain is a generic top-level domain, which means it is open to any type of website. The registry is run by Binky Moon, LLC, and the extension was built around the idea of For Your Information. Its short, slightly playful feel suits information services, help sites, consultants and businesses that share useful updates with their customers.
The registry supports DNSSEC, which helps protect visitors from forged DNS answers. Names can be between 1 and 63 characters long, and internationalised names are allowed. Registrations run in one-year steps, so you can renew for as long as you need. A grace period of 40 days after expiry gives you time to renew the name before it is released.
A .fyi domain is a good fit if you publish guides, offer rewards or vouchers, or want a memorable name that tells visitors where to find information. Before you register, check that the name is short and easy to spell, because people will type it into their browser. Also confirm that your contact details are current, since the registry expects them to stay accurate.
Registration is open to anyone, and you do not need to be based in any particular place.
- Anyone worldwide can register a .fyi domain.
- Your contact details must be accurate when you register.
- You must keep your contact details current for as long as you hold the name.
Renew before the expiry date to keep your name, because the grace period is limited.

- A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
- A successful transfer adds one year to the registration term.
You can change the registrant of your .fyi domain without affecting its expiry date.
