Requirements
Who can register a .here?
- .here is a secure extension: websites on a .here domain only work in browsers over HTTPS. So you'll need an SSL certificate and have to set up HTTPS properly.
- If you register a two-letter name, you promise not to give the impression that you or your business is affiliated with a government or with the operator of a country code extension when that isn't the case.
- Names of the IOC, the Red Cross and international governmental organisations are reserved. You may only register such a name on behalf of that organisation itself.
Good to know when registering
- When you register, you'll first get a separate notice that .here is a secure extension. It explains that you need to set up HTTPS and how to get an SSL certificate.
- Owners of a trademark registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse could apply for priority during the sunrise period. Applications were open from 1 September to 9 November 2026, 15:00 UTC.
- The sunrise is followed by an early access phase in stages, with the final stage running until 17 November 2026, 15:00 UTC. During this phase you pay a higher price, which you won't get back if your application fails.
- From 17 November 2026, 15:00 UTC, anyone can freely register .here.
- A claims period applies from the early access phase onwards. If your name resembles a trademark registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse, you'll receive a notice about it beforehand.
