01 / Overview

What is .christmas?

A .christmas domain is made for seasonal shops, holiday gift guides and church celebration pages. A quick fact: The .christmas extension was first run by Uniregistry and moved to XYZ Registry in 2021.

.christmas is open to everyone. Anyone can register a .christmas domain. You do not need any paperwork, and the domain is usually live within minutes of payment.

A church in Lahore can announce its Christmas service timings and charity drive on a .christmas name. That is the kind of use .christmas is built for.

You can register .christmas for 1 to 10 years at a time. Renew before the expiry date to keep your website and email running. If it expires, there is a redemption window of about 30 days, but the restore fee is higher than a normal renewal.

Moving .christmas to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. New registrations and recent transfers have a 60 day lock. Most transfers finish in 5 to 7 days.
