.cyou Domain Registrationfrom £26.68/yr
Why Choose a .cyou Domain?
The .cyou extension is short for "see you" and was launched in 2020 by ShortDot SA, the same registry behind .icu and .bond. It was designed for Generation Z creators, social media personalities, and digital natives who want a short, expressive domain that reads as a casual sign-off. The two-syllable structure works well for personal brands, link-in-bio pages, and anything where a friendly, conversational URL beats a corporate one.
Ideal for:
- Content creators and influencers building a personal hub
- Link-in-bio landing pages for TikTok and Instagram
- Gen Z brands and youth-focused startups
- Event invites, RSVPs, and meet-up pages
- Portfolio sites for designers, photographers, and freelancers
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .cyou domain
- Operated by ShortDot SA, which also runs .icu, .bond, and .sbs
- Some short or dictionary-word .cyou names are classified as premium and carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry
- Launched in March 2020, so most short and meaningful names are still available

Frequently asked questions about .cyou
Anyone, anywhere in the world. There are no eligibility restrictions, residency requirements, or trade documents needed. Individuals, businesses, charities, and organisations can all register a .cyou domain on a first-come, first-served basis, making it a flexible choice for personal brands and global projects alike.
You can register a .cyou domain for between one and ten years at a time. Most customers start with a one or two year term and renew as needed, but locking in a longer registration up front can be worthwhile for established brands that want to secure the name and reduce admin.
Yes. If you already own a .cyou domain elsewhere, you can transfer it to us provided the domain is at least 60 days old, unlocked at the current registrar, and you have the EPP authorisation code. The transfer extends your registration by an additional year from the current expiry date.
Yes. The ShortDot registry classifies certain short, premium, or high-demand .cyou names at higher tiers, which means both the registration and renewal fees are above the standard rate. Our domain search will show the exact live price for any name you check before you commit to buying it.
After expiry there is a grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. After that the domain enters a redemption phase with a higher recovery fee, and eventually drops back into the available pool. We send renewal reminders by email, and auto-renew can be enabled to avoid losing the name.
