What is a .apartments domain?
.apartments is a generic top-level domain for residential buildings and flats, run by Binky Moon, LLC, an Identity Digital registry company. It entered the root on 10 February 2015 under its first operator, June Maple, LLC, and moved to Binky Moon in March 2018. Anyone may register it, and the zone carries a DNSSEC-secured delegation.

Who uses .apartments in Indian real estate?
The natural buyers are developers launching a named residential project, serviced-apartment and co-living operators, and housing societies. In Indian property marketing the project name usually matters more than the builder’s name, so a dedicated address such as greenmeadows.apartments gives each tower or phase its own landing page.
| Buyer | Example | What the site does |
|---|---|---|
| Developer, single project | skyline-phase2.apartments | Floor plans, price sheet, site-visit booking |
| Serviced apartments | bkc-stays.apartments | Nightly and monthly bookings for business travellers |
| Co-living brand | studentnest.apartments | Room listings near colleges and tech parks |
| Resident welfare association | palmgrove.apartments | Notices, maintenance dues, amenity booking |
| Rental broker | flatsinnoida.apartments | Listings by locality and budget |
.apartments domain price in India
WebJi® charges ₹9,471 for the first year of a .apartments domain and ₹11,374 for each renewal, before 18% GST. Three years cost ₹32,219 before tax (₹9,471 + ₹11,374 + ₹11,374), so it makes most sense for a project with a marketing budget, not a single flat listing.
| Extension | Registration (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Reads as |

| .apartments | 9,471 | 11,374 | A residential building or flat complex |
| .properties | 4,562 | 4,846 | A broker or mixed portfolio |
| .rentals | 4,562 | 4,846 | Lettings and short stays |

What rules apply to a .apartments website in India?
The registry sets no eligibility test, but Indian property law does: a project advertised online must follow the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. In practice that means showing the project’s state RERA registration number and the RERA website address on promotional pages, alongside the developer’s own details.
- Registry: no documents, no builder licence, first come, first served.
- Ownership: register to the developer company, not the marketing agency, so the name survives a change of agency.
- Project lifespan: keep the domain renewed until possession and handover are complete, as buyers return to it for updates.
.apartments or a cheaper property extension?
Use .apartments for a named residential project where the address will appear on hoardings and brochures; use .properties or .estate for a brokerage that sells many types of property. At less than half the yearly cost, those two suit agents with many listings. The extension has no direct effect on Google rankings.
Building the project site
A .apartments project site works with any host; most developers start with WordPress and a lead form. WordPress hosting handles brochure downloads and enquiry forms, and the real-estate website development guide covers what buyers expect to see. All extensions WebJi® sells are on domain registration India.
Frequently asked questions
Which company runs the .apartments registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, with Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, as administrative contact. The same registry runs .villas, .condos and .rentals, so policies across these property extensions are identical.
Should a builder register one .apartments domain per project?
For large launches, often yes: each project gets a memorable address for ads and site boards. Smaller builders can instead run one .apartments brand domain with a page per project to keep renewals at a single ₹11,374 a year.
Can a housing society or RWA buy a .apartments name?
Yes. A registered society can hold it in the society’s name. Given the ₹9,471 opening price, many societies compare it with cheaper .in options before deciding; the registry imposes no membership check either way.
What does .apartments cost over five years?
₹54,967 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹9,471 for the first year plus four renewals at ₹11,374. Premium words cost more and show their price before payment.
