What is a .clothing domain?
.clothing is an open gTLD for apparel brands and garment sellers, managed by Binky Moon, LLC of Identity Digital and among the earliest new extensions, delegated on 6 November 2013. Steel Lake, LLC held it first; it moved to Binky Moon in the 2018 transfer of 196 strings. The zone is DNSSEC-signed.

The registry describes its market as online retailers, department stores and designers. That is broad enough to cover a single Instagram label and a garment exporter alike.
Who in India’s garment trade registers .clothing?
India’s apparel trade is spread across clusters, and each produces natural .clothing buyers: Surat for sarees and dress material, Tiruppur for knitwear, Ludhiana for woollens and hosiery, Jaipur for block prints. Add the D2C labels selling through Instagram and WhatsApp catalogues, and the extension has a large audience that wants a short, category-clear store address.
- Saree or dress-material wholesaler: suratsarees.clothing for catalogue PDFs and minimum-order terms.
- Knitwear exporter: tirupurknits.clothing for buyer enquiries, size charts and compliance documents.
- Block-print kurta label: indigohands.clothing for a Shopify or WooCommerce storefront.
- School and corporate uniform supplier: schooluniforms.clothing for bulk quotes and fabric swatches.
- Designer or tailoring studio: yourname.clothing for lookbooks and fitting appointments.

Are there rules for registering .clothing?
No eligibility rules apply: a manufacturer, reseller, designer or individual can register .clothing with standard contact details and no documents. The obligations that do apply belong to the store. Online sellers in India must show the declarations required under the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, such as MRP and country of origin, and a GSTIN once turnover crosses the registration threshold.
- Trademarks: avoid other labels’ brand names; disputes go through UDRP.
- Invoice: add your GSTIN to the domain order if you want input credit.
- Ownership: register to the business, not to the agency that builds the store.
.clothing vs .boutique and .in: choosing for an apparel brand
.clothing is the literal choice for wholesalers and exporters, .boutique suits a small label that sells a curated look, and .in is the safest when shoppers are price-sensitive Indians who trust local endings. None ranks higher by default. A useful pattern is to keep the main store on .in or .com and use a .clothing name in export catalogues, where overseas buyers scan for the product category.
Opening a store on .clothing
A garment store needs product variants for size and colour, fast image loading and payment gateways, so start on hosting built for carts. WebJi® e-commerce hosting runs WooCommerce and similar platforms, and the e-commerce website cost guide breaks down a realistic build budget. Retail-specific support is outlined on the e-commerce and retail page. For renewals and transfers see the renewal guide; other endings are on domain registration India.
Frequently asked questions
Which registry is responsible for .clothing?
Binky Moon, LLC, part of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, manages .clothing according to IANA. It also runs .boutique and .style, so fashion brands that collect several endings deal with one set of policies.
Is .clothing a good domain for a saree business?
It works well for wholesalers and exporters, where the category matters more than the brand. A retail saree label targeting Indian shoppers often does better with a .in and a memorable brand word, using .clothing as a redirect.
What is the three-year price of a .clothing name?
₹14,254 before 18% GST at WebJi®, calculated as ₹4,562 for the first year and ₹4,846 for each of the next two. Premium labels have their own price and renewal.
Can I connect a .clothing domain to Shopify or Instagram?
Yes. Point the domain’s DNS records at Shopify, WooCommerce or any store platform, and put the URL in your Instagram bio. The extension works with every platform that accepts a custom domain.
How long has .clothing existed?
Since 6 November 2013, when IANA delegated it to Steel Lake, LLC. That makes it one of the first new gTLDs to go live; Binky Moon, LLC has managed it since 2018.
