What is the .domains extension?

.domains is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc., in the DNS root since 17 December 2013. IANA’s delegation report names Sugar Cross, LLC as the first registry; the string joined Binky Moon in the 2018 transfer that moved 196 Identity Digital extensions under one company.

It is one of the few extensions whose word describes the product of the domain trade itself. That makes it a natural fit for anyone who sells, values, parks or manages names for other people.

Who uses a .domains name in India?

Its natural owners are domain resellers, brokers, portfolio investors and web agencies that bundle domain management with their projects. For them the address doubles as the job description, which helps on a visiting card, a WhatsApp catalogue or a marketplace listing.

Reseller storefronts

A Jaipur or Indore agency selling names under its own brand, for example yourbrand.domains, backed by a domain reseller account.

Portfolio investors

A landing page such as forsale.domains that lists names you hold, with prices and a contact form.

How much does a .domains registration cost over five years?

A .domains name costs ₹4,562 for the first year and ₹4,846 for every renewal at WebJi®, before 18% GST, so five years come to ₹23,946. That sum is ₹4,562 plus four renewals of ₹4,846 (₹19,384). Resellers who hold several names should budget on the renewal figure, because that is what repeats.

Are there any conditions on registering .domains?

There is no eligibility condition: individuals and companies anywhere can register .domains without documents or Indian presence. Using it for a domain business does bring two practical duties. Registrant contacts must be accurate because transfers and renewals are confirmed by email, and names you resell must be registered in the end customer’s name, not yours.

  • Reseller use: selling names needs an accredited registrar or a reseller account; a .domains address alone does not let you register for others.
  • Parking pages: allowed, but pay-per-click pages built on someone else’s trademark break the registry’s acceptable-use policy.
  • Premium strings: one-word names like buy.domains carry a registry price shown before payment.

.domains or .com for a domain-selling business?

Pick .domains when the exact brand is taken in .com or when you want the trade named in the address; keep .com when customers will type the name from memory. The extension gives no search ranking benefit either way. Many resellers hold both and point the .domains name at the .com storefront.

If you are still choosing a brand, run ideas through the domain name generator and confirm ownership history with a WHOIS lookup before paying.

After you register a .domains name

Point the nameservers, publish your storefront or landing page, and keep auto-renew on so a portfolio page never lapses. A lightweight broker site fits on shared hosting; how grace and redemption work is in the domain renewal guide, and existing names can move in through domain transfer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is the registry operator for .domains?

Binky Moon, LLC, administered by Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. The extension was first delegated to Sugar Cross, LLC in December 2013 and has been under Binky Moon since the 2018 portfolio transfer.

Can I start selling domains in India with a .domains website?

The website is only the shop front. To register names for customers you need a reseller account with a registrar; WebJi® offers one with INR billing, and the .domains address then carries your own brand on top of it.

What does .domains cost for five years at WebJi®?

₹23,946 before 18% GST: ₹4,562 for year one plus four renewal years at ₹4,846. A premium name costs more and its price is shown before you pay.

Is .domains a good extension to park names for sale?

It is a clear signal for a single portfolio page listing many names. Keep the individual names on their own extensions and use the .domains site only to present them, take offers and link to escrow.

Is the .domains zone DNSSEC-signed?

Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation for .domains with a DS record published in the root, so your own name can be signed once your DNS host supports it.
