What is a .exposed domain?
.exposed is an open generic top-level domain built for revealing things — investigations, scam alerts, behind-the-scenes content — run by Binky Moon, LLC and delegated on 4 February 2014. Victor Beach, LLC was the original registry; Binky Moon, part of Identity Digital, has managed it since March 2018. The zone is DNSSEC-signed and accepts Latin-script names only.

Who uses .exposed in India?
Two very different groups: people who uncover things (journalists, fact-checkers, consumer activists) and people for whom “exposed” is a craft term (photographers, interior and architecture studios). The registry’s own pitch covers tabloids, spoiler sites and investigative journalism; the craft reading is the one most Indian buyers overlook.
- Scam-alert and consumer-awareness sites: loanappscams.exposed listing fraudulent apps and how to report them.
- Independent investigative reporters: tenderfiles.exposed for RTI-based reporting.
- Fact-check projects: viralclaims.exposed for debunks of forwarded messages.
- Long-exposure and astro photographers: milkyway.exposed for a portfolio of night skies over Ladakh or Spiti.
- Interior studios known for exposed brick and concrete: bareconcrete.exposed for café and loft projects.

What legal care does a .exposed site need in India?
Registering .exposed needs no documents, but publishing accusations under it carries real legal exposure. Defamation is both a civil wrong and a criminal offence in India (Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), and naming a person or company in the address itself can be cited as evidence of intent.
- Keep names generic: fakejobs.exposed rather than a named company.
- Source every claim: documents, RTI replies, court records, screenshots with dates.
- Offer right of reply: publish a contact for corrections and act on it.
- Mind trademarks: a brand name in the domain can trigger a UDRP complaint.
.exposed or .report for an investigative site?
Use .exposed when the project’s voice is campaigning and you want the address to provoke a click; use .report when you want institutions and readers to see it as sober research. Both cost the same at WebJi®, and neither affects search ranking. A news outlet that publishes daily may prefer .press despite the higher price.
Hosting and protecting a .exposed site
Watchdog sites attract hostile traffic, so put the .exposed site behind DDoS filtering and keep off-site backups. WebJi® offers DDoS protection and website security services; WHOIS privacy keeps a personal address out of public lookups, as the privacy guide explains.
Frequently asked questions
Will WHOIS privacy hide my identity completely on .exposed?
It hides your contact details from public lookups, but the registrar and registry still hold the true data and can be required to disclose it under a valid legal order. Privacy protects against harassment, not against lawful process.
Can the registry take down a .exposed domain over a complaint?
The registry acts on abuse such as phishing, malware or fraud. Disputes over the content of an article usually go to the courts or to the hosting provider rather than the registry, while trademark disputes go through UDRP or URS.
When did .exposed launch?
IANA delegated it on 4 February 2014 to Victor Beach, LLC, a Donuts registry company. It has been under Binky Moon, LLC since the March 2018 transfer that covered 196 extensions.
Is .exposed suitable for a photography portfolio?
Yes. “Exposure” is basic photography vocabulary, so a night-sky or long-exposure photographer can use names such as startrails.exposed. At ₹2,861 for the first year it costs about the same as many portfolio extensions.
