What is a .fund domain?
.fund is a generic top-level domain for investment funds and fundraising, managed by Binky Moon, LLC and present in the DNS root since 23 April 2014. John Castle, LLC was the first delegee; the string joined Binky Moon in the 2018 transfer and is run by Identity Digital. ICANN classes it as a Category 1 financial string with open entry.
Its zone is DNSSEC-signed, and registration data is served over RDAP rather than a traditional WHOIS server, according to IANA.
Two ways Indian buyers use .fund
Indian .fund names serve either fund managers, where “fund” is a noun, or fundraising campaigns, where it reads as a verb — “help them fund it”. The first group wants credibility with investors; the second wants a short link that is easy to share on WhatsApp.
| Use | Who | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Fund as an institution | Alternative investment fund (AIF) manager | bharatgrowth.fund |
| Angel network or micro-VC | seedcircle.fund | |
| College or alumni endowment | iitbatch.fund | |
| Fund as an action | Medical or education fundraiser | saveriya.fund |
| Community project appeal | villagewell.fund |
.fund domain price and five-year cost
WebJi® prices .fund at ₹9,471 for the first year and ₹11,374 for every renewal, before 18% GST. A fund planning a five-year life should budget ₹54,967 for the name (₹9,471 + 4 × ₹11,374). A one-off appeal usually needs only the first year.
| Extension | Registration | Renewal | Reads as | Order |

Is .fund restricted to SEBI-registered funds?
No. Anyone can register .fund; the registry checks no SEBI, RBI or trust registration. As a Category 1 string, though, its terms require registrants to comply with applicable financial and consumer-protection law and to secure sensitive financial data they collect.
For an Indian fund manager the domain is a name, not a licence. Pooled investment schemes in India operate under SEBI regulation, chit funds under the Chit Funds Act, 1982, and donation appeals under charity and tax law. Show the registration that applies to you on the site.
.fund vs .capital and .in
.fund names one vehicle or one appeal; .capital suits the management firm behind several funds; .in at ₹1,000 a year is the economical choice for an Indian brand site. A manager might run yourfirm.capital as the corporate site and fundone.fund for a single scheme’s investor page.
For a short campaign, consider whether a page on an existing .in site would do the job, since the .fund renewal is ₹11,374 a year if the appeal runs on.
Running a .fund site safely
Investor and donor sites handle money and personal data, so security comes before design. Use an SSL certificate on every page, check SPF and DKIM with the email authentication checker before sending investor updates, and keep registrar lock on. Mailboxes such as investors@yourfund.fund run on business email.
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .fund registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, with Identity Digital Inc. as administrative contact, per IANA. John Castle, LLC received the original delegation in April 2014; the 2018 transfer moved it to Binky Moon.
Can I use a .fund domain for a medical crowdfunding appeal?
Yes. The extension has no purpose test. Be open about who receives the money and how, because the registration terms bind you to consumer-protection law and the registry can act on a fraud complaint.
What does a .fund domain cost over five years?
₹54,967 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹9,471 for the first year plus four renewals at ₹11,374. Shorter terms are possible, from one year upwards.
Does .fund fall under ICANN’s regulated-sector rules?
Yes. ICANN’s 2014 framework lists .fund among financial Category 1 strings with open entry, so safeguards 1 to 3 apply, but no licence is verified at registration.
