What is a .graphics domain?
.graphics is an open generic top-level domain for graphic design and visual production work, managed by Binky Moon, LLC within Identity Digital. IANA shows it active in the root since 14 November 2013, which places it among the first new-programme extensions. Binky Moon became manager in the March 2018 transfer of 196 extensions.
The registry describes its market as web design firms, freelance designers and graphic artists. For an Indian studio, the ending puts the trade in the address. A visitor reading yourstudio.graphics knows what you sell before the page opens.

Print and signage shops
Flex, vinyl, visiting cards and wedding-card design houses that take orders online.

What do you need to register .graphics?
Nothing beyond accurate contact details and payment: .graphics has no portfolio, qualification or business-registration test. Students, freelancers and incorporated studios register on the same terms.
- Term: 1 to 10 years.
- Registrant: a person or an organisation. A freelancer can register in their own name and move it to a company later.
- Invoice: INR with 18% GST. Agencies can add a GSTIN and claim input credit.
- Client projects: if you register a name for a client, put the client as registrant so ownership is never in doubt.
.graphics vs .design, .ink and .agency: which suits your studio?
Choose .graphics for a studio focused on visual and print output, .design for a broader design practice, and .agency when you also sell marketing services. Clients judge the portfolio, not the extension, and search engines give no preference to any of them.
Price matters for freelancers. .graphics renews at ₹3,524 a year less than .design. .agency is cheapest in year one but suggests a team rather than a solo designer. If you work mostly for Indian SMEs, a .in name at ₹1,000 a year is also a sensible main address.
Hosting a design portfolio on .graphics
Portfolios are image-heavy, so compressed images and quick hosting do more for clients than any domain choice. A WordPress or static portfolio runs on shared hosting. Large show reels are better embedded than self-hosted, and briefs@yourstudio.graphics works through business email. To compare logo ideas before you build, try the logo maker.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is the registry operator for .graphics?
IANA lists Binky Moon, LLC, care of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. The zone has been active since 14 November 2013. Binky Moon took it over in the March 2018 transfer of .academy and 195 related extensions.
Will clients trust a .graphics address?
Design buyers are usually comfortable with descriptive endings, and many remember them more easily than a long .com. Make sure the mailbox works on the same name and send proposals from it. A consistent address on invoices and decks matters more than the extension.
What does a .graphics domain cost over four years?
₹11,792 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹2,861 for the first year and three renewals at ₹2,977. The same four years on .design come to ₹25,186.
Can I register .graphics for a client and transfer it later?
Yes, but it is cleaner to list the client as registrant from day one. A later ownership change is possible. Under ICANN rules, a registrant change can trigger a 60-day transfer lock, which may delay a move to another registrar.
Is the .graphics zone DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. IANA publishes a DS record for .graphics, so the zone is signed. You can sign your own domain once your DNS provider supports it.
