What is a .gratis domain?
.gratis is an open generic top-level domain whose word means "free of charge", managed by Binky Moon, LLC under Identity Digital. IANA records its delegation to Pioneer Tigers, LLC on 21 April 2014, with the zone live from 23 April 2014. Binky Moon took over in March 2018.
The word is shared by many languages. It means free in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and Dutch, and English dictionaries carry it too. That makes .gratis an unusually multilingual ending for one specific promise: this costs nothing.

When does an Indian business use a .gratis name?
Use .gratis for a page whose whole offer is free: a trial, a sample, a free course module, a giveaway or an open-source tool, especially for European or Latin American visitors. For Indian visitors the word is less familiar, so test it before building a domestic campaign on it.

| SaaS start-up selling in Spain or Mexico | Free plan sign-up | yourapp.gratis |

Are there rules on what a .gratis site can offer?
The registry sets no eligibility test and does not require the content to be free, but a .gratis name that leads to a paid checkout breaks the visitor's trust. Anyone can register with accurate contacts. Abuse such as phishing or malware is handled under the registry's acceptable-use policy.
- Match the promise: keep the free item free and state any later paid upgrade plainly.
- Consumer law: "free" offers in India and the EU must not hide charges. Show terms on the landing page.
- Language: pair the name with copy in the language whose word you are using.
- Term: 1–10 years. Renew evergreen offers for several years at once.
.gratis vs .deals, .discount and a page on your own site
Choose .gratis only when the offer is fully free; use .deals or .discount when the price is reduced, and a page on your main domain when the offer is short-lived. A subpage such as yourbrand.in/free-trial keeps the search authority you already have, while a separate domain starts from zero.
A .gratis domain earns its cost in printed ads, podcast mentions and social posts. There a short, memorable "free" address is easy to type, and it can redirect to the offer page on your main site.
Launching a .gratis landing page
A free-offer page needs fast loading and a sign-up form that delivers email reliably. A single landing page fits static site hosting or shared hosting. Confirmation mail should go through business email with SPF and DKIM set. To redirect the name to an existing page instead, a 301 at your DNS or host is enough.
Frequently asked questions
Is a .gratis domain itself free?
No. The name describes your offer, not the domain's price. At WebJi® a .gratis registration costs ₹2,861 for the first year and ₹2,977 a year after that, before 18% GST.
Which registry operates .gratis?
Binky Moon, LLC, part of Identity Digital, is the IANA-listed manager. Pioneer Tigers, LLC held the original April 2014 delegation, and Binky Moon took over in the March 2018 transfer of 196 extensions.
Will Indian customers understand the word gratis?
Some will, since the word appears in English, but it is far more familiar in Spanish- and German-speaking markets. For Indian campaigns a page on your .in site, or a plain English "free" in the label such as freetrial.gratis, usually reads more clearly.
Can I point a .gratis name at a page on my main website?
Yes. Set a 301 redirect from the .gratis name to the offer page. The short address works in ads and print, and the main domain keeps the search value. You can change the target whenever the offer changes.
Is .gratis signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. The .gratis zone has a secure delegation at the root. Landing pages that collect sign-ups can use DNSSEC on their own zone once their DNS host supports it.
