What is a .healthcare domain?
.healthcare is an unrestricted generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC, the Identity Digital registry company in Bellevue, Washington. IANA shows it live in the root since 30 July 2014, two days after its delegation report to Silver Glen, LLC. Binky Moon took it over on 23 March 2018 in the transfer of .academy and 195 other extensions.

The word is long — ten letters after the dot — so a .healthcare address works best with a short brand in front of it, such as ramaclinic.healthcare rather than a descriptive phrase.
Who in Indian healthcare uses a .healthcare domain?
The extension suits organisations that deliver or manage care at scale — hospital groups, diagnostic chains, health-tech platforms and benefit administrators — more than a single doctor’s practice. A one-doctor clinic is usually better served by a cheaper, shorter name.
Diagnostic and pathology chain
Test menus, home sample collection and report downloads across branches.
Teleconsultation platform
A booking and video-consult product where the category word builds trust.
Health insurance TPA or broker
Cashless network lists and claim guidance for policyholders.
Corporate wellness provider
Employee health-check programmes sold to HR departments.
Medical-equipment distributor
Catalogues for hospitals and nursing homes, with tender enquiry forms.
What is the price of a .healthcare domain in India?
At WebJi®, .healthcare costs ₹9,471 to register and ₹11,374 each year after, before 18% GST. Over three years that is ₹32,219 before tax (₹9,471 + 2 × ₹11,374), so it is a budget item for an organisation, not a casual add-on.

Does .healthcare need a medical registration or hospital licence?
No. The .healthcare registry checks no NMC registration, Clinical Establishments Act licence or NABH accreditation before a name is issued. Anyone can hold one, which is also why patients cannot assume a .healthcare site is a verified provider.
The responsibility moves to the content. Indian medical-ethics rules on how doctors may publicise themselves, and the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines for online consultations, apply to what the site says regardless of the domain. Show registration numbers and accreditation on the page if you have them.
- Registrant: register to the hospital or company, not to an employee who may leave.
- Mailbox: use a shared role address so renewal notices are not lost.
- Abuse policy: fake pharmacies and miracle-cure claims breach the registry’s acceptable-use rules and can lead to suspension.
.healthcare vs .clinic, .care and .in — which fits your organisation?
Choose .healthcare for a group or platform that spans services, .clinic for a single treatment location, .care when the service is looking after people, and .in when Indian patients are the whole market. Domain extensions carry no ranking weight, so let patient recall and the renewal budget decide.
A practical pattern for hospital groups is a short .in name as the main site, with the brand on .healthcare redirecting to it to protect the name. A physiotherapy or diet practice may also look at .fitness, and surgeons at .surgery.
Hosting and email for a .healthcare site
Patient-facing .healthcare sites need HTTPS on every page, appointment forms that do not email health data in plain text, and reliable mail. WebJi® covers hosting and mail through WordPress hosting and business email; the hospital website hosting guide covers sizing, and the sector page on healthcare and pharma websites lists what WebJi® builds.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is the registry operator for .healthcare?
Binky Moon, LLC, administered by Identity Digital Inc. of Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. The extension was originally delegated to Silver Glen, LLC in 2014 and has been under Binky Moon since March 2018.
Is a .healthcare website automatically trusted by patients or Google?
No. Because registration is open, the extension proves nothing about credentials. Trust comes from named doctors with registration numbers, accurate contact details, clear fees and medically reviewed content — signals Google also weighs for health topics.
What does .healthcare cost over five years?
₹54,967 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹9,471 for the first year and four renewals at ₹11,374. Compare that with ₹5,000 for five years of a .in name before deciding which is the main address.
Can a pharmacy sell medicines online from a .healthcare domain?
The registry does not stop it, but online sale of medicines in India is governed by drug-licensing law, not by the domain. Get the licensing position confirmed by your own adviser; the registry can suspend names used for unlicensed pharmacy.
Does .healthcare support DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a DS record for the .healthcare zone, so your name can be DNSSEC-signed once your DNS provider supports it — a sensible step for sites that patients log in to.
