What is a .hockey domain?
.hockey is a generic top-level domain for the sport, managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc. The IANA root zone database lists it as delegated since 7 May 2015, following a 4 May 2015 report naming Half Willow, LLC as the first sponsor; Binky Moon took over on 23 March 2018, when .academy and 195 other strings moved together. The zone is DNSSEC-signed.

One word, two sports: in North America and Europe “hockey” means ice hockey, while in India it means field hockey. The registry does not distinguish, so the name in front of the dot has to make the version clear.
Who registers .hockey names in India?
Indian .hockey buyers come from the field-hockey heartlands and the businesses that serve them. Odisha has become the game’s organising centre, with the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar and the Birsa Munda stadium in Rourkela; Punjab’s Jalandhar belt has long produced players and sticks; Jharkhand’s Simdega and Coorg in Karnataka are known for village-level hockey; and Ladakh plays ice hockey on frozen rinks in winter.
- Residential or sports-hostel academy: rourkelaacademy.hockey with trials, fees and alumni.
- Stick and equipment maker: jalandharsticks.hockey for composite and wooden stick catalogues.
- Astroturf operator: slot booking for an artificial-turf pitch at a school or club.
- Village or community tournament: fixtures, results and sponsor logos for a seasonal cup.
- Ice-hockey club: lehrink.hockey for a winter league and coaching camps.
- Coach or video analyst: a personal brand such as yourname.hockey.
How much is a .hockey domain at WebJi®?
A .hockey name costs ₹9,471 in the first year and ₹11,374 for each renewal year, before 18% GST. Three years total ₹32,219 before tax (₹9,471 + ₹11,374 + ₹11,374). That places it among the costlier sport extensions, so many academies weigh it against a team or club name.

Can any academy or fan register a .hockey domain?
Yes. .hockey has no eligibility rule: no Hockey India affiliation, state-association membership or trademark is required. A fan page and a professional franchise go through the same order.
Two limits still apply. Names that copy a federation, league or team trademark can be challenged under ICANN’s UDRP dispute process, and registry anti-abuse rules cover phishing or fake ticket sales. Use your own academy or brand name, and keep the registrant email working for verification mail.
.hockey or .team, .club and .in — which works better?
Choose .hockey for a hockey-only brand that can carry the ₹11,374 renewal; choose .in or .club when budget or a multi-sport programme matters more. Search ranking does not change with the extension.
After you register a .hockey name
Point the .hockey name to a host, set up mail, and turn on auto-renew so a tournament season never coincides with an expired site. A fixtures-and-results site fits shared hosting; trial registrations@ and coach mailboxes run on business email. Coaches who sell sessions may also look at .coach, and the full catalogue is on domain registration in India.
Frequently asked questions
Is .hockey meant for ice hockey or field hockey?
Either. The registry sets no definition, so an Odisha field-hockey academy and a Ladakh ice-hockey club can both register. Put the city or the word “field” or “ice” in the name if visitors could confuse the two.
Who runs the .hockey registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, administered by Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. It was first delegated to Half Willow, LLC in May 2015 and moved to Binky Moon in 2018.
How much does a .hockey domain cost for five years?
₹54,967 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹9,471 for year one plus four renewals at ₹11,374. Premium names are quoted separately before payment.
Can I register my state hockey association’s name as a .hockey domain?
Only if you are authorised by that association. The registry does not check, but a body whose name or mark is used without permission can file a UDRP complaint and take the domain.
Is .hockey signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a DS record for the zone, so you can sign your own .hockey name once your DNS provider supports DNSSEC.
