What is a .media domain?
.media is an open generic top-level domain for agencies, publishers and production companies, managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital. IANA approved its delegation to Grand Glen, LLC on 9 April 2014, lists it in the root since 11 April 2014, and records its move to Binky Moon in the March 2018 transfer of 196 extensions. The zone is DNSSEC-signed.
The registry names its market as advertising, marketing, PR and design agencies; media-buying and production companies, digital and traditional; news outlets; media bloggers; celebrity publications; and digital publishers and graphic designers. None of these is a condition of registration.
Which Indian media businesses register .media?
In India the ending suits firms whose product is content or attention: ad and PR agencies, regional digital news portals, production houses, influencer agencies and YouTube channel networks. It also fits the many agencies that already trade as “Something Media”.

Does a .media site need any media licence in India?
The domain needs none: the .media registry checks no licence, accreditation or press registration. Indian rules apply to the activity instead. Publishers of digital news and current affairs fall under Part III of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, whatever ending they use.
- News portals: follow the Digital Media Ethics Code's grievance and disclosure requirements.
- Agencies: show client work only with permission; misuse of a client's trademark in a domain invites a UDRP complaint.
- Holder: any individual or organisation; register in the agency's legal name, not an employee's.
.media, .productions or .com — which should an agency choose?
Pick .media when the business covers several kinds of content or advertising; pick .productions for a pure production house and .tv when video is the product. If the brand's .com is free, it is cheaper and clients type it by habit, so many agencies hold both and redirect one. The ending has no ranking effect of its own.
Hosting a portfolio or news site on .media
Showreels and news archives are heavy, so a .media site needs fast hosting and a plan for large files. A publishing site runs on WordPress hosting; agencies that also sell campaigns can see our social media marketing service. Newsroom mail such as desk@yourportal.media belongs on business email, and existing names move in through domain transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .media registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, operating through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. It took over from the original delegee, Grand Glen, LLC, in 2018, and also runs related endings such as .productions and .digital.
Is .media suitable for a regional-language news portal?
Yes. Readers understand the word, and the address works with any language content. Keep the label in Latin script so readers can type it on any keyboard, and publish the grievance details the IT Rules, 2021 require of digital news publishers.
Why does .media cost more to renew than to register?
The registry's renewal price is higher than the first-year rate. On WebJi®'s list the difference is ₹567 a year (₹2,722 against ₹3,289, before 18% GST), so budget on the renewal figure.
Does .media support DNSSEC?
Yes. The zone has a secure delegation at the root, so DNSSEC can be turned on for your name when your DNS host supports it, which helps protect a news site from spoofed DNS answers.
