Which Indian fashion businesses use .moda?
.moda suits Indian fashion firms selling to Southern Europe or Latin America: garment exporters, textile and print houses, and designers with buyers in Milan, Madrid or São Paulo. For a label selling only inside India, the word is less familiar and a .in or .com reads better.
| Business | Example | Who visits |
|---|---|---|
| Knitwear exporter, Tiruppur | tirupurknits.moda | Buyers for European high-street brands |
| Block-print and handloom house, Jaipur or Bagru | bagruprints.moda | Boutique buyers in Italy and Spain |
| Silk and saree weaver | kanchisilk.moda | Designers sourcing Indian textiles |
| Indian couture designer showing abroad | yourname.moda | Press, stockists and private clients |
| Fashion institute alumni showcase | gradshow.moda | Recruiters and sponsors |

Is .moda restricted to fashion brands?
No. .moda has no eligibility rule, so no fashion licence, export registration or proof of a label is required. The first completed order for an available name wins, subject to accurate contact data and the registry's acceptable-use policy.
Exporters should still show their IEC and company details on the site, because European buyers check suppliers. Avoid famous fashion-house names in the label: a name that copies a luxury trademark is a likely UDRP target.
.moda or .clothing — which reads better to your buyers?
Use .moda when your buyers think in Italian, Spanish or Portuguese; use .clothing or .com when they think in English. The ending carries no ranking advantage, so the choice is about recognition. A Tiruppur exporter with clients in Spain and the UK might hold yourfirm.moda for a Spanish catalogue and keep the main site on .com. For a European Spanish- or Italian-language section, add hreflang tags rather than separate brands.
Launching a fashion catalogue on .moda
Fashion catalogues are image-heavy and often multilingual, so plan fast image delivery and a store platform before the launch. Our manufacturing and export hosting page covers exporters' sites, a shop fits WooCommerce hosting, and buyer enquiries to ventas@yourlabel.moda run on business email. Names registered elsewhere move in through domain transfer.
Frequently asked questions
What does “moda” mean?
Fashion, in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. That is why .moda reads naturally to buyers in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Spanish-speaking Latin America, while English-speaking buyers may need the context of your brand name.
Who runs the .moda registry today?
Dog Beach, LLC, an Identity Digital company. IANA recorded the transfer from United TLD Holdco Ltd. on 2 June 2021; the same operator manages .immobilien and .kaufen, which came through the same route.
Can a saree retailer selling only in India use .moda?
Yes, there is no restriction. But most Indian shoppers do not read “moda” as fashion, so a .in or .com usually serves a domestic retailer better, with .moda kept for an export catalogue.
What should an exporter budget for .moda over five years?
About ₹20,947 before 18% GST as a planning figure: ₹3,995 for the first year plus four yearly renewals at today's ₹4,238 (₹16,952). Checkout confirms the actual charge.
Is .moda DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. The zone has a secure delegation at the root, so DNSSEC can be switched on for your name when your DNS host supports signing.
