Who is the .network extension for?
.network serves the people who run, build and connect infrastructure: managed service providers, NOC and status-page operators, network consultants, and the professional communities that form around connectivity work. The registry's stated market is IT professionals, tech consultants, career sites, industry-specific professional groups and social networks — and Indian buyers in exactly those niches are the ones for whom the label earns its keep.
| Buyer | Example name | The job the name does |
|---|---|---|
| Managed IT services firm | mumbaiworks.network | Tells clients the business is about connectivity |
| NOC or status-page operator | uptime.network | Hosts the page customers check during outages |
| Network consultant | fibreplan.network | Practice area visible in the address itself |
| DevOps or SRE team hub | runbooks.network | Internal docs on a name engineers remember |
| Telecom or ISP startup | lastmile.network | Product story compressed into one word |
| Professional community | indianops.network | A members' home that is not a generic .com |
If the site instead sells technology products to everyone, compare .tech and .digital before deciding — the pricing section below lines them up.
The .network registry, checked against IANA
.network is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC, a registry company operating through Identity Digital, and IANA records its delegation on 22 August 2014. It entered the root under Trixy Manor, LLC and moved to Binky Moon in a 2018 transfer that covered .academy and 195 other extensions, so its policies are the mature, standardised set that governs hundreds of Identity Digital zones.

.network pricing against .tech, .computer and .digital
At WebJi®, .network lists at ₹1,815 for the first year and ₹2,205 for each renewal year, before 18% GST. Among technology-flavoured endings it sits in the middle: cheaper per year than .computer or .tech, dearer than .digital at renewal.
| Ending | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Signals |
|---|---|---|---|
| .network | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | Infrastructure and connectivity work |
| .digital | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | Transformation and online-first branding |
| .tech | ₹4,400 | ₹4,400 | Technology companies and launches |
| .computer | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Hardware, repair and PC businesses |
The renewal column is what the second and later years cost; short or dictionary names are priced as registry premiums and quoted before payment.
What three and five years of .network cost
Held for three years, a .network name costs ₹6,225 in domain charges — ₹1,815 plus two renewal years at ₹2,205 — and ₹7,345.50 once 18% GST is added. These are renewal-budget scenarios: the sum of the first-year price and later renewal prices, paid as they fall due.
| Holding period | Domain charges | GST at 18% | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 (₹1,815) | ₹1,815 | ₹326.70 | ₹2,141.70 |
| Years 1–3 (1,815 + 2,205 + 2,205) | ₹6,225 | ₹1,120.50 | ₹7,345.50 |
| Years 1–5 (1,815 + 2,205 × 4) | ₹10,635 | ₹1,914.30 | ₹12,549.30 |
One renewal year works out at ₹2,601.90 including tax: ₹2,205 plus GST of ₹396.90. Terms of up to 10 years are available at the registry, so the checkout total for a longer single term is confirmed there.
Name ideas that read naturally on .network
The best .network names are verbs and nouns from connectivity itself — short, lowercase-friendly words that make the address explain the service. Unlike a .com where you fight for dictionary words, this zone still has crisp single words open at standard pricing.
- uptime.network — a public status page customers bookmark
- lastmile.network — an ISP or fibre operator's product name
- runbooks.network — an SRE team's documentation home
- darkfibrepune.network — city-scoped infrastructure branding
- yourname.network — a consultant's portfolio that states the craft

Rules, restrictions and the fine print
.network is unrestricted: no documents, no local presence, and the first completed order for an available name wins. Individuals, proprietorships, companies and societies anywhere can register, and the enforced part is ordinary registrant hygiene — correct, reachable contact data, because expiry and transfer confirmations travel by email.
- Documents needed: none; a GSTIN only if you want input credit on the invoice.
- WHOIS privacy: applied where the registry permits, which this extension generally does.
- Transfers: auth code from the losing registrar, email approval, a year added on completion; the standard 60-day post-registration lock applies.
- Expiry: the gTLD ladder — grace, redemption with a fee, then pending delete.
After registering: pointing the name at real work
A .network domain goes live the moment its nameservers resolve — typically within a few hours of registration. A status page or docs hub fits on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, alerts and incident mail such as noc@yourco.network run on business email, and the renewal guide covers grace and redemption so a lapsing year never takes the status page down with it.
Frequently asked questions
Which company operates the .network registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, a registry company operating through Identity Digital Inc. of Bellevue, Washington, per the IANA root zone database. It took the zone over in a 2018 transfer covering .academy and 195 other extensions, having been delegated in 2014 to Trixy Manor, LLC.
When was .network launched?
IANA's delegation report for .network is dated 21 August 2014, with delegation on 22 August 2014, under ICANN's 2012 new gTLD programme. The zone has been in continuous operation since, first under Trixy Manor, LLC and since 2018 under Binky Moon, LLC.
What does a .network domain cost for three years at WebJi®?
₹6,225 in domain charges and ₹7,345.50 including 18% GST of ₹1,120.50: ₹1,815 for year one plus two renewal years at ₹2,205 each. That is a renewal-budget scenario — the years are billed as they fall due, and checkout confirms the exact figures.
Is .network restricted to network companies?
No. The registry enforces no eligibility test, so any individual or organisation anywhere can register. The infrastructure reading is guidance from the registry's own market description, not a rule — but a name that fits the label is the one visitors trust.
Can I enable DNSSEC on a .network domain?
Yes. The .network zone carries a signed DS record in the root, so the delegation chain supports DNSSEC end to end. You can sign your own zone once your DNS provider supports it — a sensible step for a status or monitoring domain that must not be spoofable.
Are premium names handled differently on .network?
Short or dictionary words the registry prices as premiums show their exact quote before payment, and they renew at the premium rate rather than the standard ₹2,205. A search in the box on this page marks such names as premium up front, so nothing surprises you at checkout.
