What is a .sarl domain?
.sarl is an open generic top-level domain named after the SARL, the société à responsabilité limitée, a limited-liability company form used in France and much of the French-speaking world. Binky Moon, LLC manages it through Identity Digital Inc.; IANA records its delegation to Delta Orchard, LLC on 5 August 2014 and entry to the root on 8 August 2014.

What does SARL mean to an Indian business?
A SARL is roughly the francophone counterpart of an Indian private limited company: owners’ liability is limited to their contribution, and the form suits small and medium firms. It is used in France, Luxembourg and Switzerland (as Sàrl), and in francophone African countries such as Morocco, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire.
To a French-speaking client, “yourfirm.sarl” states the legal form much as “Pvt Ltd” does on an Indian letterhead. Elsewhere the acronym means little, so .sarl is a market-specific choice rather than a global brand ending.
Which Indian companies register a .sarl name?
.sarl fits Indian groups with a French-form subsidiary, firms selling into francophone Africa, and advisers who set up companies for francophone clients. For an Indian company with no French-speaking market it adds nothing.
| Business | Example name | Why .sarl fits |
|---|---|---|
| Indian group with a Moroccan or French SARL subsidiary | yourgroup-maroc.sarl | Matches the subsidiary’s legal form |
| IT services firm serving West African clients | yourfirm.sarl | Reads as an established company in French |
| Pharma or engineering exporter with francophone distributors | yourbrand-afrique.sarl | A French-language market site |
| Company-formation or accounting adviser | creation-societe.sarl | Describes the service to French speakers |

Do you need to be a registered SARL to use .sarl?
No — .sarl is sold as an open extension, so the registry does not check company registration papers before accepting a name. Any company or individual can register an available label with accurate contacts.
That makes the domain a claim you are responsible for. Using .sarl when your business is not a limited company could mislead customers in markets where the term has legal meaning, so match the ending to the entity actually trading. Renewals and transfers follow the domain registration hub.
.sarl or a French section on your main site?
Use .sarl when a francophone subsidiary needs its own address; otherwise a French-language section on your .com usually serves clients well at lower cost. No extension ranks better by default.
If you run separate French pages, add hreflang tags and French-speaking support details, and set up mail such as contact@yourfirm.sarl on business email. See subdomain vs subdirectory to choose a structure.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .sarl registry?
Binky Moon, LLC is the registry manager in the IANA root zone database, operating through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. .sarl was first delegated to Delta Orchard, LLC in August 2014 and moved to Binky Moon in 2018.
Is a SARL the same as an Indian LLP?
Not exactly. A SARL is a company with share capital and limited liability, so it is closer to an Indian private limited company than to an LLP, which is a partnership form. Take local legal advice on the precise differences.
Should a Swiss subsidiary use .sarl?
It can, since the Swiss form is written Sàrl in French-speaking cantons. Many Swiss companies still prefer the country code .ch for local trust, so consider .sarl as a second name pointing at the main site.
What does .sarl cost for three years?
At the listed rates, ₹4,562 for year one plus two renewals at ₹4,846 is ₹14,254 before GST. That is a planning estimate; checkout prices any prepaid multi-year term.
Is the .sarl zone signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation with a DS record for .sarl. Enable DNSSEC for your name at your DNS host so client portals and invoices sent from the domain are better protected.
