What is a .services domain?
.services is an open generic top-level domain run by Binky Moon, LLC — an Identity Digital registry company — and delegated to the DNS root on 11 April 2014. No licence, membership or industry check applies: any person or organisation registers on a first-come, first-served basis, and the word "services" in the address tells the visitor what the site sells before they land.
The registry's own positioning for the zone is service divisions of companies, home services such as cleaning, plumbing and pet care, business services such as tech support, interior design and translation, and community service organisations — which maps almost one-to-one onto how Indian service businesses describe themselves.

Which Indian businesses suit a .services name?
Any business whose offer ends in the word "services" — repair, cleaning, support, compliance, staffing — can turn its category into its domain. The ending earns its place when the service itself is the brand, rather than a company name that happens to do several things.
| Business | Example name | What the address signals |
|---|---|---|
| Home cleaning franchise | deephome.services | The chore, solved — before the first click |
| Appliance and AC repair chain | acrepair.services | Searches for the service find the service |
| IT support and managed helpdesk | nodehelp.services | Trouble-shooting offer stated in the URL |
| Freelancer collective or studio | studio9.services | A portfolio address that needs no explanation |
| CA, GST and compliance practice | filemygst.services | Transactional promise built into the name |
| Community or NGO programme | seva.services | The Hindi word for service, complete in itself |
Companies whose name is the asset — a branded agency, for instance — often do better keeping the brand and choosing the ending on price; see the comparison below.
Cost of a .services domain in India
WebJi® lists .services at ₹2,722 for the first year and ₹3,289 for every renewal year, before 18% GST. Plan on a three-year renewal budget of ₹9,300 — one registration year plus two renewals at listed rates — rather than treating that sum as a prepaid package. Registry-premium dictionary words quote separately, always before payment.
| Extension | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| .services | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | Any offer that is literally a service |
| .agency | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | Branded creative and marketing agencies |
| .repair | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Repair-first trades: phones, cars, appliances |
| .contractors | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Construction and project contractors |

Restrictions and requirements for registering .services
There are none beyond standard gTLD hygiene: no eligibility test, no documents, no Indian or foreign presence rule. The registry expects accurate registrant details and a mailbox that receives verification and renewal notices; everything else is up to you.
- Who can hold it: individuals, proprietorships, companies, societies and trusts — the first completed order takes the name.
- GST: optional on the invoice; a GSTIN only matters if you want input credit.
- Privacy: WHOIS privacy is offered wherever the registry permits it for this zone; it is confirmed at checkout.
- Premium labels: short or dictionary words carry registry-premium pricing that renews at the premium rate — quoted before you commit.
Ordering follows the standard WebJi® path — search in the box on this page, pick a term, pay in INR by UPI, card or net-banking — summarised on the domain registration hub.
Choosing between .services, .agency and a .in name
Let the ending repeat what customers already call you: a repair business is "repair", a branded studio is an "agency", an Indian-first business is ".in". Google treats all generic endings as neutral for ranking — content and links decide placement — so the choice is about how the name reads, and what it costs to hold for years.
- .services at ₹2,722/₹3,289 — the broadest fit when the offer, not the brand, leads the pitch.
- .agency at ₹1,815/₹2,205 — cheaper, and self-describing for design, ad and recruitment firms.
- .repair at ₹4,562/₹4,846 — narrower and pricier, but unmistakable for trades.
- .in at ₹1,000/₹1,000 — the Indian default when the service is local and the flat renewal matters.
After you register: putting the name to work
A .services domain resolves with any host within hours of registration — the work is choosing where the site and mail live. A service-business site fits on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, quotation mail such as quotes@deephome.services runs on business email, and the renewal guide plus transfer guide cover the later years and any move between registrars.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .services registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, an Identity Digital registry company, manages .services. IANA's root record shows delegation on 11 April 2014, with the original delegation report to Fox Castle, LLC dated 9 April 2014.
How much does a .services domain cost for three years?
₹9,300 before 18% GST at listed rates: ₹2,722 for the first year plus two renewals at ₹3,289 each (read 4 November 2026). It is a planning scenario — each year is invoiced as it falls due.
Can a one-person freelance business register .services?
Yes. The zone is unrestricted, so a freelancer registers exactly as a company does, with personal contact details and no business proof. Many one-person consultancies use it precisely because the ending explains the offer.
Why does .services renew at ₹3,289 when year one is ₹2,722?
The gap between the ₹2,722 registration price and the ₹3,289 renewal is standard first-year pricing in the registry's rate card, not a fee added by WebJi®. Both figures are before GST and both appear on the invoice for the year they apply to.
Is .services good for SEO compared with .com?
No ending is a ranking boost on its own — Google treats new gTLDs like .services the same as .com. What the ending gives is a readable name and, often, better availability of the exact words you want.
Does .services support DNSSEC and domain privacy?
The zone carries a signed, DNSSEC-secure delegation at the root, and DNSSEC can be enabled for individual names through a supporting DNS host. WHOIS privacy is offered wherever the registry permits it for this extension.
