What is a .town domain?
.town is an open generic top-level domain for places and local communities, managed by Binky Moon, LLC through Identity Digital Inc. IANA dates its delegation report to Koko Moon, LLC on 9 April 2014 and shows the zone live since 11 April 2014. Binky Moon became manager on 23 March 2018, and the zone is DNSSEC-signed.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Generic TLD; not run by any government |
| Registry manager | Binky Moon, LLC, c/o Identity Digital Inc. |
| Live since | 11 April 2014 (first sponsor Koko Moon, LLC) |
| DNSSEC | Signed |
Because the registry is private, a .town name carries no official status: anyone can register a town’s name, and a municipal body has no automatic claim to it.
Who uses a .town domain in India?
.town suits Indian projects that serve one place: local directories, township developers, market associations and hometown communities. Where a town has no single online reference for local shops and services, a well-run portal on its own name fills that gap.
| Project | Example name | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| Local business directory | bhilwara.town | Shops, doctors, service providers by category |
| Integrated township developer | greenvalley.town | Phases, amenities, resident updates |
| Traders’ or market association | sadarbazaar.town | Member list, market timings, notices |
| Hometown or native-place community | ourvillage.town | Events, alumni, donation drives |
| Local news or events portal | kotanews.town | Town-level news and listings |

Can anyone register a town’s name as a .town domain?
Yes. .town has no eligibility rule, so a private person can register a town name ahead of the municipality or a local association. That makes honesty on the site important: an unofficial portal should say so plainly.
- Do not imply official status: avoid wording, emblems or seals that suggest a municipal council or district administration.
- Community ownership: for an association, register in the society’s or trust’s name, not a volunteer’s.
- Listings: get consent before publishing a business’s phone numbers in a directory.
.town vs .place, .community and state .in zones
Choose .town when the site is about one named settlement; .place for a single venue; .community for a group defined by people rather than location; and a state zone such as .gujarat.in or .up.in for a low-cost Indian regional signal. None of them changes search rankings.
For local businesses that want to be found in their town, the domain matters far less than a complete Google Business Profile and local citations — the work covered by local SEO services.
Running a .town portal
A town portal lives on fresh listings, so plan who updates it before you buy the name. A directory or news site with many editors runs well on WordPress hosting, with a shared business email inbox for submissions. Other extensions are on domain registration in India.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .town registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, administered by Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. IANA delegated .town to Koko Moon, LLC in April 2014, and it moved to Binky Moon in 2018.
Can a municipality use a .town domain for its official site?
It can register one, but Indian government bodies generally use government domains such as .gov.in, which only eligible government entities can obtain. A .town name could serve a tourism or events campaign that points back to the official site.
Is .town suitable for a real-estate township?
Yes, for the township’s own name. Show the project’s RERA registration number and the state authority’s website on the project pages, as advertising rules require, and keep the developer’s main site linked.
What does a .town transfer cost at WebJi®?
WebJi® billing lists a .town transfer at ₹4,562, before 18% GST. A completed transfer adds a year to the term; renewal is ₹4,846 a year after that.
Is .town DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. IANA lists a DS record for .town, so a portal can sign its DNS once its provider supports DNSSEC.
