Register a .SHOP Domain

.shop does one job well: it tells a stranger you sell things, in the address bar, before the page has loaded. For a D2C brand, a boutique, a kirana going online or an Instagram seller finally building a real storefront, that clarity is worth having and the good names are still widely free.

Now the part worth saying plainly: .shop is expensive. It is ₹4,911 to register and ₹5,541 a year to renew, which is roughly five times what a .in costs to hold. We price every extension the same way — our cost plus a fixed margin — so there is no promotional first year here and no cliff in year two, but there is also no hiding that this registry charges a lot.

The maths is straightforward. If .shop is genuinely the right name for your brand and the word does real work, it is a fair price for a memorable retail address. If you are choosing it because it sounds modern, register the .in at ₹1,058 instead and spend the difference on stock.

Who .shop is right for

Choose .shop if you run online retail and the name reads naturally with it — brandname.shop rather than a description. It suits D2C labels, boutiques, resellers and marketplace sellers building an owned storefront.

What .shop costs over time

Registration is ₹4,911 and renewal is ₹5,541 a year, both including 18% GST. Over two years that is ₹10,452, and over five years ₹27,076.

We print the second number because it is the one that decides whether an extension is cheap. Full comparison on the 2026 domain price list.
