What .shop really costs

An offer makes the first year cheap; from the second year you pay the renewal price. Here are three years at today's prices, so nothing surprises you later.

Renewals aren't automatic: we email reminders before the domain expires, and the price is shown before you pay.

FAQ

.shop questions

What shop owners ask before registering.

Why is the first year of .shop so cheap?

It's a first-year offer (₹107, normally ₹4,399, until 31 Dec 2026). From the second year you pay the renewal price, ₹4,899 a year incl. 18% GST today.

Who runs the .shop extension?

GMO Registry, under a contract with ICANN. You register the domain in your own name or your business's.

Can I use a .shop domain with my store builder?

Yes. Any store builder or host that lets you connect your own domain works: add the DNS records it gives you in your dashboard, where DNS is free.

Is .shop good for SEO?

Yes. Google treats .shop like any generic extension, with no penalty or bonus. What ranks is your shop's content: product pages, descriptions and reviews.

Is WHOIS privacy free on .shop?

Yes. Privacy protection is free and keeps the owner's name, address, email and phone out of public WHOIS lookups.

Can I move my .shop to HostMentor?

Yes, once it's past the 60-day lock after registration or a previous transfer. Get the auth code from your current registrar and start the transfer from your dashboard. It costs ₹4,399 incl. 18% GST and adds a year to the registration.
