.maison Domain Registration India

.maison Domain Registration — What You Get

.maison is a generic top-level domain whose string is the French word for house. Donuts signed its registry agreement on 5 December 2013, and the string was implemented on 6 February 2014 and entered the DNS root on 11 February 2014; the IANA record lists Binky Moon, LLC — an Identity Digital company — as today's operator.

The string travels beyond France: maison reads as house, home and premium lifestyle across French-speaking Europe, and luxury brands worldwide borrow the word for exactly that feel — maison de couture, maison de thé.

Terms run 1 to 10 years, the delegation is DNSSEC-signed, and the registry's IDN tables cover internationalised labels. The application included a Public Interest Commitment, and the zone sits in a deliberately premium price band.

Who Can Register a .maison Domain Name

Anyone can register a .maison name: an interior studio, a bakery, a boutique, a real-estate firm or an individual, with no documents and no local presence anywhere in the world — GoDaddy's own help page records the extension as open to anyone, first-come, first-served, with 1 to 10 year terms.

• Allowed characters: letters, digits and hyphens; a hyphen cannot start or end the name.
• Internationalised names are supported through the registry's IDN tables.
• Premium names — short or common words — carry registry premium pricing on top of the band, quoted before you pay.
• First completed order wins: a name is not held while you decide.

What a .maison Domain Is Used For

For Indian buyers the key point is the word: maison is French for house — the zone serves home-and-living brands, French-speaking property businesses and anyone borrowing the word's premium tone.

Interior designers, furniture studios, boulangerie-style bakeries, tea and chocolate ateliers use maison names to read as a house of craft; French-market property agents use it the German market uses .immobilien.

An Indian brand exporting handloom, decor or confectionery to Europe gets a name like atelier.maison or weavehouse.maison that carries the made-in-a-house-of-craft tone — at a price that reflects it.

.maison Domain Registration Plans & Pricing (INR)

WebJi lists .maison at ₹9,471 a year for registration and ₹11,374 for renewal, read on 4 November 2026, before 18% GST — a premium band, so budget for the renewal figure from year two. Premium names cost more and are quoted before payment.

WebJi billing prices, read on 4 November 2026 — the renewal column is what the second and later years cost, before 18% GST.

.maison Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules

A .maison term runs 1 to 10 years and renews in the same blocks, at the renewal band rather than the first-year rate. Renewal reminders go to the registrant email, so keep that address reachable and turn auto-renew on.

After expiry the name follows the standard gTLD sequence: roughly 45 days of auto-renew grace, then 30 days of redemption where the registrar charges a recovery fee, then a five-day pending-delete window before it returns to the open market. A dropped .maison is not held for the previous owner.

To transfer, unlock the name and take its EPP authorisation code from the current registrar, then approve the email sent to the registrant address. WebJi bills a .maison transfer at ₹9,471, a completed transfer adds a year to the term, and a name is locked for 60 days after registration or transfer under ICANN rules.

.maison vs .com and .in for an Indian Business

The extension is not a ranking factor: content and links decide placement. Choose .maison when the French word carries the brand's tone for European or luxury-facing customers; keep .com for a global brand and .in or .co.in when Indian identity is the point.

At this price band the name must earn its keep — most buyers hold one exact .maison brand name and run the working site on .com or .in.

• .maison — French "house", ₹9,471 a year, renewal ₹11,374.
• .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
• .in — Indian identity, ₹1,000/year.
• .co.in — Indian commercial second level, ₹809/year.
