.moda Domain Registration India

.moda Domain Registration — What You Get

.moda is a generic top-level domain whose string — moda, the Italian and Spanish word for fashion — was applied for by United TLD Holdco (Demand Media). Its registry agreement was signed on 7 November 2013, the string was implemented on 9 January 2014 and entered the DNS root on 14 January 2014; the IANA record lists Dog Beach, LLC — an Identity Digital company — as today's operator.

The application framed it as an open namespace for fashion and style serving Spanish- and Italian-speaking audiences — blogs, designers, labels and retailers — with no pre-registration verification.

Terms run 1 to 10 years, the delegation is DNSSEC-signed, and the registry's IDN tables cover internationalised labels.

Who Can Register a .moda Domain Name

Anyone can register a .moda name: a designer, a boutique, an ethnic-wear label, a stylist or a student, with no documents and no local presence anywhere in the world. There is no industry licence check — the word is the qualification.

• Allowed characters: letters, digits and hyphens; a hyphen cannot start or end the name; names run 2 to 63 characters.
• Internationalised names are supported through the registry's IDN tables.
• Premium names — short or common words — carry registry premium pricing, quoted before you pay.
• First completed order wins: a name is not held while you decide.

What a .moda Domain Is Used For

For Indian buyers the key point is the word: moda is Italian and Spanish for fashion — the zone is used by designers, labels, boutiques, stylists and fashion blogs, especially those selling into Europe and Latin America.

Indian fashion businesses fit naturally: a saree or ethnic-wear label, a bridal studio, a Surat textile exporter or a fashion e-commerce dropship site reads instantly as fashion on a .moda name — silkroute.moda or jaipur.moda.

Because the word is shared by two of the world's largest fashion languages, the ending travels across Europe and Latin America without translation.

.moda Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules

A .moda 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 .moda 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 .moda transfer at ₹3,995, a completed transfer adds a year to the term, and a name is locked for 60 days after registration or transfer under ICANN rules.

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

The extension is not a ranking factor: content and links decide placement. Choose .moda when fashion is the entire business and the name reads as a label; keep .com for a global brand and .in or .co.in when Indian identity is the point.

A boutique often holds both: the .in or .com for the shop and bookings, and a short brand.moda for the lookbook and Instagram bio.

• .moda — Italian/Spanish "fashion", ₹3,995 a year, renewal ₹4,238.
• .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
• .in — Indian identity, ₹1,000/year.
• .co.in — Indian commercial second level, ₹809/year.
