.salon Domain Registration India

.salon Domain Registration — What You Get

.salon is a generic top-level domain from the 2012 ICANN program with a crowded backstory: four applicants filed for the string — including cosmetics giant L'Oréal, whose bid drew a Governmental Advisory Committee early warning for seeking exclusive access to a generic word. Donuts' application proceeded, and the TLD was implemented on 12 November 2015; the IANA record lists Binky Moon, LLC — an Identity Digital company — as today's operator.

The word carries two readings — the hair and beauty salon on every high street, and the historic salon as a gathering for conversation and art — and the zone serves both.

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

Who Can Register a .salon Domain Name

Anyone can register a .salon name: a salon owner, a stylist, a spa, an art gallery or an individual, with no documents and no local presence anywhere in the world. There is no trade licence check — the open application won, not L'Oréal's closed one.

• 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 .salon Domain Is Used For

Hair salons, beauty parlours, spas, nail studios and barber shops use .salon as the natural ending — glow.salon or studio9.salon says the business before the page loads, which is why the ending works on visiting cards and Instagram bios.

The second, smaller use is the cultural salon: literary evenings, art salons and discussion series borrow the word's older meaning.

For an Indian buyer — a salon chain, a bridal makeup studio, a unisex spa — the ending is the entire pitch, but note the price: it is one of the dearest themed endings on our list, so most owners register one exact brand name rather than a portfolio.

.salon Domain Registration Plans & Pricing (INR)

WebJi lists .salon 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.

.salon Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules

A .salon 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 .salon 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 .salon 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.

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

The extension is not a ranking factor: content and links decide placement. Choose .salon when the salon is the whole business and the ending completes the brand; keep .com for a global brand and .in or .co.in when Indian identity is the point.

A practical split many salons use: the .in or .com carries the site with prices and booking, and one short brand.salon forwards to it for cards and social profiles.

• .salon — premium salon gTLD, ₹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.
