What .shop domain registration is for
.shop is a generic top-level domain for a shop. The registry site, get.shop, read 4 November 2026, says more than 3.9 million names are registered and that the address is meant for selling, including a physical shop that also sells online.
- Up to 63 characters, not counting the ending. Letters, numbers and hyphens. No symbols and no emoji.
- Internationalised names in 12 scripts, including Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Cyrillic and Spanish.
- A premium name, a dictionary word or a category word, is priced apart from an ordinary name.
- Public WHOIS is at whois.nic.shop. Privacy is an opt-in.
- A transfer needs the EPP code, also called the authorisation code, from the current registrar.
The first result is a generic GoDaddy search. The third is Wix's domain search. Neither is the .shop registry. The registry page is the second result.
What a .shop name costs at WebJi®
WebJi® has no published .shop figure in its price list. The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. The invoice then adds 18% GST. Nothing is charged until you accept the figure.
get.shop does not print one universal price. It sends you to compare registrars, and it flags a premium name in the search. That is why a single "from" banner is not a quote. WebJi® prices the spelling you asked for, registration and renewal, before GST.
The indicative .com and .in rows are other endings. A shop that also wants the India name can price .in on its own page. It is not a discount on .shop.
| Extension | Indicative registration | Indicative renewal | What the band is |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
Indicative bands only, source pricing_custom.json, read 4 November 2026, before 18% GST. They are not the registration or renewal for the extension on this page.
How to register a .shop domain at WebJi®
Do not pay before the quote names this extension, the term, and the renewal. The checker only tells you the name is free.
- Open the domain availability checker and type the name with .shop.
- Count the characters before .shop. Reject emoji and symbols. If the checker marks the word premium, wait for that higher figure in the email.
- Email support@webji.services with the exact name and the term. The reply is the INR figure before 18% GST, with the renewal beside it.
- Pay by UPI, card or net banking only after you accept. The invoice is in INR and shows the GST.
- Use a registrant contact that can read mail. Verification goes to that mailbox.
- Point the nameservers, or ask support to do it. It has worked when WHOIS shows your registrant and the name resolves.
Length, IDN and transfer rules for .shop
The label rules are the registry's, read on get.shop on 30 October 2026. A name over 63 characters, or one with an emoji, will not register. An internationalised name is a real registration, not a translation of the English name. Order the script your customers type.
WHOIS at whois.nic.shop shows the holder unless privacy is on the order. Ask for privacy in the same email as the quote. The transfer code comes from the current registrar when you move an existing name. See domain transfer.
When a .shop domain is the wrong choice
Choose .shop when you sell goods and the word shop helps a stranger understand the address. Do not choose it for a non-profit, a blog, or a software tool. Those jobs have clearer endings, and a shop suffix on a donation page looks like a store.
If .store is the word you say out loud, compare .store before you pay. The renewals are separate quotes.
Why WebJi® for a .shop name
The quote names .shop, says whether the spelling is premium, and shows the renewal. WebJi® has registered names for Indian businesses since 2005, formerly B4UIndia, and 12,000+ clients keep domains and hosting here. WebJi® is the registrar you order from. It is not the registry, and it is not ICANN.
- One office, in Jaipur. +91 141 4941811 is the office line, not a 24/7 support number.
- Email support@webji.services is 24/7, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
- The quote, the INR invoice with 18% GST, and the DNS change sit in one account.
- A move of an existing site or DNS zone is free only after approval.
The parent page is domain registration in India. A related ending is a .store domain. Send the spelling and the term through the contact page.
