What a .store domain is and who runs it
.store is a generic top-level domain for ecommerce. Wikipedia, read 4 November 2026, dates the launch to 14 June 2016, names Radix as the operator, and records no registration restrictions. It describes .store as the first ending launched specifically for ecommerce.
- Intended use: online shops and retail. Anyone can register.
- Introduced 14 June 2016. Registry site recorded by Wikipedia: get.store.
- SeekaHost lists a term of 1 to 10 years, a 40-day grace, and a 30-day redemption.
- A transfer on that page needs the name to be at least 60 days old, unlocked, with the authorisation code.
What a .store name costs at WebJi®
WebJi® has no published .store 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.
First-year banners on this search are discounts. The renewal is the number that repeats.
| Registrar, read 4 November 2026 | Registration | Renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger India, https://www.hostinger.com/in/tld/store-domain | ₹99 the first year | ₹5,329 a year |
| SeekaHost price table, seekahost.in/store-domain/ | ₹312.48 (table also shows ₹4,791.36 beside it) | ₹4,791.36 a year |
| SeekaHost FAQ on the same page | ₹299.93 a year | Not restated |
These are not WebJi® prices. The two SeekaHost registration figures disagree with each other. That is why a single banner is not a quote. WebJi® confirms both years in INR before you pay, then adds 18% GST.
The indicative .com and .in bands below are other extensions.
| 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 .store 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 .store.
- Decide the term from the renewal, not from a ₹99 line. Email that term with the spelling.
- 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.
Term and transfer rules for .store
Plan the term up to 10 years if the quote allows it. A transfer of a name you already own waits out the 60-day window SeekaHost documents, and it needs the code from the current registrar. WebJi® will not start a transfer during a lock.
Grace and redemption periods are when an expired name can still be saved, at a rising cost. Renew from the email before the name stops resolving. DNS records after that are the usual A, MX, and TXT set.
When a .store domain is the wrong choice
Choose .store for a catalogue, a merchandise page, or a retail brand. Do not choose it for a donation site or a software tool. The word store is a promise that something is for sale.
If the first year is under ₹500 and the renewal is several thousand, you are buying a discount, not a cheap name. Price year two before you print the address on a box.
Why WebJi® for a .store name
The quote shows year one and the renewal for .store, in INR, before GST. 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 .shop domain. Send the spelling and the term through the contact page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does .store domain registration cost at WebJi®?
The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. 18% GST is added on the invoice. Do not treat another registrar's first-year figure as the WebJi® price or as the renewal.
Why do advertised .store prices jump after year one?
Hostinger's India page, read 4 November 2026, shows ₹99 the first year and ₹5,329 a year to renew.[1] SeekaHost's table the same day shows ₹312.48 to register and ₹4,791.36 to renew, while a FAQ on that page says ₹299.93. Ask WebJi® for both figures before you pay.
Who can register .store?
Anyone. Wikipedia records no registration restrictions. The intended use is ecommerce. A blog or a non-profit is a weak fit.
How long can I register .store?
SeekaHost lists 1 to 10 years. A transfer there needs the name to be at least 60 days old and an authorisation code. WebJi® confirms both in the quote.
Is .store the same as .shop?
No. .store launched on 14 June 2016 and is operated by Radix. .shop is a separate ending. Pick the word customers will say.
Is the Jaipur phone line 24/7 support?
