.store

A .store domain is a generic top-level domain run by Radix Technologies Inc. It was introduced as a new extension for businesses that want a clear home on the internet. Radix Technologies Inc. operates the registry, and the extension is open to anyone worldwide, so it suits shops, department stores and businesses that exist only online.

The rules for a .store domain are straightforward. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and DNSSEC is supported, which helps protect your visitors from forged DNS answers. Names can be 3 to 63 characters long, and internationalised names are not allowed. Your domain name also gives you a grace period of 40 days after expiry to renew it.

A .store domain is a good choice when your website sells products or services and you want the extension to say so. Before you register, check that your name is 3 to 63 characters and uses no internationalised characters. Make sure your contact details are accurate, because the registry requires them to be correct and kept current.

Registration is open to anyone, with no restrictions on who can apply.

• Anyone worldwide can register a .store domain.
• No local presence in any country is required.
• Your contact details must be accurate and kept up to date.
• Internationalised names are not allowed, so use letters, digits and hyphens.

Renew before the expiry date to keep your name, as the grace period is limited.

• You have a 40 day grace period after expiry to renew your .store domain.
• There is no separate redemption period.
• If the name is not renewed in time, it is released afterwards and anyone can register it.
• The registrar will send renewal reminders before your domain expires.

You can move an existing .store domain to Domain Central from another provider if you meet the requirements.

• You need the authorisation (EPP) code from your current registrar, and the domain must be unlocked.
• A transfer usually takes 5 to 7 days to complete.
• A domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration or of a previous transfer.
• A successful transfer adds one year to your registration term.

You can change the registrant of your .store domain, and this does not affect the expiry date.

• The change is made through the registrar.
• The expiry date stays the same after a change of registrant.
• Your contact details must remain accurate during and after the change.
