SHOP Domain Registration

SHOP – is a gTLD top-level domain. Registration of SHOP domains on the Internet became possible thanks to the New gTLD program. With new domains, businesses gained the ability to improve their online recognizability and precisely indicate their field of activity. SHOP domain registration is automatic, with the domain registered within 1 minute. No documents are needed to buy a SHOP domain.

No documents are required to register the SHOP domain. However, keep in mind that New gTLDs are subject to the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). We therefore recommend avoiding domain names similar to well-known trademarks or similar-sounding to popular sites when registering. Registering a domain similar to an existing trademark may result in losing the domain. The best solution is to come up with a unique domain name unlike any other.

Advantages of the SHOP domain

• The domain accurately reflects your type of business;
• Many domains are still available for registration;
• Good indexing by search engines;
• The domain name is familiar and easy for site visitors to perceive by ear.

After the registration period ends, the SHOP domain has an ARGP period (grace renewal option) of up to 28 days. Please note that the ARGP period is not guaranteed and may be less than 28 days (depending on the terms of the partner registrar or registry). If the domain is not renewed during the ARGP, the RedemptionPeriod (domain restoration option) begins. The RedemptionPeriod lasts 30 days, during which the domain owner can restore the domain at a higher price than the renewal price. If the domain is not restored during the RedemptionPeriod, 5 days after the RedemptionPeriod ends the domain becomes free and available for registration by any registrar.
