Questions about .shop domains
How much does a .shop domain cost?
A .shop costs $6.99 for the first year and $42.99 a year to renew. Transferring one in from another registrar costs $42.99. All three prices are per year and exclude any tax that applies in your country.
How long can I register a .shop for?
Between 1 and 10 years at a time. You can renew at any point before it expires, and we turn auto-renew on by default so a domain you rely on is never lost to a missed email.
Can I transfer my .shop to Zinn Digital®?
Yes. You will need the authorisation code from your current registrar and the domain must be unlocked and more than 60 days old. We never charge to transfer a domain away from us either, and your authorisation code is available on request.
Is WHOIS privacy available on .shop?
Yes — .shop supports WHOIS privacy, which replaces your name, address, email and phone number in the public registry record with a forwarding contact. Its price is shown in your basket before you pay.
Who can register a .shop domain?
Anyone, anywhere. The .shop registry sets no residency or eligibility requirement, so you can register one wherever you are based.
What else do I get with a .shop domain?
DNS management, nameservers, and the option to point the domain at Zinn Digital® hosting or email in a couple of clicks. You do not need a hosting plan to buy a domain from us — and a domain you buy here is managed from the same dashboard if you later add one.
