About .store

The domain built for ecommerce

.store tells shoppers exactly what to expect: a place to buy. It's ideal for online shops, D2C brands, marketplaces and retailers opening an online store, and it keeps your brand name short and clean without extra words like 'shop' or 'buy'.

Who it's for

  • Online stores

    E-commerce shops of any size.

  • Retailers

    Shops with an online catalogue.

  • Brands

    Direct-to-customer brands.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a grace period after that, whose length depends on the extension, you can still renew at the normal price. After that a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you reminders before your domain expires.
