MAKE THE EXTENSION MEAN SOMETHING

WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURSA name that fits your audience
Publish accurate delivery, returns and support information alongside the product catalogue.
Plan the complete launch
Plan website hosting, professional email and DNS separately from the registration. Link to genuine support and keep ownership with the intended registrant; none of those services is implied to be free or automatically included.

Who can register?
Registration is subject to the registry’s policies, accurate registrant details and rights in the chosen name. A relevant-looking extension does not grant a professional licence, institutional accreditation or approval. Reserved or restricted names may require a different process.
Choosing a valid name
Use a single registrable name before this complete extension. ASCII letters, digits and internal hyphens are the usual starting point; leading or trailing hyphens and subdomains such as www are not a new registration. Reserved labels, minimum lengths and supported internationalized scripts are checked by the registry/provider. A valid-looking label is not a reservation.
KEEP THE NAME. CHANGE THE HOME.
Bring your .shop domain.
Confirm that you control the domain, check its status with the current registrar and follow the required authorization process. Where an authorization code is required, obtain it from the current registrar and submit it only through Hostbip’s private transfer form. Do not change nameservers as an incidental step. The quoted transfer period, fee and eligibility are confirmed before checkout.
Submit authorization codes only in the private transfer flow—not on this page or in a support message.
Renewals and continuity
Keep contact information and payment arrangements current, and renew before the confirmed expiry date. Renewal, restoration and transfer are different operations. No grace period, restoration window or automatic renewal success is promised by this guide; consult the actual account and applicable policy.
Premium names are different
A registry-premium name may have a different registration or renewal price from a standard name. A domain already held by a seller is an aftermarket listing, not an ordinary new registration. The exact name-specific quote takes precedence over a general extension price.

Get to know .shop.
What is .shop useful for?
Consider it for retailers and direct-to-customer brands. Create a storefront that moves naturally from product discovery to purchase. These are editorial suggestions, not restrictions or a registry endorsement.
Who can apply for a .shop domain?
Registration is subject to the registry’s policies, accurate registrant details and rights in the chosen name. A relevant-looking extension does not grant a professional licence, institutional accreditation or approval. Reserved or restricted names may require a different process.
Can I move an existing .shop name?
Confirm that you control the domain, check its status with the current registrar and follow the required authorization process. Where an authorization code is required, obtain it from the current registrar and submit it only through Hostbip’s private transfer form. Do not change nameservers as an incidental step. The quoted transfer period, fee and eligibility are confirmed before checkout.
Why are registration and renewal shown separately?
They can have different prices and eligible periods. The current pricing panel displays only billing-supplied periods and payable totals, without multiplying an introductory price into future years.
Is hosting, email or privacy included?
Do not assume so from the domain extension alone. Compare the actual Hostbip service offering. Privacy, internationalized names and DNSSEC depend on the namespace and supported provider features.
