What is a .discount domain?
.discount is an open generic top-level domain whose registry manager is Binky Moon, LLC, run through Identity Digital Inc. of Bellevue, Washington. IANA shows it in the root since 23 April 2014. Holly Hill, LLC held it first; it passed to Binky Moon in the March 2018 transfer of .academy and 195 other strings.
The word itself does the selling. A visitor who lands on festive.discount expects a price below the usual one, so the extension suits pages whose whole purpose is a markdown, a voucher or a clearance list.

Which Indian sellers get value from a .discount address?
It pays off for sellers whose customers come looking for a lower price: coupon publishers, outlet stores, wholesale counters and seasonal sale microsites. Indian shoppers time big purchases around Diwali, end-of-season and year-end clearances, and a short .discount name gives that campaign its own address without touching the main brand site.
| Business | Sample name | What the page does |
|---|---|---|
| Coupon and cashback blog | couponwala.discount | Lists verified codes by store and category |
| Factory outlet or surplus store | tirupurknits.discount | Shows export-surplus stock at outlet prices |
| Generic-medicine chemist | yourpharmacy.discount | Compares MRP with the counter price |
| Electronics clearance reseller | openbox.discount | Open-box and refurbished stock, warranty noted |
| Festive sale microsite | yourbrand.discount | A time-boxed offer page that redirects after the sale |
A full-price boutique or a service firm should avoid it: the word promises a markdown on every visit, and a visitor who finds none leaves.
What does a .discount domain cost per year in India?
WebJi® charges ₹4,562 to register a .discount domain and ₹4,846 for each renewal year, before 18% GST. Three years therefore cost ₹14,254 before tax (₹4,562 + ₹4,846 + ₹4,846). If the name is only for one sale season, the cheaper shopping extensions below may be the better buy.

Do you need documents to register a .discount name?
No documents are needed: .discount is open to any person or organisation, in India or abroad, on a first-come basis. The registry does not ask whether you actually sell at a discount. It does require accurate, reachable registrant contacts and use within its acceptable-use policy, which bars phishing and counterfeit storefronts.
- Price claims: the extension does not excuse a false offer; show the original and the reduced price clearly.
- Brand words: avoid another company’s trademark in the name, for example amazon-sale.discount; it invites a UDRP complaint.
- GSTIN: optional, needed only for input credit on the WebJi® invoice.
- Term: 1 to 10 years in one order.
.discount, .deals or a sale page on your .com — which works better?
Use .discount for a permanent bargain brand, .deals for rotating offers, and a /sale page on your existing domain when the discount is just one campaign of an established store. Google gives no extension a ranking edge, so a sale page on a domain with years of links often outranks a fresh .discount name.
- .discount — a coupon site or outlet whose identity is the lower price.
- .deals — about ₹1,800 cheaper in year one; reads well for combos and flash offers.
- Campaign redirect — register diwali.discount, point it to yourstore.in/sale for the season, then let it lapse or keep it for next year.
Putting a .discount site live
Once registered, a .discount name needs a host or a redirect, and DNS changes usually resolve within a few hours. A coupon blog runs comfortably on shared hosting, while a store with a cart belongs on WooCommerce hosting. Discount-heavy stores should read our guide to creating WooCommerce coupons. Renewal, grace periods and moving a name in are covered in the domain renewal guide and on domain transfer.
Frequently asked questions
Which company operates the .discount registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, per the IANA root zone database. The string was first delegated to Holly Hill, LLC in April 2014 and moved to Binky Moon in 2018 with 195 other extensions.
Is a .discount domain worth it for a single Diwali sale?
Only if you plan to reuse it every season. At ₹4,562 for the first year before GST it costs more than a .deals name at ₹2,722, and a sale page on your own .in or .com keeps the links you have already earned.
How much is a .discount domain for three years?
₹14,254 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹4,562 for the first year and ₹4,846 for each of the next two. Premium names are priced separately and the figure is shown before payment.
Can a coupon affiliate site use a .discount name with AdSense or affiliate programmes?
Yes. Ad networks and affiliate programmes judge the site’s content and traffic, not the extension. Keep codes current and label expired ones, because thin or outdated coupon pages are what get rejected.
Does .discount support DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA lists a secure delegation with a published DS record for the .discount zone, so you can sign your own name once your DNS provider supports DNSSEC.
