What is a .global domain?
.global is an unrestricted generic top-level domain that signals a worldwide business, and Identity Digital Limited is its registry manager. IANA shows it was first delegated to Dot GLOBAL AS on 5 June 2014, and the zone went live on 11 June 2014. On 10 April 2024 it was transferred to Identity Digital Limited.
| Date or attribute | Record |
|---|---|
| 5 June 2014 | Delegated to Dot GLOBAL AS |
| 11 June 2014 | Zone active in the root |
| 10 April 2024 | Transferred to Identity Digital Limited |
| Category | Generic top-level domain, no eligibility test |
| DNSSEC | Secure delegation with DS record |
Unlike most themed endings, .global sits in a premium price band from the first year. That keeps casual registrations down, and many short words are still available.
Which Indian companies register .global?
.global fits Indian firms whose customers, offices or supply chains sit in several countries and whose .com name is already taken. It tells a foreign buyer the company works across borders, without tying it to India or to any single market.
Manufacturing exporters
Textile, engineering-goods and pharma suppliers who quote buyers in many regions.
Group holding companies
A parent site for a family business with subsidiaries abroad, while each country keeps its own ccTLD.
International NGOs and networks
Diaspora associations and cross-border programmes that need a neutral, non-national address.
What does .global cost in India, and is it worth the premium?
WebJi® sells .global at ₹8,086 for the first year and ₹8,985 for each renewal, before 18% GST, so three years cost ₹26,056. That total is ₹8,086 + ₹8,985 + ₹8,985. It is roughly six times the three-year cost of .com, so the premium makes sense only when the exact .global name is a brand asset.
| Extension | Year 1 (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | 3 years (₹) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .global | ₹8,086 | ₹8,985 | ₹26,056 | Register → |
| .world | ₹4,130 | ₹4,387 | ₹12,904 | Register → |
| .international | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | ₹6,225 | Register → |
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | ₹4,340 | Register → |
WebJi® billing prices on 14 November 2026. Some short .global labels carry a higher registry premium, shown before you pay.
Is there any eligibility rule for .global?
No. .global is open to any individual or organisation in any country, and you do not need offices abroad or export revenue to register one. The registry checks nothing beyond the standard accurate-contact requirement.
- Labels: 2–63 characters of letters, digits and inner hyphens.
- Terms: 1 to 10 years. A long term locks in the brand name.
- Invoice: INR with 18% GST. Add your GSTIN for input credit.
- Premium tier: short dictionary words may be priced above ₹8,086 and renew at that premium.
.global vs .com, .world and .international for an exporter
Start with .com if your exact name is free; choose .global when .com is gone and the brand needs a short, credible international ending. .world costs about half as much but reads as more informal. .international is the cheapest of the three themed options, but its 13-letter ending makes every email address long.
Country targeting does not depend on the ending. A .global site can serve each market through hreflang and country folders such as /uk/ or /ae/, while you keep national names like .in for Indian buyers.
Serving international visitors from a .global site
An audience spread across time zones needs fast hosting and a mail setup that passes overseas spam filters. Business sites run well on cloud hosting. Mailboxes on business email should be paired with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, which you can test with the email authentication checker. Moving a name from another registrar is covered under domain transfer.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who owned .global before Identity Digital?
Dot GLOBAL AS held the original delegation from June 2014. IANA records the transfer to Identity Digital Limited on 10 April 2024. Registrations made before the change stayed valid and simply moved to the new registry operator.
Why is .global priced so much higher than .com?
The registry sets a high wholesale price for .global, and registrars pass it on. At WebJi® it is ₹8,086 for the first year against ₹1,380 for .com. The high price keeps speculative registrations low, which is why short brand names are often still free.
Should an Indian startup use .global as its main domain?
Only if most of its revenue will come from outside India and the matching .com is taken. Indian customers recognise .in and .com more readily. A common setup is the brand on .com or .in, with the .global name redirected to protect it.
How much does a .global domain cost for five years?
₹44,026 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹8,086 for the first year plus four renewal years at ₹8,985 each. Premium-tier labels follow their own price, quoted before checkout.
Is DNSSEC available on .global?
Yes. The .global zone has a secure delegation at the root. Exporters handling payments or tender documents online can sign their own zone and lodge the DS record through the registrar.
