What is a .memorial domain?

IANA's delegation report is dated 24 November 2014 and the zone has been live in the root since 26 November 2014; unlike many sibling extensions, it was delegated to Dog Beach directly rather than transferred later.

Who uses .memorial in India?
In India the strongest fit is not funerals but institutions: a great many hospitals, schools, colleges and trusts carry “Memorial” in their registered names, honouring a founder or family member. For them, .memorial lets the domain repeat the name exactly, such as sharma.memorial for “Sharma Memorial Hospital”.
| Buyer | Example | What the site holds |
|---|---|---|
| Memorial hospital or clinic | kamladevi.memorial | Departments, doctors, OPD timings |
| Memorial school or college | rkschool.memorial | Admissions, notices, fee details |
| Charitable memorial trust | gupta-trust.memorial | Scholarships, donations, 80G details |
| Family tribute page | nanaji.memorial | Life story, photos, shraddhanjali messages |
| Funeral and last-rites service | antimseva.memorial | Services, contact numbers, cremation-ground guidance |
How much does .memorial cost, and is it worth it for a family page?
WebJi® lists .memorial at ₹9,471 for the first year and ₹11,374 for each renewal, before 18% GST — one of the dearer endings we sell. As a planning figure, the first year plus two renewals at today's prices is ₹32,219. For a single family tribute, a .in or .org name costs a fraction of that and reads just as respectfully.

Is .memorial restricted to funeral businesses?
No. .memorial has no eligibility rule; families, trusts, hospitals and businesses can all register, and the first completed order wins. The registry's acceptable-use policy and accurate contact data still apply.
- Holder for a tribute page: register in the name of the family member who will keep renewing it.
- Holder for an institution: use the trust's or society's legal name, matching its registration certificate.
- Privacy: tribute pages often carry personal details; publish only what the family agrees to share.
- Names of public figures: a tribute to a well-known person may draw objections from heirs or trademark holders.
How do you keep a .memorial page online for years?
A memorial page only lasts as long as its domain renewals, so plan who pays and where the reminders go before you publish. At ₹11,374 a year to renew, this matters more than on cheaper endings.
- Set auto-renew and add a second family member's email to the account.
- Ask at checkout whether a longer term is available, so renewals fall less often.
- Keep a backup of the photos and text outside the website.
- Read the domain renewal guide so the family knows what grace and redemption mean.
A simple tribute site fits static site hosting; a trust or hospital site with updates runs on WordPress hosting.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .memorial registry?
Dog Beach, LLC, an Identity Digital company in Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. Identity Digital staff are the administrative and technical contacts on the root zone record.
Can a memorial trust use .memorial for 80G donation pages?
Yes; the domain places no limits on content. Donors will look for the trust's registration and 80G details, so publish them clearly and use HTTPS on any donation form.
What happens to a tribute page if the .memorial renewal is missed?
The site stops working once the name expires and, after the registrar's grace and redemption periods, the name can be registered by someone else. Auto-renew and a second contact email are the best protection.
What should a hospital budget for .memorial over five years?
About ₹54,967 before 18% GST as a planning figure: ₹9,471 for the first year plus four yearly renewals at today's ₹11,374 (₹45,496). Checkout confirms the actual charge.
Is .memorial DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. The zone has a secure delegation at the root, so DNSSEC can be enabled for your name when your DNS host supports signing.
