What is a .show domain?
.show is an open generic top-level domain managed by Binky Moon, LLC — an Identity Digital registry company — and delegated to the DNS root on 16 April 2015. The registry pitches it at ticket-sale and resale sites, performance halls, music clubs and bars, streaming video services, movie review sites, and travel sites and city guides: anyone whose product is, literally, a show.
Because the word is a verb as well as a noun, the ending doubles as a call to action — bookmy.show-style constructions read as instructions, and a review channel's address tells viewers what the channel does. The zone is DNSSEC-signed at the root and open to every registrant on earth, with 1-to-10-year terms and standard gTLD label rules.

What a .show name costs, year one and beyond
WebJi® lists .show at ₹4,562 for the first year and ₹4,846 for each renewal year, before 18% GST. Work to a three-year renewal budget of ₹14,254 — the first year plus two renewals at listed rates — rather than reading that as a single prepayment. Premium labels, common for short performative words, are always quoted before you pay.

|---|---|---|---|
| .show | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Performances, ticketing, streaming |
| .events | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Conferences, weddings, expos — the calendar, not the stage |
| .productions | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | Production houses and agencies, at a lower price |

Who puts a .show address to work in India?
The buyers are event companies, stage groups and creators whose entire promise is the performance itself. In a market where weekend entertainment runs from city comedy nights to Ramlila seasons and college fests, the ending tells a ticket-buyer what the link holds before the page loads.
| Who | Example name | Effect of the ending |
|---|---|---|
| Event management company | stagecraft.show | The portfolio is the pitch, stated in the URL |
| Theatre or natak group | natakmandali.show | Performance identity for posters and ticket links |
| Open-mic and comedy producer | openmic.show | Reads as an invitation, not a corporate site |
| Fashion or talent show organiser | rampwalk.show | The event category is the domain |
| Streaming or review channel | reelmix.show | Tells subscribers the channel shows content |
| City events guide | weekendgrid.show | Listings page that names its own format |
Expo organisers and conference businesses usually serve better under .events — same registry family, same price, calendar-flavoured wording.
Eligibility and restrictions on .show
None exist: .show imposes no sector test, licence or geography — an individual comedian registers on the same terms as a ticketing company. The obligations are the standard gTLD ones, and they are about hygiene rather than eligibility.
- Registrant data: accurate name and contact details; the registry verifies the email address.
- Documents: none required; a GSTIN is optional for the invoice.
- Premium names: registry-priced and renewing at the premium rate, quoted before checkout.
- Use policy: ordinary acceptable-use rules apply — a ticketing site's refund terms remain its own legal responsibility.
The buying path itself is on the registration hub: search the name here, pick a term up to ten years, pay in INR by UPI, card or net-banking.
.show against .events, .productions and .theater
Choose by what you sell: the performance itself (.show), the calendar around it (.events), the making of it (.productions), or the stage tradition (.theater). All four are open namespaces and none carries a ranking advantage — Google treats them alike — so the decision is wording and price.
- .show, ₹4,562/₹4,846 — the double reading of noun and verb makes it the most flexible of the four.
- .events, ₹4,562/₹4,846 — same price, better for expos and conferences than for staged performances.
- .productions, ₹2,722/₹3,289 — the value pick for studios and behind-the-scenes brands.
- .theater, ₹9,471/₹11,374 — the prestige wording, at double the running cost.
Once the name is yours
A .show domain propagates to any host within a few hours of registration, and the site around it can be live the same week. Event pages with ticket embeds sit happily on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, cast and crew mail on business email; the renewal guide and transfer guide handle the following years and any registrar move.
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .show registry, and since when?
Binky Moon, LLC, an Identity Digital registry, manages .show. IANA delegated it to the root on 16 April 2015, with the original delegation report to Snow Beach, LLC dated 14 April 2015.
Is .show only for entertainment companies?
No registrant is turned away — the zone is unrestricted. The registry's positioning covers ticketing, venues, streaming, reviews and city guides, but a product demo site or a webinar series fits the ending just as naturally.
What does .show cost over three years?
₹14,254 before 18% GST at listed rates: ₹4,562 for the first year and two renewals at ₹4,846, read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026. That is a budget scenario, with each year invoiced separately.
Should a wedding planner choose .show or .events?
.events is the closer fit for planners — clients buy the occasion, not a performance. .show suits planners who market sangeet and stage programmes specifically, where the evening's entertainment is the product.
Are premium .show names expensive?
Some short or high-demand words carry registry-premium pricing above the standard ₹4,562, and they renew at the premium rate too. WebJi® shows the exact figure before payment, so nothing surprises you at renewal.
