What is a .vacations domain?
.vacations is an open generic top-level domain for the holiday trade, managed by Binky Moon, LLC and delegated in the DNS root on 21 February 2014. It entered the root through Atomic Tigers, LLC under ICANN's 2012 new-gTLD programme, then moved to Binky Moon in March 2018 as part of a 196-extension consolidation — so the extension now shares policies and machinery with Identity Digital's other leisure zones such as .holiday, .tours and .cruises.

Who registers a .vacations domain in India?
The buyers are businesses whose product is the break itself: package operators, resorts, honeymoon specialists and the planners who sort leave and travel allowances. The registry's stated market covers airlines, travel agencies, city guides, tourist attractions, transport, destination resorts, hotels, hostels and B&Bs — and the Indian calendar gives that list teeth: the April–June school break, the Diwali window, and year-round leave-travel-concession (LTC) planning for salaried and government staff.
| Who | Example name | Why .vacations fits |
|---|---|---|
| Package tour operator | keralabreaks.vacations | Destination and product in one string |
| Hill-station or beach resort | pinewoodresorts.vacations | A booking address the name explains |
| Honeymoon specialist | firsttrip.vacations | Sells the occasion, not a room night |
| LTC and leave planner | ltcplans.vacations | Content hub for allowance paperwork and routes |
| Corporate offsite organiser | offsite.vacations | One short address HR can circulate internally |
| Weekend-trip creator | offbeatweekends.vacations | Itinerary write-ups under a themed label |
An agency selling every category of travel — visas, flights, business trips — usually reads better on a broader zone; the domain-registration hub lays out those alternatives.
How much does a .vacations domain cost in India?
A .vacations name lists at ₹4,562 for the first year and ₹4,846 for every renewal year at WebJi®, before 18% GST. The figures were read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026; checkout confirms current charges. Registry-premium words — short or common ones — quote separately, and that quote shows before payment.
| Extension | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .vacations | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Holiday brands, resorts, break planners | Register → |
| .holiday | ₹9,471 | ₹11,374 | Fixed-date break marketing | Register → |
| .tours | ₹9,471 | ₹11,374 | Guided itineraries and activity sellers | Register → |
| .cruises | ₹9,471 | ₹11,374 | Cruise lines and cruise-only agents | Register → |
Worth noticing in that table: .vacations enters at less than half the price of its own leisure siblings on this store, and its renewal stays close to the first year rather than jumping.
| Term | Working | Budget (₹) | With 18% GST (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ₹4,562 | 4,562 | 5,383.16 |
| 3 years | ₹4,562 + 2 × ₹4,846 | 14,254 | 16,819.72 |
| 5 years | ₹4,562 + 4 × ₹4,846 | 23,946 | 28,256.28 |
These sums are a planning scenario — the first year plus listed renewals — not a prepaid multi-year package price. The GST column applies 18% to the pre-tax total; a GST-registered buyer claims input credit on the invoice.
Is .vacations restricted, and what does an Indian buyer need?
No licence, tourism registration or Indian presence is checked — .vacations is an open gTLD sold first-come, first-served to any person or organisation. IANA's record publishes no eligibility rule for the string, and none is applied at order time.
- Documents: none. A GSTIN is optional — needed only to print it on the invoice for input credit.
- Who can hold a name: an individual, proprietorship, private limited company, society or trust.
- Contact hygiene: accurate registrant details and a working mailbox; registry verification, renewal notices and transfer approvals all arrive there.
- Privacy: a WHOIS proxy hides personal contacts wherever the registry permits it.
- Premium names: quoted before payment and renewed at the premium rate — check the figure before committing.
.vacations or .holiday, .tours and .in — which fits?
Pick .vacations when the name should read as leisure itself; pick .tours for guided itineraries, .holiday for fixed-date break marketing, and .in when Indian identity leads the brand. No extension ranks a site by itself — content, links and page speed decide placement — so the choice is about how the address reads to a traveller.
- .vacations — ₹4,562 to start, ₹4,846 to renew; the cheapest leisure label in this set.
- .tours — ₹9,471/₹11,374; better when the product is the route, not the break.
- .holiday — ₹9,471/₹11,374; the singular reading suits dated campaigns and offers.
- .in — ₹1,000 flat; the base for a company whose whole market is domestic, with the .vacations name held for the campaign site.
Many operators split the job: the .in or .com address carries the agency, and a .vacations name carries the seasonal campaign that expires into a redirect once the break is over.
After you register a .vacations domain
A fresh .vacations name serves any host and any mailbox within a few hours of pointing its nameservers. A resort brochure or packages catalogue fits on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, reservation addresses like bookings@yourresort.vacations run on business email, and the domain renewal guide explains grace and redemption windows before a season's traffic arrives. An existing name moves to WebJi® through the domain transfer process with an auth code from the current registrar.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .vacations registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, registered care of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, per the IANA root zone record. The string began under Atomic Tigers, LLC and consolidated into Binky Moon in March 2018 together with 195 other extensions.
When was .vacations launched?
The delegation report was approved on 14 February 2014 and the string entered the DNS root on 21 February 2014, as part of the batch of generic extensions ICANN approved in its 2012 programme round.
What does a .vacations domain cost over three years?
₹14,254 before GST at current WebJi® billing — ₹4,562 for year one plus two renewal years at ₹4,846 each. With 18% GST the planning total is ₹16,819.72. Registry-premium names price separately and renew at their own rate.
Can a resort or tour operator register without a tourism licence?
Yes at the registry level — .vacations checks no industry credential, licence or trademark. Running the travel business itself remains subject to whatever state or national rules apply to the operator, which the domain extension neither replaces nor relaxes.
Are Devanagari or other script names available in .vacations?
No. IANA publishes no IDN tables for .vacations, so labels are plain Latin letters, digits and inner hyphens, 2 to 63 characters long. A Hindi-language site lives under a Latin domain with Devanagari content on the pages.
Does the .vacations renewal equal the first-year price?
No. Registration lists at ₹4,562 and renewal at ₹4,846, both before 18% GST as read on 4 November 2026. The gap of ₹284 a year is the standard renewal band, not an escalator — premium names follow their own quoted renewal instead.
