Who needs a .wiki domain in India?
A .wiki name fits any project whose core is a growing, community-maintained body of knowledge — product documentation, exam notes, fan encyclopedias and company handbooks. The visitor arrives expecting to search, read and perhaps edit, which is exactly the behaviour a wiki wants.
| Project | Name idea | Who it serves |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS documentation portal | playbook.wiki | Users searching how-tos |
| Company internal handbook | teamhandbook.wiki | Staff on processes and policies |
| Cricket fan encyclopedia | gully.wiki | Stats and trivia contributors |
| Exam-notes community | examnotes.wiki | Aspirants sharing prep material |
| Game guides wiki | questlog.wiki | Players documenting strategies |
| Regional-language knowledge project | kosh.wiki | Volunteers building open content |
One boundary to respect: the string has no connection to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, and a site should never dress itself to imply that it has. Independent knowledge communities are the model here.
The registry record behind .wiki
.wiki is a generic top-level domain delegated on 19 February 2014, first to Top Level Design, LLC, and managed since 26 June 2023 by Registry Services, LLC of Tempe, Arizona, operating on GoDaddy Registry infrastructure. The registry's own description of the zone is quotable and open: an open TLD for anyone interested in community resource creation.
The change of operator in 2023 was a registry-side business transfer — registrant names, terms and DNS behaviour carried over, and the delegation has been DNSSEC-signed throughout.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Generic TLD — "open TLD for anyone interested in community resource creation" |
| Registry manager | Registry Services, LLC, Tempe, Arizona |
| First operator | Top Level Design, LLC (report 13 February 2014) |
| Delegated | 19 February 2014 |
| Operator transfer | 26 June 2023 |
| DNSSEC | Signed (secure delegation) |
| Term | 1 to 10 years |
What a .wiki domain costs at WebJi®

Budget planning for one name: ₹6,276 across two years, ₹9,718 across three — registration plus renewals, a scenario rather than a prepaid price. Premium dictionary labels quote above the band before payment, and checkout confirms current charges.
| Extension | Registration (₹) | Renewal (₹) | Content type |

| .blog | 2,700 | 3,267 | Sequential authorial posts |

| .shiksha | 1,891 | 2,302 | Indian learning, Hindi-flavoured |
Rules on the .wiki zone
Registration is open to everyone — the registry's community-resource description is a positioning statement, not an eligibility test. No documentation, editorial plan or organisational status is verified; the first completed order takes the name.
- Holders: any individual or entity worldwide, from a student project to a listed company.
- Data duties: accurate WHOIS contacts and a reachable mailbox for verification, renewal and transfer mail.
- Premium labels: short and common words priced by the registry, quoted before payment, renewed at the premium rate.
- Transfers: EPP code plus registrant approval; the completed transfer adds a year under ICANN's 60-day lock rules.
.wiki, .blog, .education — same mission, different shape
Pick by how the content grows: many editors building pages side by side is a .wiki; one voice publishing in order is a .blog; an institution offering courses is .education. All three tell the visitor what to expect before the homepage renders, which is the entire value of a specific ending.
- Community reference — .wiki at ₹2,834 signals searchable, editable knowledge.
- Authorial writing — .blog at ₹2,700 carries a personal or editorial rhythm.
- Teaching and institutions — .education at ₹1,800 or .shiksha at ₹1,891 for the Indian learning context.
Standing up the wiki after registration
Wiki software is ordinary PHP-and-database work: MediaWiki, Wiki.js or DokuWiki install on standard hosting and connect to your new name in an afternoon. A small community starts on shared hosting and moves to a VPS as editor traffic and page counts grow; wiki@yourproject.wiki mailboxes run on business email. Before the first expiry, read the domain renewal guide, and use domain transfer to bring sibling names under one roof.
Frequently asked questions
Who operates the .wiki registry now?
Registry Services, LLC of Tempe, Arizona, on GoDaddy Registry infrastructure, since the 26 June 2023 transfer. Top Level Design, LLC held it from the 19 February 2014 delegation until then, per IANA.
Is .wiki connected to Wikipedia?
No. The extension is an independent ICANN namespace with no affiliation to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, and presenting a site as Wikipedia-related would mislead users and invite trademark trouble. The word describes the format, not an organisation.
What does a three-year .wiki registration cost?
₹9,718 before 18% GST as a planning figure: ₹2,834 for year one plus two renewals at ₹3,442 each, from the 4 November 2026 billing read. Premium words cost more and are quoted before payment.
Can a company keep its .wiki private for internal use?
Yes. Nothing requires a public site — a .wiki name can sit behind a login or a VPN as a staff handbook just as easily as it can serve a public community. The registry never checks what you build.
Did the 2023 registry transfer change anything for registrants?
Operationally, no. Names, terms and DNS continued unchanged when management moved from Top Level Design to Registry Services on 26 June 2023; the delegation stayed signed and the zone open. It is registry plumbing, not a customer event.
Is DNSSEC available for a .wiki name?
Yes — the delegation is signed at the root, so you can publish DS records and run a signed zone through any DNS provider that supports DNSSEC.
