What is a .world domain?
.world is an open generic top-level domain that IANA records as delegated on 19 September 2014, with Binky Moon, LLC — an Identity Digital company — as today's registry manager. Its first operator was Bitter Fields, LLC; the March 2018 transfer of 196 extensions consolidated it under Binky Moon, where it shares policies with mature zones like .international's neighbours in the same portfolio.
Like every extension in that family it is DNSSEC-signed at the root, accepts labels of 2 to 63 characters in Latin script, registers for 1 to 10 years, and applies no eligibility test of any kind.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Generic top-level domain, open registration |
| Registry manager | Binky Moon, LLC (c/o Identity Digital Inc., Bellevue, WA) |
| Delegated | 19 September 2014 (first operator: Bitter Fields, LLC) |
| DNSSEC | Signed — secure delegation at the root |
| Label rules | 2–63 characters; letters, digits, inner hyphens |
| Term | 1 to 10 years |
Which Indian businesses choose a .world address?
The extension appeals to exporters, travel and tour brands, global-catalogue sellers and community projects — anyone whose offer is deliberately bigger than one city. The registry's own positioning lists internationally present brands, nonprofits, travel and adventure companies, and businesses with "world" in their name; that maps neatly onto India's export and diaspora economy.
| Buyer | Example name | What the address says |
|---|---|---|
| Tea or spice exporter | assamtea.world | Origin plus reach, for overseas buyers |
| Textile or saree exporter | suratsarees.world | Catalogue identity aimed at global retail |
| Tour or trek operator | himalaya.world | Destination-scale promise in five syllables |
| Handicraft marketplace | handicraft.world | The category, stated whole |
| Diaspora community portal | pravasi.world | A home for Indians abroad, by name |
| Worldschooling or travel-education blog | worldschool.world | Movement name that repeats the word on purpose |
How much does a .world domain cost in India?
At WebJi®'s billing read of 4 November 2026, .world registers at ₹4,130 for the first year and renews at ₹4,387, both before 18% GST. Premium dictionary labels quote separately and their price shows before payment; they renew at the premium rate too.
| Extension | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Signal it sends |
|---|---|---|---|
| .world | ₹4,130 | ₹4,387 | Global reach, single evocative word |
| .international | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | Explicitly cross-border operations |
| .asia | ₹1,484 | ₹1,835 | Asia-focused, with its own charter |
| .global | ₹8,086 | ₹8,985 | Enterprise-flavoured worldwide brand |
| Plan | First year | Renewal years | Budget total |
|---|---|---|---|
| One year | ₹4,130 | none | ₹4,130 |
| Three years | ₹4,130 | 2 × ₹4,387 | ₹12,904 |
| Five years | ₹4,130 | 4 × ₹4,387 | ₹21,678 |
Totals are renewal-budget scenarios — first year plus renewal years — not prepaid multi-year prices. On GST, 18% of ₹4,130 is ₹743.40, so a year-one invoice comes to ₹4,873.40. Checkout confirms current charges.
When the .world reading earns its price
.world justifies itself when the word does semantic work in the name — as reach, as destination, or as the brand itself — rather than sitting behind a generic company string. If the planned name works equally well as brand.com, the cheaper classic extension is the better spend.
Travel storytelling
Tour operators and trek blogs sell scale and scenery, and "world" carries that promise better than an initials-heavy .com.
Communities and causes
Diaspora portals, nonprofits and worldschooling projects get an inclusive umbrella name without city limits.
Names that contain the word
Firms already trading as "Something World" can finally own the exact match instead of a mangled hyphenation.
Eligibility and restrictions on .world
There are none to plan around: registration is open worldwide, with no nexus, licence or trademark prerequisite, and names go to the first completed order. What the registry does enforce is the standard gTLD hygiene — correct registrant data, a monitored email address, and use within its acceptable-use policy.
- Documents needed: none; GSTIN optional for invoice credit.
- WHOIS privacy: offered where the registry permits it for this zone.
- Trademark exposure: UDRP disputes apply, so avoid names built on other firms' marks.
- Premium and reserved labels: priced or blocked at the registry level, visible before payment.
After the .world registration completes
The domain behaves like any other from the moment its nameservers and records are set, usually propagating within a few hours. An export catalogue travels well on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, enquiries@yourbrand.world needs business email hosting, the domain renewal guide sets out grace and redemption timing, and domain transfer explains the auth-code route for names parked elsewhere.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .world registry?
Binky Moon, LLC, operating under Identity Digital Inc. of Bellevue, Washington, is the manager in IANA's root zone database. Bitter Fields, LLC held it first from the September 2014 delegation until the 2018 consolidation.
When did the .world extension go live?
IANA delegated .world on 19 September 2014, following its 12 September 2014 delegation report, within ICANN's 2012 new gTLD programme. It has operated continuously since with a signed root delegation.
What does five years of .world ownership cost?
₹21,678 before GST at listed rates — ₹4,130 for year one and four renewals at ₹4,387. It is a budget scenario rather than a prepaid package, and premium labels raise both columns.
Is .world better than .international for an Indian exporter?
They signal the same intent at different prices: .international runs ₹1,815 to register versus .world's ₹4,130. Choose .world when the single word strengthens the brand, and .international when the budget matters more than the flourish.
Can a nonprofit or community group register .world?
Yes. Societies, trusts and informal communities register on the same open terms as companies, which is why diaspora and cause-based portals are among the extension's natural users.
Does a .world domain work with DNSSEC and IDN scripts?
DNSSEC is signed at the .world root, so your name can be secured once your DNS host publishes DS records. Labels themselves are Latin-script; internationalised domain names are not the norm in this zone.
