Shop

Generic New gTLD (2012 Round)

Overview

Retail intent is stated outright by .shop, which GMO Registry launched in 2016. Approximately 1.2 million domains are registered, placing it among the more successful commerce-oriented extensions of the new-gTLD programme. Online stores and marketplace platforms are the dominant registrants. Because the word requires no translation for shoppers in most Latin-script markets, the extension travels across borders more readily than a language-specific alternative would.
