Store

Generic New gTLD (2012 Round)

Overview

Radix FZC operates .store, launched in 2016 as a retail-focused counterpart to its own .site and .online extensions. Approximately 600,000 domains are registered. It competes directly with .shop for the same commerce vocabulary, and the practical difference is one of connotation: 'store' reads as a place, physical or otherwise, where 'shop' reads as an activity. Small independent retailers and marketplace sellers make up much of the registrant base.
