Shop
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.
