A .shop domain for your online store

## The idea behind .shop

.shop is a generic extension launched in 2016 for commerce. The name says it all: there is a shop behind the address. Online stores, businesses selling on social media and brands that want a separate address just for sales choose it.

## .shop domains: frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between .shop and .store?

Both launched in 2016 and both are about selling. .shop is shorter and reads as buying, .store as a place. Pick the one where your name is free and sounds better said out loud.

### Do I need a physical store to buy a .shop?

No. Anyone can register one, person or business, for an online store, a physical one or both.

### Can I have a .com and a .shop for the same name?

Yes. Many businesses use .com for the company site and .shop for sales. You buy and manage both under Domains.

### Can I use my .shop domain with a website built here?

Yes. Create your website for free, turn on Premium and choose Connect to a site under Domains. We add the DNS records and the SSL certificate, so your .shop address opens over HTTPS within minutes.
