Why Choose a .gifts Domain?
The .gifts extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It's a plural-form TLD that names exactly what's being sold, which makes it useful for retailers, gift guides and curated present services where the URL itself describes the offer. Unlike country-coded extensions, .gifts is open globally with no eligibility restrictions, so independent shops and international brands can register on equal footing.
Ideal for:
- Independent gift shops and curated boxes
- Wedding and corporate gifting services
- Hampers, flowers and chocolate retailers
- Personalised and bespoke gift makers
- Seasonal pop-up stores and gift guides
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register.
- Operated by Identity Digital, the same registry behind .shop-adjacent extensions like .store and .boutique (note: .store is run separately).
- Some short, generic terms are reserved as premium names and carry higher registration and renewal fees set by the registry.
- Standard registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .gifts
Anyone. The .gifts extension is unrestricted, so individuals, sole traders and companies anywhere in the world can register one without proving any business activity or category. You don't need to be a retailer to use it — bloggers, gift guides and personal wishlist sites are all welcome.
You can register a .gifts domain for any term between 1 and 10 years at initial purchase, and renew in the same range. Picking a longer term locks in continuous ownership and means one less renewal date to track, which matters for seasonal businesses that get busy around Christmas and Valentine's Day.
Yes. If your .gifts is currently with another registrar, you can transfer it across by unlocking the domain at your current provider, requesting the EPP authorisation code, and starting the transfer on our side. The transfer adds a year to your registration and your existing DNS records can be preserved during the move.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic or high-demand terms as premium names, which carry higher registration and renewal fees set directly by Identity Digital. The domain search will show the exact price for any name you check, so there are no surprises at checkout.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days where you can renew at the standard price. After that, the domain enters a redemption phase with a higher restoration fee, then is eventually released back to the public. We send renewal reminders well in advance to help you avoid losing the name.
