.sales Domain Registration
Why Choose a .sales Domain?
The .sales extension launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's new gTLD programme and is operated by Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). It speaks directly to one of the most universal commercial activities online: selling. Unlike generic commerce extensions, .sales is unambiguous about intent — it tells visitors a deal, promotion, or sales operation lives at that address. It's particularly well suited to clearance pages, seasonal campaigns, and B2B sales teams who want a domain that telegraphs purpose at a glance.
Ideal for:
- B2B sales teams and outbound prospecting departments
- Seasonal clearance and promotional microsites
- Sales training coaches and CRM consultants
- Affiliate marketers running deal-of-the-day pages
- Real estate agents and car dealerships running listings
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .sales domain without proof of being a sales professional or business.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registry operators, which also runs hundreds of related extensions.
- Some short, generic, or high-value keywords may be classified as premium tier by the registry and carry higher registration and renewal fees.

Frequently asked questions about .sales
Registration is unrestricted. You don't need to prove you're a salesperson, run a sales department, or operate a business. Individuals, companies, charities, and agencies anywhere in the world can register a .sales domain on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to standard ICANN registration requirements and accurate WHOIS contact details.
You can register a .sales domain for between one and ten years at initial registration, and renew in similar increments. Many customers register for one or two years on a campaign-led domain and longer terms on a flagship domain they intend to keep. Auto-renewal is available so you don't accidentally lose the name.
Yes. If your .sales domain is currently with another registrar, you can transfer it in by unlocking the domain at your current provider, obtaining the EPP authorisation code, and starting a transfer with us. The transfer typically completes within five to seven days and adds a year to your registration period.
After expiry there's a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that the domain enters a redemption period of roughly 30 days, where recovery is possible but carries a registry redemption fee. Once redemption ends the name is released and anyone can register it.
Yes, .sales supports WHOIS privacy, which replaces your personal contact details in the public WHOIS record with proxy information. This is useful if you're registering as an individual or running a campaign site and don't want your home address and personal email exposed to scrapers and spam senders.
