Quick answer
Can I register a .shop domain in your company's name?
Yes: you can register a .shop domain in our name at NomineeName. The registrant is DomaineGoat LLC, incorporated in Panama, so the registrant record and WHOIS/RDAP show the company, never you. As of October 2026, .shop costs $35.99/year, nominee registration included. No ID, no KYC — only a verified email, kept private — and you pay in crypto.

Who registers .shop in a company's name?
A .shop is made for e-commerce stores. Small online sellers often run their store from home, and the registry record is one more place where that address can appear. Holding the .shop in our name keeps the store's domain on our company. Your store can still show the legal details your customers' laws require.
What the .shop registry receives, what WHOIS shows, what we keep
| Who | What they get for your .shop domain |
|---|---|
| GMO Registry, Inc. | DomaineGoat LLC as holder, with the company's address. Nothing about you. |
| Public WHOIS / RDAP | The company as registrant, or fields the registry redacts. Never your name. |
| NomineeName | Your verified email and your orders. The email never goes to the registry. |
| You | Beneficial owner: DNS, renewals and the transfer code (free, from your account, at any time). |
What does the .shop registry ask of a holder?
GMO Registry, Inc. runs .shop under an ICANN registry agreement. There are no eligibility rules. The registry receives our company's details as registrant. Registering a store's domain in our name does not change consumer law: some countries require a shop to publish its seller identity on the site. That is your duty as the seller, not the registry's.
What should you check before registering .shop?
- Fake shops are suspended: fraud that takes money from victims, including fake shops, leads to suspension on a well-documented report.
- First-year deals: .shop is often discounted for year one elsewhere. Our yearly price does not change at renewal.
- Term: 1 to 10 years.
- Seller details: publish them on your site where your customers' law requires it. The domain record and the shop's legal notice are separate things.

Frequently asked questions
Does a .shop in your name hide my business from customers?
No, and it should not. It keeps your details out of the registry record and RDAP. Consumer rules in some countries still require a shop to show who sells. Publish that on your site. We provide privacy towards the registry, not a way to avoid seller duties.
What happens if a .shop is reported as a fake shop?
Fake shops are fraud that takes money from victims. On a well-documented report, the domain is suspended. That rule is written in our abuse policy and applies to every extension.
Who runs the .shop registry?
GMO Registry, Inc., under a contract with ICANN. ICANN rules apply to every .shop: RDAP lookups, the UDRP for trademark disputes, and a 60-day lock after a registration or transfer. The registrant in our model is our company.
Who owns a .shop domain held in your name?
DomaineGoat LLC is the registrant of record and you are the beneficial owner, under a written agreement in our terms. Your transfer code: free, from your account, at any time. The hand-back of the .shop name to you is free, on request to support from your verified email address. It works where the registry accepts you as holder.
Can a complaint take my .shop domain down?
Not on its own: copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions have fixed delays: phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately. See the abuse policy.
