Register a .store Domain From 5.05 USD
Commerce-ready. Clear. Yours.
A Shop Address Customers Instantly Understand.
Imagine the name that sits on packaging, social posts and order confirmations. .store places that name under an ending built for retail. For a brand such as northline.store, it gathers product views, enquiries and returning buyers into one recognisable destination.
- Lead with what shoppers already recall. Use your brand or product line, or a clean variation, rather than a long profile link.
- Signal commerce at a glance. Local makers and global sellers can both use .store on packaging and digital channels.
- Leave room to scale. Start with a simple catalogue; add baskets, accounts or stock systems later without changing the core address.

.store, .com or .shop?

Practical ways the address works
A .store Domain for the Shop You Are Building
A domain earns its keep when customers use it. These examples show how one address can support a catalogue, order flow or growing brand.
Find Your .storeIndependent Retail
Put Your Catalogue in Front of Shoppers
Give customers one address for ranges, sizes and contact.
Direct Selling
Open a Digital Shopfront
Connect the domain to a cart and print the address on packaging and delivery notes.
Maker & Studio
Turn Interest into Orders
Show finished pieces, explain lead times and help buyers request a quote or place an order.
Brand Consistency
Cover the Ways Buyers Search
When both spellings are free, register .store and a matching .com, then point one to the other.
After the name is yours
.store Domain Management, Made Clear
Once registered, the address needs instructions for visitors and messages. Use the account tools to keep those connections current, review the registration and prepare for any future move.
DNS management
Enter the records supplied by your website platform. Confirm the target carefully before replacing an existing entry.
Nameserver control
Prefer another provider’s DNS? Apply its nameservers so that provider answers queries for the address.
Renewal management
Note the registration end date early enough to arrange payment and keep the public-facing name active.
Transfer support
Request guidance on shifting registrar responsibility, including the steps the registry expects.
Day-to-day administration
Why Manage Your .store Domain with Truehost?
Buying the name is the first step. These account features help you connect services, handle messages and keep reliable access to the address your customers use.
One-click Cloudflare push
Use the Cloudflare push option to reduce manual DNS entry when linking that service to your registration.
Transparent First-Year Cost
5.05 USD / first year
See the live first-year figure before finalising a brand name or ordering packaging.
Clear Renewal Pricing
TSh 197,366 / year
Renewal cost appears separately, so you can plan beyond any introductory registration rate.
Free DNS management
Update website targets and verification records without purchasing a separate DNS-management product.
Free email forwarding
A forwarder sends incoming messages to an inbox you already use; it does not replace a full hosted mailbox.
2FA and domain lock
Enable two-factor authentication and available domain locks to reduce the chance of unauthorised account or transfer activity.
Free business email
A no-cost mailbox option is planned. Until it arrives, choose a suitable paid service if your shop needs one now.
Free website builder
A free builder is also on the roadmap; do not treat it as available when budgeting for a site you need today.
Not available yet: the roadmap items above form no part of the current purchase. They should not be counted as included email hosting or an included website-building plan.
Connect the customer journey
How to Put Your .store Domain to Work
A buyer may first discover your products online, send a question and later place an order. Each step can share the same identity. Apply each service’s DNS requirements; different providers can still operate behind one domain.
- Let customers browse at northline.store.
- Handle product questions through [email protected].
- Offer dedicated spaces such as shop.northline.store and account.northline.store.
A practical address plan
Organise Around One Memorable Name
Decide which destination sits at the main address and which deserves its own prefix. The examples below are illustrative only and do not claim these names are free.
| Customer Task | Illustrative Destination | What People Encounter |
|---|---|---|
| Browse the range | northline.store | Product pages, sizing and contact options |
| Place an order | shop.northline.store | Catalogue, basket and payment journey |
| Check order status | account.northline.store | Private order history and support requests |
| Send a question | [email protected] | A branded contact address routed to your chosen mailbox |

.store Domain Name Rules
Write the exact spelling before you search. The label to the left of .store must follow the registry’s format rules, and a correctly formed spelling can still be reserved or already held by someone else.
Accepted in a .store name
Not accepted
Check Sample Spellings
| Candidate | Format Check | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
northline.store | Valid spelling | Uses only permitted characters |
north-line24.store | Valid spelling | Combines letters, a middle hyphen and digits |
-northline.store | Invalid spelling | A leading hyphen breaks the format rule |
north_line.store | Invalid spelling | The underscore falls outside the allowed character set |
Gather the details you will need
Your .store Registration Checklist
Individuals, sole traders and organisations may apply for .store. No retail licence or local presence is required. Provide accurate details for the person or body that will hold the registration.
Information you need
What registration does not supply
Before you register
Check related endings
Think about how someone who hears your brand name might type it. Search any important variation before printing an address you may later want to change.
Review existing rights
A successful availability check is not a trade-mark clearance. Look at existing businesses and relevant rights before adopting a name for commercial use.
Use a lasting email address
Select an inbox you can still reach even if this domain later becomes unavailable. That simplifies registration queries and urgent account notices.

| Disputed registrations | Allegations of abusive registration may be handled under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP). |
Protect a working address
What Happens If .store Expires?
An expired address can interrupt more than a website: order confirmations, password resets and customer messages may all depend on it. Arrange renewal before the end date. The registry’s recovery window is a final chance, not a planned renewal method.
Active
Confirm that payment arrangements and contact details remain usable while the registration is current.
Renewal Due
The displayed renewal charge is TSh 197,366. Complete payment early, especially if approval from another person is required.
Expired
During the initial grace window after expiry the address may still resolve. Act at once rather than treating continued service as proof of renewal.
Recovery window
Once suspension begins, connected services stop. Recovery may still be possible for a limited time and can involve extra fees.
Cancelled
After the recovery window closes the unrenewed name is scheduled for release. Another party may then register it; recovery is no longer assured.
Select a registration period
Plan Beyond the First Year
Compare the full price for each available term. Search for your name, then choose the registration period during checkout.

Questions before you decide
.store Domain FAQs
Practical answers for retailers and brands choosing an address, connecting services or moving an existing registration.
Is .store limited to registered companies?
No. Any individual or organisation may hold a .store registration. There is no requirement to hold a retail licence or company registration. The applicant must still supply accurate details and meet the registry’s terms.
Does the first-year price continue every year?
Not necessarily. The registration figure is 5.05 USD; the separate renewal figure is TSh 197,366. Plan ongoing costs from the renewal amount and review the payable total before each order.
Does .store improve search rankings?
No ending guarantees a ranking position. Choose an address that fits your shoppers, then focus on useful product content, a usable website and a clear description of the business. The domain should support that work, not replace it.
Can I register the name before the website is finished?
Yes. You can secure an available registration while the site is still being planned. Keep contact details and renewal arrangements up to date, and connect hosting when you have pages ready to publish.
Does registration include a working email inbox?
No hosted mailbox is created simply by registering an address. Choose a mailbox product if you need to send and receive shop email; a forwarding feature serves a different purpose and routes messages into an existing inbox.
Must website and email use the same provider?
No. Your website can use one compatible platform and your mail another. Apply each provider’s DNS instructions carefully so a website change does not unintentionally interrupt incoming messages.
Can I keep .store indefinitely?
You can retain the registration by renewing it while eligible and complying with the applicable terms. It is not a one-time permanent purchase. The registry allows durations up to ten years; the options offered in your order appear at checkout.
What if my preferred shop name is already taken?
Try a clear, relevant variation that people can remember, or consider a different ending. Avoid a confusing imitation of another brand. Do not assume that an inactive-looking website means the registration is available to buy.
Should a matching .com point to the same website?
If you control both registrations, you can choose a primary address and configure the other to redirect there. Buying .store does not automatically give you .com; check and acquire the matching registration separately if it matters to your brand.
Why must registration details stay accurate?
The registry or registrar may need to contact you about the registration. Outdated details can make validation, account recovery and urgent notices harder to handle. Update them when your business moves, changes ownership or replaces its contact inbox.
Is transferring a .store domain the same as moving hosting?
No. A registrar transfer changes who administers the registration. Website files, databases and mailboxes may remain where they are. If you also want new hosting, plan that migration separately and coordinate any DNS changes.
Can I recover a .store after services stop?
Possibly, if the registration is still inside the registry’s recovery window. Contact the registrar promptly once expiry is noticed; once the name is fully released, recovery is no longer guaranteed and another party may register it.
