Instantly clear: a .shop is an online store

If you run an online store, a .shop domain name tells visitors in a single word what to expect. brandname.shop is immediately understandable — in English, Dutch, German and French alike. That's the strength of a descriptive extension.

Because so many classic names are already taken on .nl and .com, .shop offers a huge pool of available names. You can often still register the brand name you want on .shop, even if .nl or .com is already gone.

Mind the renewal price: the promotional price of €5.99 applies to the first year. After that the renewal price is €34.99/year. Consider whether this fits your plans, or use .shop as a campaign domain alongside your primary .nl or .com online store.
