.store — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2016
The short answer
Same idea as .shop, worse economics — one of the ugliest renewal spreads in retail TLDs.Why it works
- Clear intent
- Availability
Why it might not
- ~$50 renewals
- Same spam-adjacent history as .shop
The longer take
If you want the retail signal, .shop is usually the better deal. Check renewal pricing before falling for the $2.99 banner.
