Who runs the .digital registry, and from which country?
Binky Moon, LLC is the manager of .digital in IANA's database, care of Identity Digital Inc. at 10500 NE 8th Street, Bellevue, Washington. Identity Digital Limited is technical operator. Binky Moon is one of the legal entities through which Identity Digital holds extensions, according to our dataset. RDAP answers at rdap.identitydigital.services; IANA lists no WHOIS host.

Can a court in the United States take down or seize a .digital domain?
For .digital, a US court is the forum that binds the registry. Binky Moon is reached at a Washington State address, and the in rem rule of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act places the domain where its registry is located. A mark owner can therefore seek cancellation or transfer there, without suing the registrant personally. The registry would carry out the order on its own database.
What does PanamaRegistrar do with a complaint about a .digital domain?
Nothing happens to a .digital domain on a complaint alone. Copyright, defamation, political or competitor complaints need a decision from a Panamanian court; a foreign judgment must first be recognised in Panama by exequatur. Phishing, malware, botnets and fraud that takes money from victims are suspended within 24 hours of a well-documented report, child sexual abuse material immediately, and the URLs are reported to NCMEC. You are told before any action on your domain, unless the law or the court order forbids it; with Domain protection, every complaint is also read by a person before any action on the domain. This rule covers what PanamaRegistrar does, not the registry or our registrar partner. Steps and time limits: takedown procedure and how we handle complaints.
Who uses .digital domains, and why?
Digital businesses and products use .digital, according to the dataset: agencies, studios and online services. Anyone can register, for 1 to 10 years. It is a long extension, so it is often paired with a short brand name. Agencies that host client sites on .digital names should note that every such name sits with the same US registry.
Which registry rules are specific to .digital?
With seven letters after the dot, .digital is one of the longest extensions we sell. Check that the forms and email systems you rely on accept it. Its registry, Binky Moon, also holds .media and .email. .digital supports DNSSEC and IDN, and IANA lists only an RDAP service for it.
What does the WHOIS show for a .digital domain?
.digital allows privacy, included free at PanamaRegistrar. RDAP output from rdap.identitydigital.services shows the registrar, the dates, the nameservers and the status codes. Your contact details are not published; with Domain protection, the registry holds our company's details instead of yours.
Do I need Domain protection for a .digital domain?
No, it is optional: +$29 per year, on top of the .digital price. Domain protection registers the domain in the name of DomaineGoat LLC, so the registration record and WHOIS/RDAP show our company, never you, and you can take it back in your own name for free. A transfer lock is on, and any transfer or DNS change must be confirmed from your account. We then hold only your email, and a person reads every complaint before any action on the domain; that review exists only with the option. It does not move the registry or change its courts.
Which dispute policy applies to .digital?
UDRP and URS both apply to .digital, a new gTLD. We lock within 2 business days of a UDRP provider's request, apply the decision and tell the customer. A URS suspension is carried out by the registry itself. Our steps for trademark cases: UDRP and URS.
How much does a .digital domain cost, and how is it renewed?
At PanamaRegistrar, as of October 2026, .digital costs $34.99/year; renewal is $34.99/year, and a transfer $34.99 with one year added, as ICANN rules provide for generic extensions. Term: 1 to 10 years. Payment is in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC) from a prepaid balance, minimum top-up $25. Every extension: price list.
