IANA lists Binky Moon, LLC, c/o Identity Digital Inc., 10500 NE 8th Street, Bellevue, Washington, as the .email manager. Identity Digital Limited runs the back end at the same address. RDAP answers at rdap.identitydigital.services; no WHOIS host is listed. The record was last updated on 7 October 2025. Binky Moon holds .digital and .media as well, so the three share a legal position. ## Can a court in the United States take down or seize a .email domain? A United States court can order Binky Moon to act on a .email record, since the company is reached in Washington State. For trademark claims, 15 U.S.C. §1125(d)(2) allows an in rem action in the registry's district. Mail services also face orders addressed to the mail provider rather than the domain; those are separate from anything that happens at the registry. ## What does PanamaRegistrar do with a complaint about a .email domain? Nothing happens to a .email 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](https://panamaregistrar.com/takedown-procedure/) and [how we handle complaints](https://panamaregistrar.com/complaints/). ## Who uses .email domains, and why? Email services and newsletters use .email, according to the dataset. A service that sends mail on behalf of others needs a clean sending reputation. Spam is acted on at PanamaRegistrar only when it carries phishing, malware or fraud. A person can also use a .email name for a personal mailbox, with MX records set in the client area. ## Which registry rules are specific to .email? Spam alone is not a takedown ground at PanamaRegistrar; spam used to spread phishing, malware, botnets or fraud is. Mail services on .email should keep abuse contacts current. The domain can be registered for 1 to 10 years. .email supports DNSSEC and IDN, and shares its registry with .digital and .media. ## What does the WHOIS show for a .email domain? .email allows privacy, free at PanamaRegistrar. The RDAP record at rdap.identitydigital.services shows the registrar, the dates, the nameservers and the status codes. Contact data is not published; with Domain protection the registry holds our company's details, so the person behind a mailbox domain stays private. ## Do I need Domain protection for a .email domain? No, it is optional: +$29 per year, on top of the .email price. [Domain protection](https://panamaregistrar.com/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 .email? UDRP and URS apply to .email, a new gTLD. We apply panel and examiner decisions, lock the domain within 2 business days of a UDRP provider's request and tell the customer. Our steps for trademark cases: [UDRP and URS](https://panamaregistrar.com/udrp-and-urs/). ## How much does a .email domain cost, and how is it renewed? At PanamaRegistrar, as of October 2026, .email costs $27.99/year; renewal is $27.99/year, and a transfer $27.99 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](https://panamaregistrar.com/pricing/). ## Search a .email domain Search a domain name: https://panamaregistrar.com/app/domains/?q=yourname.email Popular extensions: .email ($27.99) ## .email questions ### Will a spam report get my .email domain suspended? Only if the spam carries phishing, malware, a botnet or fraud, and the report documents it. Spam alone is not a takedown ground at PanamaRegistrar. Reports go to abuse@panamaregistrar.com, and each one is handled under our abuse policy. ### Who runs the .email registry? Binky Moon, LLC, care of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, per IANA, with Identity Digital Limited as technical operator. United States courts have authority over the registry. ### Can I use a .email domain for my own mailbox? Yes. .email has no use restriction. Add MX records in the PanamaRegistrar client area to point mail to your provider, and TXT records for SPF or verification. Terms run from 1 to 10 years. ### Can PanamaRegistrar stop the .email registry from acting on a court order? No. The .email registry, Binky Moon, LLC (Identity Digital), keeps its own copy of the registration and applies the law of its own country. PanamaRegistrar decides only what its own service does: we act on Panamanian court orders, not on unverified complaints. Our registrar partner also keeps its own legal duties. We tell you when we learn of a registry-level action, unless the law or the order forbids it. See the [registry jurisdiction index](https://panamaregistrar.com/registry-jurisdiction/). ### How do I pay for a .email domain? In crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Top up your balance (minimum $25), then register the .email domain from it at $27.99/year. Send the exact amount on the exact network; the top-up is credited after the network confirmations. No ID and no KYC: one verified email per domain, never published. ## Sources 1.
