.bike Domain Names
43 registrars compared — cheapest from $5.38 at Spaceship
Launched in the 2012 new gTLD round, .bike hit the root on November 8, 2013 — but it doesn't live under a cycling-specific registry. Its operator, Binky Moon, LLC, runs the name out of the same Identity Digital family that stewards dozens of other extensions.

A Cycling Extension Spun by a Corporate Registry
The 2012 new gTLD program opened the door to strings no one had reserved for decades. .bike debuted on 2013-11-08, one of countless niche words from that round. Its sponsor, Binky Moon, LLC, is tied to Identity Digital's broader portfolio — a registry operator that handles far more than two-wheeled domains. That corporate underpinning matters: unlike a community-run TLD, .bike's policies and pricing flow from a commercial registry's playbook, not from cycling enthusiasts.
Why Not Just Buy .cycling? The Branding Angle
Despite its word, .bike doesn't demand that registrants be cyclists or bike shops. The registry has never enforced any use requirement, so the string works as a descriptor for anything from repair services to advocacy groups. But its natural magnetism pulls toward bike-centric small businesses and hobby bloggers who want a memorable address. With no keyword research on demand, the TLD remains a vertical play: selling saddles or hosting a trail club, .bike signals your niche in the address itself. That's a steeper commitment than grabbing a generic .com, and it only pays off when the word really matches what you do.
The Price Spread Tells a Different Story Than the Niche
For a niche gTLD, .bike shows an unusually wide pricing gap across registrars. 43 registrars sell it, with the cheapest — Spaceship — charging $5.38, while the most expensive runs a tenth of that scale higher ($61.99). That's not because cycling names are in hot demand; it's because registries set wholesale fees that let budget operators like Spaceship near cost while premium-focused sellers price for positioning. Renewals, at $35.39, also vary, so a bargain first year can turn into a pricier second one.
Standing Out in the Sports-Recreation Cluster
.bike sits alongside other 2012-round sports strings like .sport, .football, .basketball, and .tennis. But it has a key edge: it's a plain-English word, not a borrowed sport name with a hyphen-free suffix that can look awkward. Where .basketball immediately says "basketball," .bike also works for electric bikes, mountain bike rentals, or even a bike-themed blog. And unlike .sport, which is a broad umbrella, .bike narrows the audience in a single word. That specificity means fewer registrants overall, but for those who do pick it, the message is unmistakable.
