A Niche for the Trades
When .contractors entered the root zone on November 8, 2013, it carved out a slice of the internet for builders, electricians, plumbers and other tradespeople. It's a 2012 new gTLD round product, aimed at giving a distinct namespace to an industry that might otherwise settle for generic .com addresses. The registry is Binky Moon, LLC, which operates a portfolio of similarly trade-specific suffixes. For a contractor, the domain does a lot of the explaining — a name like 'smith.contractors' instantly signals both the trade and the person behind it.
Pricing: A Budget Entry Point
The price of a .contractors registration is strikingly accessible. The cheapest registrar in the market, Sav, offers it at $4.99, with renewals at $31.40. That's a fraction of what some business-oriented TLDs cost, making it an easy add-on for a small operation. Yet the spread is extreme — the most expensive registrar charges $60.19, about ten times the entry point. That suggests you can pay a premium for brand trust or convenience, but there's no technical reason to overpay. The average price across 42 registrars sits somewhere between those extremes.
Same Registry, Different Niches
.contractors doesn't exist in isolation. It shares its registry with a set of TLDs that each target a distinct occupational niche: .business, .cafe, .church, .coach, and .codes. This portfolio approach means registrants get a consistent management experience across any of these extensions. A contractor who also runs a side business could register both .contractors and .business under the same registrar account, using the former for the trade and the latter for broader ventures.
Not a Brand, Just a Category
This is not a brand TLD. ICANN's delegated strings list classifies .contractors as a generic term, not tied to a single company's brand. That means anyone can register any available name, with none of the restrictions that apply to closed brand TLDs. For a trade, that's a democratizing feature — the namespace is open to every contractor, from sole proprietors to large firms.
