.gold Domain Names
42 registrars compared — cheapest from $4.99 at Sav
Gold is a domain for the real thing, not the virtual. Delegated in March 2015 under the new gTLD program, it's managed by Binky Moon, LLC, a subsidiary of Identity Digital. But what does a precious metal name mean for a digital address?

A Precious Name, Not a Brand
Binky Moon, LLC runs the registry for .gold, but this isn't a brand TLD. It was delegated in the 2012 new gTLD round as an open, generic extension. That means anyone can register a .gold name, not just a single company. The parent company, Identity Digital, is known for its portfolio of niche TLDs, and .gold sits alongside .business, .cafe, and .coach in that stable. The name itself evokes value, purity, and durability.
Price Spread That Mirrors the Metal's Volatility
The pricing for .gold is anything but consistent. Across the registrar market, there's an extreme spread—the cheapest option, offered by Sav, costs about a tenth of what some other registrars charge. That puts .gold in an awkward bracket: it can be a budget buy or a premium splurge depending on where you shop. With 42 registrars carrying it, the market is active enough to create price competition, but the wide gap suggests that gold's perceived value isn't uniform across the industry. For a deal, it pays to compare.
The Identity Digital Family: Gold Among the Hobbies
Identity Digital (via Binky Moon) has built a portfolio of TLDs that cater to specific niches—commerce, dining, faith, and sports. Gold fits that pattern, sharing a registry with .business, .cafe, .church, .coach, and .codes. These aren't generic alternatives to .com; they're names with a built-in audience. For a jeweler, a gold trader, or a luxury brand, a .gold domain instantly communicates what you do.
