.shop is a generic top-level domain, delegated in 2016, and IANA records GMO Registry, Inc. as its sponsoring organisation, in Japan. The registry points registrants at gmoregistry.com for registration services. That delegation record was last updated on 20 Aug 2019; if the registry has changed hands since, IANA is where it shows up first.

GMO Registry publishes no eligibility requirement for .shop — the only restrictions it states are on the name itself. A .shop label may run to 63 characters of letters, numbers and dashes; symbols and emoji are not accepted. Its registry agreement with ICANN, signed 8 April 2016, is recorded as Base, Non-Sponsored — no sponsoring community stands behind the extension, so there is no community test to pass.

DigMyName does not check availability for .shop. The registry rate-limits our availability checks, so most answers here would be inconclusive rather than a verdict, and the search offers only extensions it can answer for. This page is prices only — check the name itself at a registrar. Type a full .shop name in the search and you still get a card — an honest Unverified, never a guess.
