About the .GURU domain

What is the .GURU domain?

The .guru is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Identity Digital. It was delegated by ICANN in 2013. The word 'guru' — originating from Sanskrit and adopted in contemporary English — evokes a level of knowledge that goes beyond technique: deep wisdom, strategic vision, recognised authority and the ability to teach. Unlike .ninja (technical expertise with informal attitude), .guru carries a connotation of more mature and serious mastery, though without corporate rigidity. Registration costs $33.99/year and renewal $34.99/year — a minimal $1 difference.

Uses of .GURU

Who is the .GURU domain for?

These are the most common situations where .GURU is the ideal extension.

Strategic consultants and senior advisors

Consultants working at business strategy level, investors and advisors whose value proposition is vision and judgement, not technical execution.

Trainers, mentors and executive coaches

Business mentors, executive coaches and trainers who have built recognised authority in their field and want a URL reflecting their positioning.

Authors, speakers and thought leaders

Business book authors, professional speakers and thought leaders whose value lies in their ideas, not just their technical skills.

Marketing, finance and business gurus

'Marketing guru', 'investment guru' — the .guru in the business and finance sector is a widely recognised authority positioning.

Wellness, spirituality and personal development experts

The original spiritual connotation of 'guru' makes it especially powerful for experts in meditation, yoga, mindfulness and life philosophies.

Niches where authority is the product

Any sector where the client buys the expert's judgement and reputation rather than a standardised service: architecture, brand design, therapy, high-level legal advice.

Frequently asked questions about the .GURU domain

What is the difference between .guru and .ninja?

The .ninja ($19.99/year) evokes advanced technical expertise with an informal, digital culture tone. The .guru ($33.99/year) connotes more mature and deep authority — strategic wisdom rather than technical skill. For a developer: .ninja. For a strategic consultant or business mentor: .guru.

Does calling yourself a 'guru' sound presumptuous?

It depends on the context and audience. In the digital world, 'SEO guru', 'marketing guru' or 'finance guru' are labels the market assigns to authority figures and that many professionals adopt successfully. In more conservative sectors, it may generate pushback. For those who already have market recognition, .guru can reinforce that positioning.

Does .guru rank well on Google?

Google treats .guru like any generic gTLD. For searches like 'X consultant', 'Y expert' or 'best Z mentor', .guru can improve CTR by communicating authority directly from the URL.

Does the .guru price increase at renewal?

Yes, though minimally: registration at $33.99/year and renewal at $34.99/year — $1 difference. It is the smallest possible difference and does not represent a significant change in total cost.

Does .guru work for spirituality and wellness projects?

Especially well. The word 'guru' originates in Hinduism and Buddhism as a term for a spiritual teacher. For yoga, meditation, mindfulness and life philosophy projects, .guru has an authentic and coherent connotation.

Can I transfer my .guru domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional management cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
