Domain Name Registration in India
Register and manage domain names across every popular extension.
Search for a name, register it in your own account, and manage its DNS yourself. No lock-in and no charge to move it away later.
Choosing an extension
For a business trading in India, .in and .co.in say where you are and are still comparatively open, so the name you want is more likely to be free. .com remains the default people type when they are guessing. If the budget allows, register both and point one at the other - it costs little and stops somebody else trading on your name.
What is included with every domain
- Full DNS management - A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV records, edited by you at any time.
- Registrar lock against unauthorised transfer, on by default.
- Free forwarding to another domain or URL.
- Auto-renewal with reminders well before expiry, so a name is never lost to a missed email.
- Your own registrant details - the domain is registered to you, not to us.
Transferring a domain you already own
Unlock the name at your current registrar, ask them for the authorisation code, and start the transfer here. A transfer adds a year to the registration rather than replacing it, so you never lose the time you have already paid for. The site stays up throughout; a transfer moves the registration, not the DNS.
You own it
The domain is registered in your name with your contact details, and you can move it to any other registrar after the initial sixty-day lock that ICANN requires. We do not charge to release a name and we do not make you telephone anybody to do it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a .in domain cost?
Domains here start at £6.93/yr, and .in and .co.in are among the cheapest available. The price shown at checkout is the price - the renewal rate is published alongside it rather than revealed a year later.
Should I register .in or .com?
If you trade mainly in India, .in or .co.in signals that clearly and the name you want is far more likely to be available. .com is still what people type when guessing. Registering both and redirecting one is cheap insurance against somebody else taking the other.
Can I transfer my domain away later?
Yes, at any time after the sixty-day lock ICANN imposes on new registrations and transfers. We do not charge to release a domain and the authorisation code is available in your account without asking anyone.
Do I have to buy hosting as well?
No. A domain can be registered on its own and pointed anywhere you like - full DNS management is included either way.
How long does a transfer take?
Usually five to seven days, most of which is the losing registrar's waiting period rather than anything at our end. Your website and email keep working throughout, because a transfer moves the registration and leaves the DNS records alone.
What happens if I forget to renew?
We send reminders well before expiry and auto-renewal is available. After expiry there is a redemption period during which a name can still be recovered, though the registry charges a substantial fee for it - which is why the reminders start early.
