What is a .business.in domain?
.business.in is a second-level zone of India’s .in country code, run by NIXI, in which you register a name such as yourshop.business.in. It was among the zones NIXI added in its expansion of 29 October 2021, and it follows the same registry policy as .co.in or .firm.in: open registration, verified contacts and terms of one to ten years.

Which Indian businesses choose .business.in?
.business.in suits small Indian businesses that want the word “business” spelt out in full, because many customers read “.biz” as slang and “.co” as a typo. The full word is plain to a first-time buyer, a wholesale client or a government tender desk.
| Buyer | Example name | Why the full word helps |
|---|---|---|
| MSME manufacturer listing on B2B portals | rajkotpumps.business.in | Buyers see a trading entity, not a blog |
| Home-run business | tiffinservice.business.in | Separates the business site from a personal page |
| Franchise enquiry desk | franchisedesk.business.in | Signals a commercial offer to investors |
| Wholesaler or distributor | suratfabrics.business.in | Reads as a trade address on invoices and catalogues |
| Business-setup consultant | startupkit.business.in | The service and the audience in one address |
A professional practice usually reads better on .firm.in, and a registered company that wants the corporate convention picks .co.in.
How much does a .business.in domain cost?
A .business.in domain costs ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for each renewal year at WebJi®, before 18% GST. Five years therefore total ₹4,317 before tax (₹809 + 4 × ₹877). Because every NIXI second-level zone carries the same price, the choice between them is about meaning, not money.

Prices read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026. Registry-premium labels, if any, are quoted before payment.
What do you need to register a .business.in name?
You need only accurate registrant details: .business.in has no GST, Udyam or company-registration requirement, and buyers outside India may register too. The registry’s verification runs against the name, email and phone you enter, so the name will not resolve until that check completes.
- Registrant: put the business owner or the legal entity, not the web designer, so control stays with the business.
- Label: 2–63 characters of letters, digits and inner hyphens before .business.in.
- GSTIN: optional; add it only if you want input credit on the invoice.
- Premium names: shown with their price before payment.
.business.in vs .biz.in and .in — which should a small business pick?
Pick .business.in when your preferred .in name is taken and you want the commercial meaning spelt out; pick .in when the short name is free. Neither label ranks better in Google, so the decision rests on how the address reads aloud and on a card.
- .business.in — longest of the three, but unmistakable on a visiting card or GST invoice.
- .biz.in — five fewer letters to type; better when the address goes in an SMS or on packaging.
- .in — ₹191 more in year one than .business.in and the most familiar; hold it as the main site and redirect the zone name to it if you own both.
After registering a .business.in domain
A .business.in name works with any host and mailbox once its nameservers point to them. A catalogue site fits on shared hosting from ₹299 a month, and an address like orders@yourshop.business.in runs on business email. Keep auto-renew on and see domain transfer if the name is held elsewhere today.
Frequently asked questions
Is .business.in a top-level domain?
No. The top-level domain is .in; business.in is a second-level zone inside it, and your registered name sits one level below as yourname.business.in. It is administered by NIXI under the same policy as the other .in zones.
When did .business.in become available?
NIXI opened .business.in on 29 October 2021 as part of an expansion that added new second-level zones under .in. Because the zone is newer than .co.in, short descriptive names are more often still free; a live search shows availability.
Can a sole proprietor without GST registration buy .business.in?
Yes. The registry asks for no GSTIN, Udyam certificate or company papers. A proprietor registers in their own name, and the GSTIN field on the WebJi® invoice can be left blank.
What does a .business.in domain cost over five years?
₹4,317 before 18% GST: ₹809 for the first year and four renewal years at ₹877 each, at WebJi® prices read on 4 November 2026.
Will customers trust a three-part address like shop.business.in?
Indian buyers already know three-part addresses from .co.in and .gov.in, so the format is familiar. Keep the first label short and avoid hyphens, because “.business.in” itself already adds twelve characters.
