What is a .com.in domain?
.com.in is an open third-level zone of India’s .in country code, run by the .IN Registry of the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). A name such as yourbrand.com.in sits beside co.in, net.in and biz.in in NIXI’s list of zones where registration is “available freely to all parties worldwide”.
Because it lives under .in, it inherits the parent’s infrastructure: IANA lists NIXI in New Delhi as the .in manager, the zone has a DNSSEC-signed delegation, and lookups run through whois.nixiregistry.in and NIXI’s RDAP service.
| Rule | What NIXI says |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Open worldwide, no nexus or other qualification |
| Name length | 3 to 63 characters |
| Characters | Letters, digits and hyphens; no hyphen at the start or end, none in both the third and fourth positions |
| Term | 1 to 10 years, auto-renewing at expiry |
| Required contacts | Registrant, administrative, technical and billing |
| WHOIS display | All contacts shown except billing |
| Transfers | Not allowed in the first 60 days; a transfer adds one year |
Who should register a .com.in domain?
.com.in fits Indian sellers who already say “dot com” to customers but want an Indian address, and brands that hold a .co.in and want to catch the common slip of typing .com.in. It is also a fallback when both yourbrand.in and yourbrand.co.in are taken.
| Buyer | Why .com.in | Example |
|---|---|---|
| D2C brand selling on Instagram and WhatsApp | Customers already expect “.com”; the .in shows the brand is Indian | brandkurtis.com.in |
| Existing .co.in holder | Redirects visitors who add the missing “m” | yourfirm.com.in → yourfirm.co.in |
| Wholesale trader read out over the phone | “Dot com dot in” is easy to dictate | sharmahardware.com.in |
| Startup whose .in and .co.in are gone | Same brand spelling, still in the Indian namespace | payroll-brand.com.in |
How much does a .com.in domain cost?
.com.in costs ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for each renewal at WebJi®, before 18% GST; three years come to ₹2,563 (₹809 + ₹877 + ₹877). That is the same price band as the other NIXI third-level zones, and less than the ₹1,000 a year for a direct .in.
| Zone | Year 1 (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | 3-year total (₹) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .com.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Register → |
| .co.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Register → |
| .biz.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Register → |
| .business.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Register → |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹3,000 | Register → |

What do you need to register .com.in?
Only true, accurate contact details: NIXI asks for no company registration, trademark, GSTIN or Indian address for .com.in. Those details are public, so put the business’s office address and a role mailbox on the record rather than a home address.
- Contacts: registrant, admin, technical and billing, which can all be the same person for a small firm.
- Nameservers: not required to register, but at least one valid nameserver is needed before the name resolves; NIXI recommends two.
- GST invoice: add your GSTIN at checkout if you want input tax credit.
- Reserved words: the government keeps a reserved-names list; such labels cannot be registered.
.com.in vs .co.in vs .in: which reads best?
.in is the shortest and most familiar Indian ending; .co.in is the long-established company zone; .com.in is the one to add when your customers keep thinking in “.com”. None of them gets a ranking boost, and Google treats all three as Indian country-code addresses for geotargeting.
- Main site: .in if free, otherwise .co.in.
- Defensive and typo cover: .com.in pointing to the main site.
- Global buyers: pair with a .com at ₹1,380 a year.
After you register a .com.in name
A .com.in domain is live once its nameservers are set, usually within a few hours. Host the shop on shared hosting or start with an online store build, and set up orders@yourbrand.com.in on business email. Compare every Indian ending on the domain registration hub.
Frequently asked questions
Is .com.in an official NIXI zone or a private one?
Official. The .IN Registry run by NIXI lists com.in among its unrestricted zones, next to co.in, net.in, org.in and biz.in. It is not a privately resold namespace like .in.net or .co.com.
Can a foreign company register a .com.in domain?
Yes. NIXI states that its unrestricted zones are open to all parties worldwide with no nexus requirement. Only ac.in, res.in, edu.in, gov.in and mil.in are kept for qualifying Indian organisations.
What does a .com.in domain cost for three years?
₹2,563 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for each of the next two. You can also pay up to ten years in one order.
Can I move a new .com.in domain to another registrar straight away?
No. NIXI blocks registrar-to-registrar transfers for 60 days after a name is created. After that a transfer is allowed and adds one year to the expiry date.
Will my details be public in .com.in WHOIS?
By NIXI’s standing policy the registrant, administrative and technical contacts are displayed in .IN WHOIS; only the billing contact is hidden. Use business contact details if you do not want personal information on the record.
