What is a .coop.in domain?
.coop.in is a second-level zone inside India’s .in country code, administered by the .IN Registry of NIXI, the National Internet Exchange of India. A name such as sahakari.coop.in therefore sits one level below .in, the same way .co.in and .org.in do, and inherits the parent zone’s technical setup.
The “coop” label is a reading, not a licence. NIXI keeps the zone open, so the extension tells visitors the site belongs to a co-operative without the registry asking for a society registration certificate.
| Attribute | .coop.in |
|---|---|
| Level | Second-level zone under the .in ccTLD |
| Registry | .IN Registry, National Internet Exchange of India (New Delhi) |
| Parent DNSSEC | .in has a secure delegation at the root |
| Eligibility | Open; first completed order wins |
| Verification | Registrant details are checked before the name resolves |
| Term | 1 to 10 years |
Which co-operatives in India use a .coop.in address?
.coop.in fits member-owned bodies whose members should see, in the address itself, that the site is theirs and not a trader’s. India has co-operatives in almost every village and town — milk unions, credit societies, housing societies, weavers’ and fishermen’s groups — and most of them still publish notices on paper or in WhatsApp groups.
Credit and thrift societies
Loan forms, interest-rate circulars and AGM notices under creditsociety.coop.in, kept separate from any bank’s domain.
Housing societies
Maintenance-bill portals, meeting minutes and committee contacts for residents — greenparkchs.coop.in reads at once.
Weavers and artisan groups
Direct-to-buyer catalogues where the co-operative label reassures customers that makers are paid fairly.
Farmer producer bodies
Crop prices, input bookings and member lists for farmers’ collectives that want a public face.
A society registered under a state co-operative act or the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act can use the zone, and so can an informal collective; NIXI does not ask which.
What does a .coop.in domain cost per year?
WebJi® charges ₹809 to register a .coop.in name and ₹877 for every renewal year, before 18% GST. Three years therefore cost ₹2,563 before tax (₹809 + ₹877 + ₹877) — a small line in any society’s annual accounts.
| Extension | First year | Renewal | 3-year total | Reads as |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .coop.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Indian co-operative |
| .org.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Indian non-profit or trust |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹3,000 | Any Indian organisation |
| .community | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | ₹9,300 | Associations, member groups worldwide |
Figures from WebJi® billing, 14 November 2026. The 3-year column is first year plus two renewals.
What does a society need to register .coop.in?
No registration certificate is needed; the .IN Registry only requires a real registrant whose name, address, email and phone can be verified. Because the record belongs to whoever is named as registrant, a co-operative should register in the society’s own name, not in the secretary’s.
- Registrant: the society’s registered name, so the domain survives a change of committee.
- Contact email: a shared office mailbox rather than one office-bearer’s personal Gmail.
- GSTIN: optional; add it only if the society claims input credit.
- Payment: UPI, card or net-banking in rupees, with a GST invoice for the society’s auditor.
.coop.in vs the global .coop extension
.coop.in is an open Indian zone; .coop is a separate top-level domain run by DotCooperation LLC in Washington, DC, and reserved for genuine co-operatives. IANA records the establishment of .coop in December 2001, and its registry verifies co-operative status, so it suits federations that work internationally.
- Choose .coop.in when members are in India and the society wants a low-cost, rupee-billed address.
- Choose .org.in when the body is a trust or welfare association rather than a co-operative.
- Choose .in when the society’s short name is free there and you want the shortest address; redirect the .coop.in version to it.
The extension does not change rankings. A housing society’s notices page ranks on its content, not on the zone.
Running the .coop.in site and member email
After registration, point the .coop.in name at a host and set up office mailboxes such as secretary@ and accounts@ so letters keep working when office-bearers change. Member-run bodies can start on hosting for NGOs and societies and add business email. The domain registration India hub lists every Indian zone we sell, and the renewal guide explains what happens if the treasurer misses a payment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who manages .coop.in?
The .IN Registry operated by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), New Delhi, manages .coop.in along with .in and its other second-level zones. WebJi® takes the order, files it with the registry and bills you in rupees.
Must we be a registered co-operative society to buy .coop.in?
No. The zone is open and the registry does not ask for a society registration number. It does verify the registrant’s identity details, so register in the society’s legal name with accurate contact information.
How much is a .coop.in domain for three years?
₹2,563 before 18% GST: ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for each of the next two years. Booking a longer term at once avoids a lapse when the managing committee changes.
Can the society change the registrant when the committee changes?
If the registrant is the society itself, nothing needs to change except the contact email and phone. If a former office-bearer was named personally, a registrant update with their cooperation is needed, which is why the society’s name should be used from day one.
Is .coop.in the same as a .coop domain?
No. .coop.in is a zone under India’s .in, run by NIXI and open to anyone. .coop is a separate top-level domain run by DotCooperation LLC for verified co-operatives worldwide. They are different registries with different rules.
