What does a domain provider in India actually do?
A domain provider in India sells you the right to use a name, files it with the registry that runs that extension, and bills you in rupees each year it stays registered. The provider is the shop; the registry is the wholesaler that keeps the master list. You never pay the registry directly.
Each ending has its own registry. VeriSign operates .com, while .in and second-level names such as .co.in sit with the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). A good provider hides that complexity: one account, one login, one GST invoice, whichever ending you pick.
| Party | Role | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Registry | Keeps the master database for one extension and sets its rules | VeriSign for .com; NIXI for .in and .co.in |
| Domain provider (registrar or reseller) | Takes your order, files it, handles renewals, locks and auth codes | WebJi® |
| Registrant | The legal holder named on the record | You or your company |
| Host | Stores the website files and mailboxes the name points to | Any host you choose |
The name and the website are separate purchases. Ordering steps for a fresh name live on domain registration in India; this page is about choosing who should hold your names for the next ten years.
How much does a domain provider in India charge per year?
At WebJi®, .in costs ₹1,000 to register and ₹1,000 to renew, .com costs ₹1,380 then ₹1,480, and .co.in costs ₹809 then ₹877, all before 18% GST. The figures below were read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026.
| TLD | Registration (₹/yr) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Best for | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | Universal default | Register → |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | Indian businesses | Register → |
| .co.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | Indian brands/enterprises | Register → |
| .xyz | ₹1,754 | ₹1,957 | Launches, offers | Get Custom Quote → |
| .ai | ₹6,000–8,000* | ₹6,500–8,500* | AI startups (2-yr min) | Get Custom Quote → |
| .io | ₹2,800–3,800 | ₹3,200–4,200 | Tech/product companies | Get Custom Quote → |
Judge a provider on the three-year bill, not the first invoice. Three years of .in is ₹3,000 (₹1,000 × 3); three years of .com is ₹4,340 (₹1,380 + ₹1,480 + ₹1,480); three years of .co.in is ₹2,563 (₹809 + ₹877 + ₹877). Add 18% GST to each.
*.ai and .io are quoted per name because their registries price in bands. Email support@webji.services for the exact figure for your spelling before you pay. The full list of endings sits on the domain price list.
Six checks before you pick a domain provider in India
Pick the provider that shows the renewal next to the first year, names you as registrant, and hands over the auth code without a fight. Those three points decide whether you stay in control of the name; the rest is convenience.
- Renewal shown up front: the second-year price is printed before checkout, not discovered on the next invoice.
- Registrant is you: the record shows your name or your company, not the agency or designer who placed the order.
- Transfer lock and auth code: you can switch the lock off and get the EPP code yourself from the client area.
- DNS you can edit: A, CNAME, MX and TXT records, or the option to point nameservers at another host.
- GST invoice in INR: your GSTIN printed on it if you claim input credit.
- Reachable support: a named inbox that replies in a language your team uses.
WHOIS privacy depends on the registry, not the provider. Where an extension publishes the holder, no provider can hide it; the WHOIS privacy guide explains which endings allow masking.
Who owns the name: you or the domain provider?
You own the registration if your details sit in the registrant field; the provider only manages it on your behalf. The most common Indian dispute is not with a registrar at all but with a web designer who registered the client's name under the designer's own account.
Run a WHOIS lookup on any name you already hold. If the registrant is someone else, ask them to update it before the next renewal. Under ICANN's transfer policy, a registrar may refuse to move a .com for 60 days after registration or a previous transfer, so plan provider changes outside that window.
How to move your domains to a new provider
Moving a name between providers takes an unlocked domain, its authorization code, and one year of renewal paid at the new provider. The website keeps running during the move if the nameservers stay the same.
- Confirm the name has more than a few days left before expiry and is past any 60-day lock.
- Turn off the registrar lock at the old provider and request the EPP or auth code.
- Email the code to support@webji.services with the full domain name.
- Approve the transfer email that reaches the registrant address.
- Check the new expiry date in your WebJi® account once the registry completes the move.
The detailed version, with registry timelines, is on domain transfer. If the website must move too, free migration is subject to terms and approval and is not instant.

Frequently asked questions
Is a domain provider the same as a registry?
No. The registry runs the database for one extension, such as NIXI for .in. The provider is the retail side that takes your order, bills you and passes the registration to the registry. You deal only with the provider.
Does every name renew at a higher price than the first year?
Not every name. At WebJi®, .in registers and renews at ₹1,000 a year. .com moves from ₹1,380 to ₹1,480 and .co.in from ₹809 to ₹877, all before 18% GST. Check the renewal column for any ending before ordering.
Can a private company register a gov.in name through WebJi®?
No. gov.in is reserved for eligible government bodies and is issued through the government registry. A private company, shop or startup should use .in, .co.in or .com, which WebJi® registers without eligibility checks.
Why is .ai quoted rather than listed at one price?
.ai has a two-year minimum term and its registry prices names in bands, so WebJi® shows ₹6,000–8,000 to register and ₹6,500–8,500 to renew per year, before 18% GST. The exact figure for your spelling is confirmed by email before payment.
Can I keep my domain at WebJi® and host the website elsewhere?
Yes. Point the nameservers at your host, or keep DNS at WebJi® and add the host's A and MX records. Many clients keep names with one provider and change hosts freely without touching the registration.
