How does domain registration work in India?

Domain registration is a paid, renewable right to use a name for 1 to 10 years: you search it, choose an extension, pay a registrar such as WebJi®, and the registry records you as the holder. It is not a one-time purchase, and it is billed separately from hosting.

A name works on its own before any website exists — it can carry email, redirect to a social page, or wait for a later launch. The extension’s registry sets the rules: NIXI for .in and its second-level names, Verisign for .com and .net, and a separate operator for each new generic extension. WebJi® has registered names for Indian businesses since 2005, formerly as B4UIndia.

  1. Search the name in check domain availability, which runs a live check across extensions.
  2. Add the extensions you want and the term in years; prices are shown before you pay.
  3. Complete the registrant contact details accurately and confirm the verification email the registry sends.

How much does domain registration cost in India?

At WebJi®, .in costs ₹1,000 a year with the same renewal, .com costs ₹1,380 for the first year and ₹1,480 to renew, and .co.in costs ₹809 then ₹877 — all before 18% GST. Always read the renewal column, because years two onwards are billed at that figure.

.in, .co.in and other Indian extensions: what each one signals

.in is India’s country-code extension, run by NIXI; .co.in, .net.in, .org.in, .firm.in and .gen.in are second-level names under it that signal a company, network, non-profit, firm or general use. Most are open to any registrant, but NIXI expects accurate registrant identity on every one.

  • Documents: keep PAN, Aadhaar or company papers ready in case the registry asks you to verify the registrant.
  • gov.in is different: it is a government namespace with its own eligibility and process; shops, clinics and private firms cannot buy it here.
  • State and city names: extensions such as .delhi.in, .gujarat.in, .up.in and .bihar.in suit regional businesses.
  • Indian scripts: Hindi and other Indian-language names are covered under IDN domain registration, including .भारत.

Which domain extension should an Indian business choose?

If most customers are in India, choose .in; if a large share is abroad, choose .com; if both matter, register both and redirect one to the other. No extension ranks better in Google by itself — content, links and speed decide that — but .in tells Indian visitors at a glance where you trade.

Local trade

A Jaipur clinic or a Pune bakery: .in, with .co.in as a cheaper company-style alternative.

Export or SaaS

.com first; .io, .ai or .app when the .com is taken and the product is technical.

Niche identity

An industry extension such as .clinic, .restaurant or .consulting when the trade should be visible in the address.

After registration, a site needs web hosting and a team usually needs business email. Names already held elsewhere move through domain transfer, and agencies buying for clients can use the domain reseller programme.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long can I register a domain for?

Most extensions allow 1 to 10 years in one order. A longer term locks the name against accidental expiry, but each year after the first is billed at the renewal price, so multiply the renewal column, not the first-year figure.

Is gov.in the same as a .in domain?

No. gov.in is a government namespace with its own eligibility rules and process. A business, professional or individual registers .in, .co.in or another public extension through a registrar; WebJi® sells those, not government domains.

How fast does a new domain start working?

Public extensions activate as soon as the registry accepts the order. After that, the site loads once your nameserver and DNS records propagate, which depends on the TTLs set at your DNS host.

Can I register a domain without a company or GST number?

Yes. Individuals can hold most extensions, including .in. A GSTIN is only needed if you want it on the invoice for input credit. Some country-code and restricted extensions have their own rules, stated on their pages.

What happens if I forget to renew?

The name stops resolving after expiry and then passes through the registry’s grace and redemption periods, when recovery may cost more. The domain renewal guide explains the stages; keeping auto-renew on avoids them.
