What is the .er.in zone?
.er.in is one of the second-level namespaces that India’s .IN Registry offers under the country code .IN, operated by NIXI from New Delhi. It is listed on registry.in next to newer zones such as dr.in, pro.in and biz.in, and follows the same national rules: open registration on a first-come basis, mandatory registrant KYC and disputes under the INDRP.
| Aspect | Position |
|---|---|
| Country code | .IN (India) |
| Registry | .IN Registry under NIXI, a not-for-profit Section 8 company set up in 2003 |
| Authorised since | January 2005, by the Government of India |
| Eligibility | Open; no degree or licence is checked |
| Identity check | KYC required for every registrant |
Who uses an .er.in address?
The main readers are Indian engineers who write “Er.” before their name, much as doctors use “Dr.” — civil, electrical and mechanical engineers, consultants and site engineers. An address such as rajeevsingh.er.in reads as “Er. Rajeev Singh” and suits a personal portfolio, a consulting practice or a CV link on a tender form.
| Use | Example | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Engineer’s title | rajeevsingh.er.in | Structural or site engineer’s portfolio |
| Engineer’s title | gillconsult.er.in | Independent MEP or valuation consultant |
| Engineer’s title | batch2024.er.in | Alumni group of an engineering college |
| Word ending in “-er” | design.er.in | A designer — the address reads “designer.in” |
| Word ending in “-er” | build.er.in | A builder or developer looking for a short address |
Engineering firms with several partners are usually better served by a company name on .co.in or a specialist .engineering domain.
.er.in price and five-year cost
WebJi® registers .er.in at ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for every renewal, before 18% GST, so five years cost ₹4,317. The sum is ₹809 plus four renewals of ₹877 (₹3,508). That is less than a single year of the specialist .engineering extension.
| Extension | First year (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | 5 years (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| .er.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹4,317 |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹5,000 |
| .technology | ₹1,815 | ₹2,205 | ₹10,635 |
| .engineering | ₹9,471 | ₹11,374 | ₹54,967 |

What KYC does an .er.in registration need?
The .IN Registry makes KYC mandatory, so the registrant must be a real, identifiable person or organisation; no engineering degree or council membership is asked for. Register in your own legal name so the portfolio stays yours when you change employer.
- Search the name, starting with your full name before shorter variants.
- Enter registrant details exactly as on your government ID.
- Complete the KYC request WebJi® forwards from the registry.
- Choose 1 to 10 years and pay in INR; the GST invoice is issued straight away.
.er.in or .in for an engineer’s personal site?
Take your name in .in if it is free; take .er.in when it is not, or when you want the Er. title to be part of the address. Both are .IN Registry names with the same KYC and dispute rules, and neither ranks better in Google. Holding both costs ₹1,809 in year one before GST.
Doctors have a parallel zone, .dr.in, and freelancers outside engineering often pick .ind.in for a personal page.
Setting up a portfolio on .er.in
An engineer’s portfolio needs a few pages — projects, qualifications, contact — plus an email that sounds professional, such as mail@rajeevsingh.er.in. That fits easily on shared hosting, or you can build it in the AI website builder. The domain renewal guide explains what happens after expiry.
Frequently asked questions
Is .er.in an official .IN Registry zone?
Yes. er.in is on the list of zones the .IN Registry publishes at registry.in, alongside in, co.in, firm.in and dr.in. It is managed by NIXI under the same policy framework as every other .IN name.
Does .er.in have anything to do with emergency rooms or Eritrea?
No. It is an Indian zone under .IN. Eritrea’s country code is .er, a separate extension, and the “ER” emergency reading is not how Indian visitors usually see it; they read Er. as the engineer’s title.
How much does .er.in cost over five years?
₹4,317 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹809 for the first year and four renewal years at ₹877 each. Paying for the full term upfront avoids any risk of a lapse.
Can an engineering student register a .er.in name?
Yes. No degree is required, and a student can register in their own name after completing KYC. It works well as a project portfolio linked from a résumé or LinkedIn profile.
