What is a .net.in domain — and how is it different from .net and .in.net?
A .net.in domain is a name such as yourbroadband.net.in inside India’s .in country code, administered by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI); it is neither the global .net nor the privately sold .in.net. The three look alike on a business card but sit in different registries, with different rules and prices.
| Ending | What it is | Registry | WebJi® listed price |
|---|---|---|---|
| .net.in | A zone of the Indian country code | NIXI, New Delhi | ₹809, renews ₹877 |
| .net | Generic top-level domain, created in 1985 | Verisign | ₹1,650, renews ₹1,950 |
| .in.net | A sub-domain of .net resold privately as an “extension” | Not part of the .IN Registry | Not offered here |
Every .net.in name inherits the .in zone’s DNSSEC-signed delegation and NIXI’s policies: a 1 to 10 year term, 3–63 character labels, and registration open to any party worldwide.
Which businesses register .net.in?
By convention .net.in marks a network business — an internet service provider, broadband or cable operator, Wi-Fi provider or network contractor. NIXI does not check a licence, so the label is a signal you choose, not a permission you earn.
| Operator | Example | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Local broadband ISP | citifibre.net.in | Plans, coverage map, bill payment |
| Cable TV and internet operator | sharmacable.net.in | Recharge and complaint booking for subscribers |
| Public Wi-Fi provider | campuswifi.net.in | Captive login page and voucher sales |
| Structured-cabling contractor | lanworks.net.in | Project portfolio for office fit-outs |
| Managed network services firm | noc247.net.in | Client status page and ticket desk |
How much does a .net.in domain cost compared with .net?
WebJi® lists .net.in at ₹809 to register and ₹877 per renewal year, before 18% GST — less than half the five-year cost of a .net. Five years of .net.in total ₹4,317 (₹809 + 4 × ₹877), against ₹9,450 for .net (₹1,650 + 4 × ₹1,950) and ₹5,000 for .in.
Do you need an ISP licence to register .net.in?
No. The .IN Registry lists net.in among its unrestricted zones, open to all parties worldwide with no nexus or qualification test. What applies is the registry’s general requirement: true, accurate contact details, and identity verification where asked, since NIXI states KYC is mandatory under CERT-In’s Section 70B directions.
- Registrant: use the operating company or proprietorship, the same entity that holds your telecom authorisation, if any.
- Public WHOIS: registrant, admin and technical contacts are displayed; give the NOC or office line, not a field engineer’s mobile.
- Transfers: not allowed for 60 days after creation; each transfer adds one year.
Planning sub-domains on a .net.in name
A network operator usually runs several services from one .net.in name, so decide the sub-domains before launch. Separate hostnames let you move the billing system or the status page to another server without touching the main site.
- pay.yourisp.net.in — subscriber bill payment and recharge.
- status.yourisp.net.in — outage notices, hosted away from your own network so it stays up during a fault.
- support.yourisp.net.in — complaint tickets and installation requests.
- mail.yourisp.net.in — staff and customer mailboxes, with SPF, DKIM and DMARC records set.
The guide to sub-domains explains the records involved, and an email authentication checker confirms the mail records once they are live.
Hosting a .net.in site after registration
Point the nameservers and publish; a plans-and-payments site for a local ISP is light enough for shared hosting, while a self-hosted billing platform belongs on cloud hosting. Existing names move in through domain transfer, and the wider choice of endings is on the domain registration in India hub.
Frequently asked questions
Is .net.in only for internet service providers?
No. The registry accepts any registrant. The network meaning is a convention, so a software or IT services firm can use it, though customers will read it as a connectivity business.
Is .in.net the same as .net.in?
No. .in.net is a sub-domain of the global .net, sold by a private company, and it is outside NIXI’s .IN Registry. .net.in is the Indian zone. Check the order of the words before you pay.
What does a .net.in domain cost for five years?
₹4,317 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for each of the next four. A .net for the same five years costs ₹9,450.
Can a small cable operator without a company register .net.in?
Yes. A proprietor can register in their own name or the business name, with accurate contact details and KYC if requested. The registry asks for no incorporation certificate or telecom licence.
Does .net.in support DNSSEC?
The .in zone above it is signed and has a secure delegation at the root, so a .net.in name can be signed once your DNS host supports DNSSEC and publishes the DS record through the registrar.
