What is a .tech domain?
.tech is an open generic top-level domain for technology businesses, managed by Radix Technologies Inc.; IANA records it as delegated since 21 March 2015. Its registry has changed hands three times — from Dot Tech LLC to Personals TLD Inc. (February 2021), Radix FZC (August 2021) and Radix Technologies Inc. (February 2024). The zone is DNSSEC-signed and nobody is screened before registering.

Who registers .tech in India?
.tech is chosen by companies whose product is technology — SaaS start-ups, hardware and IoT makers, IT service firms and the communities around them. The ending lets a short brand word stand alone, such as kisan.tech or ledger.tech, where the .com has long been taken.
| Buyer | Example | Why .tech reads right |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS start-up | invoicely.tech | Product name plus category in one address |
| Agritech or healthtech venture | kisan.tech | Pairs a sector word with “tech” naturally |
| IoT or electronics maker | smartmeter.tech | Signals hardware engineering, not a reseller |
| IT services or dev agency | yourstudio.tech | Separates the engineering brand from a generic agency |
| Hackathon or developer meetup | punedevs.tech | Community address that outlasts one event |
| Gadget reviewer or tech creator | yourchannel.tech | Channel site and media-kit page |
How much does a .tech domain cost in India?
A .tech domain costs ₹4,400 a year at WebJi®, and the renewal is the same ₹4,400, before 18% GST. A flat rate makes budgeting simple: three years come to ₹13,200 before tax. It sits at the upper end of tech-flavoured extensions, so compare before you commit.
| Extension | Year 1 (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | 3 years (₹) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .tech | ₹4,400 | ₹4,400 | ₹13,200 | Register → |
| .io | ₹2,800–3,800 | ₹3,200–4,200 | ₹9,200–12,200 | Quote → |
| .app | ₹1,470 | ₹1,500 | ₹4,470 | Register → |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹3,000 | Register → |
.io is shown as WebJi®’s published band; the exact .io figure is confirmed per name. Premium .tech names are priced individually before payment.
Is .tech restricted to technology companies?
No. Any individual or organisation can register .tech; the registry checks no industry, incorporation or residency. Ownership rules are the ordinary gTLD ones: accurate contact details, an acceptable-use policy, and trademark disputes through ICANN’s UDRP.
- Documents: none at registration; a GSTIN only if you want input credit.
- Privacy: WHOIS masking available where the registry allows it.
- HTTPS: optional, unlike .app and .dev, which are HSTS-preloaded — but install SSL anyway.
- Transfers: possible after the first 60 days, with the auth code.
When is .tech the wrong choice?
Skip .tech if the business may pivot away from technology, if Indian customers outside the tech world must type the address, or if the ₹4,400 renewal is hard to justify for a side project. In those cases a .in or .com keeps options open.
Funded start-ups often hold both: the product on .tech for recall among developers and investors, and a .in or .com redirect for everyone else. Start-up hosting and the .dev page cover the next decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the .tech registry operator?
Radix Technologies Inc., based in the Cayman Islands, manages .tech according to IANA, with Tucows as the technical contact. Radix also operates .online, .store, .site and .website.
When was .tech launched?
IANA delegated .tech to Dot Tech LLC on 21 March 2015 under ICANN’s new gTLD programme. It later passed through Personals TLD Inc. and Radix FZC before reaching Radix Technologies Inc. in February 2024.
Does the .tech price rise after the first year?
Not at WebJi®’s listed rate: registration and renewal are both ₹4,400 a year before 18% GST, so five years cost ₹22,000. Premium names follow their own quoted renewal.
Is .tech or .io better for an Indian SaaS start-up?
.io is the better-known start-up ending and costs a little less over three years; .tech states the category more plainly to non-technical buyers. Check which exact name is free on each before deciding.
Can I use DNSSEC on a .tech domain?
Yes. The .tech zone has a secure delegation at the root, so you can sign your name when your DNS host supports DNSSEC.
