What is a .up.in domain?
.up.in is the Uttar Pradesh–named zone inside .in, India’s country-code domain, administered by NIXI’s .IN Registry. A name takes the form yourbrand.up.in. NIXI lists up.in among its live zones with delhi.in, bihar.in and gujarat.in, and the .in family rules apply: open registration, mandatory KYC, no WHOIS privacy and the INDRP dispute policy.
- Registry: .IN Registry, National Internet Exchange of India, New Delhi.
- Eligibility: open to anyone; no Uttar Pradesh address required.
- Verification: KYC on the registrant must clear before the name resolves.
- Term: 1 to 10 years, renewed in the same blocks.
Which Uttar Pradesh businesses suit a .up.in name?
The clearest fit is UP’s district-product economy: the state’s One District One Product (ODOP) programme ties named crafts and industries to districts, and buyers already search by that origin. A .up.in name lets a seller lead with both the product and the state.
| District | Product | Example name |
|---|---|---|
| Moradabad | Brass and metal handicrafts | moradabadbrass.up.in |
| Firozabad | Glassware and bangles | firozabadglass.up.in |
| Bhadohi | Hand-knotted carpets | bhadohicarpets.up.in |
| Varanasi | Banarasi silk sarees | banarasisilk.up.in |
| Lucknow | Chikankari embroidery | lucknowchikan.up.in |
| Saharanpur | Wood carving | saharanpurwood.up.in |
Service businesses use it too — a Noida IT firm, a Prayagraj coaching centre or an Agra travel agent — when the state matters to their customers.
How much does a .up.in domain cost?
WebJi® billing lists .up.in at ₹809 to register, ₹809 to transfer and ₹877 a year to renew, before 18% GST. For planning only, keeping a name for ten years at today’s prices would cost ₹809 plus nine renewals at ₹877, ₹8,702 in all; any prepaid multi-year price is shown at checkout.
Should a UP business also register a Hindi-script domain?
If customers search and type in Hindi, a Devanagari .भारत name is worth adding alongside the Latin-script .up.in. IANA lists .भारत as one of India’s country-code domains, managed by NIXI and in the root since 6 February 2011, so it carries the same Indian registry backing.
Most visitors will still type Latin letters on phones, so keep .up.in (or .in) as the address on visiting cards and use the Hindi name on hoardings, newspaper ads and WhatsApp forwards aimed at Hindi readers.
.up.in vs .in and .co.in
Use .in when your exact brand is free there; .up.in when it is not, or when the state is part of the pitch; .co.in when you want to read as a company. All three are Indian country-code addresses, and none ranks better than another.
A Noida or Ghaziabad business serving all of Delhi NCR may find .delhi.in more recognisable, and Uttarakhand businesses have .uk.in. The plain .in renews at ₹1,000 a year.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business in Uttar Pradesh to register .up.in?
No. The .in family is open to anyone on a first-come basis. A Mumbai exporter of Bhadohi carpets or an overseas buyer can register one; the KYC check only confirms the registrant’s identity.
Is .up.in an official UP government domain?
No. It is a commercial .in zone sold to anyone. Government departments use government domains such as .gov.in, so avoid names or emblems that suggest an official state body.
Can an ODOP-registered artisan use a .up.in name for an online shop?
Yes. The domain is independent of the scheme, so any artisan or cluster group can register. Show the district, the craft and any GI tag or certification you hold so buyers know the product’s origin.
Why can my .up.in details be seen in WHOIS?
The .in registry does not offer a privacy proxy. Register with a business address, a shop or office phone and a role email so personal details stay off the public record.
