Who registers a .website domain in India?
.website is mostly bought by people for whom the site itself is the product or the portfolio: web designers, freelancers, small businesses whose .com is taken, and agencies staging client work. The word explains itself to any visitor, including those who have never seen a newer extension.
- Web designer’s portfolio: jaipurdesigner.website shows the trade in the address.
- Freelance developer: yourname.website as a CV and contact page.
- Café, salon or clinic: the business name plus .website when the .com and .in are both gone.
- Agency client previews: clientname.website for staging before the main domain goes live.
- Students and small projects: a project site for a college fest or a hobby club.
For shops, coaching centres and event vendors, test the address aloud before printing it on signs, bills or invitations. Use a short, easy-to-spell name and put it into print only after the site or holding page is live.

Is .website restricted to any type of registrant?
No. Radix runs .website as an open extension: any person or organisation in India or abroad can register, with no documents and no nexus test. The first completed order for an available name takes it.
- Term: 1 to 10 years; renew in the same blocks.
- New-name lock: a freshly registered or transferred name cannot move registrar for 60 days.
- Disputes: trademark complaints follow ICANN’s UDRP.
- Labels: letters, digits and inner hyphens.
.website vs .site, .online and .com
Choose .website when you want the full, unmistakable word and the business is small or personal; choose .com whenever the exact name is still available, because it is cheaper and more familiar. No ending is a ranking factor in Google.
- .website — ₹2,861; long but clear, rarely mistaken for anything else.
- .site — three letters shorter; price confirmed per name.
- .xyz — ₹1,754; cheaper, though it says nothing about the business.
- .com — ₹1,380; still the first guess for most visitors.
The domain registration India hub covers Indian options such as .in and .co.in.
Putting a site on a .website name
The domain is only the address; the site needs hosting or a builder, and the two are billed separately. For a quick portfolio, the AI website builder gets a page live without code, while shared hosting suits a WordPress site with email. Moving a .website from another registrar is covered under domain transfer.
A .website address can also be used for business email. Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC with your mail provider, and check the records after setup.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the .website registry?
Radix Technologies Inc., registered in Grand Cayman, is the manager on the IANA record, with Tucows listed as technical contact. Radix also operates extensions such as .online, .site and .store.
What does a .website domain cost for three years?
₹8,935 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹2,861 for the first year plus two renewals at ₹3,037. With GST the total comes to ₹10,543.30.
Is a .website address good for a web designer?
It is one of the clearest fits: the ending names the trade, and short personal names are usually still free. Pair it with a matching business email so client mail does not come from a free webmail account.
Can I move a .website domain to WebJi® right after buying it elsewhere?
Not for the first 60 days after registration or a previous transfer. After that, unlock it, get the authorisation code and place a ₹2,861 transfer order, which also adds one year to the expiry date.
Does .website support DNSSEC?
Yes. The zone has a secure delegation in the root, so you can sign your name once your DNS host supports it.
