Included

Nothing sold back to you at checkout

The things other registrars turn into line items are part of the price here.

WHOIS privacy, free

Your name, address and phone stay out of the public record. Most registrars charge ₹300 a year for this. Not available on .in — the registry doesn't allow it.

Theft protection

Registrar lock is on from day one, so nobody can start a transfer without your auth code.

Full DNS control

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV records, editable from your dashboard. Or point the nameservers anywhere else.

Email forwarding

Forward hello@yourname.in to whichever inbox you already read, without paying for a mailbox.

Buying hosting too?

The domain comes free with an annual plan

Pick any 12-month hosting plan and one domain is included for the first year — .in, .com, .co.in and a few others. You choose it during checkout, so there’s no need to register it separately here first.

  • Free for the first year, then the normal renewal price
  • DNS is pre-pointed at your hosting, nothing to configure
  • Keep the domain if you leave — it's yours, not ours

Already registered

Renewals run automatically 30 days before expiry, with an invoice emailed first. Turn it off per domain in the dashboard.

DNS and nameservers are managed from your domain list, including auth codes for moving out.

Questions

Before you register

Do I need hosting to register a domain?

No. A domain on its own is fine — plenty of people register a name to hold it, or to point at a site hosted elsewhere. You can add hosting later without moving anything.

Why is the renewal price higher than the first year?

First-year prices on some extensions are promotional, set by the registry rather than by us. We print both prices on this page so the second year isn't a surprise. Renewal is what you'll actually pay every year after the first.

How fast does it go live?

Registration is instant for most extensions. DNS then takes 15 minutes to a few hours to spread. .in domains occasionally sit in a registry queue for an hour or so.

Can I register a name for more than a year?

Yes — up to 10 years for most extensions, chosen at checkout. Longer registrations are a mild signal of legitimacy to search engines and mean one less renewal to forget.

What happens if I let it expire?

You get a 30-day grace period at the normal renewal price. After that it enters redemption for another 30 days, where the registry charges roughly ₹6,500 to pull it back. Then it drops and anyone can take it. Auto-renew is on by default for a reason.
