India's own extension
Shops, clinics, consultants and brands whose customers are in India. Short names are still easy to find.
Search .in, .co.in, .com and 26 more extensions. Most answers come straight from the registry itself, and every result shows what the name costs to renew, not just the first year.
Nothing available in this list yet. Turn off Available only, or try a variation below.
How we check. Availability is checked live with each registry's public RDAP service. Available means the registry itself answered "not registered". Where a registry has no RDAP service (.io, .co, .me) or doesn't answer in time, we look at public DNS instead and say Likely available or Check at checkout; final confirmation always happens at checkout. Premium names can carry a higher registry price, which checkout shows before you pay. Prices exclude 18% GST.
The first-year price and the renewal price sit side by side, so the cheap year one never hides an expensive year two. Pick one and the search box above fills itself in.
India's own extension
Shops, clinics, consultants and brands whose customers are in India. Short names are still easy to find.

Any business, and the one to own if you sell outside India or export.
Commercial India
Companies and startups trading in India; the lowest renewal of the big three.
Networks and online services
ISPs, SaaS and IT firms, or the natural backup when your .com is taken.
Trusted for non-profits
NGOs, trusts, schools, resident welfare associations and open-source projects.

New brands whose .com is gone. Cheap to start; check the renewal before you commit.
Built for selling online
D2C brands, Instagram sellers and WooCommerce shops that want the purpose in the name.
For people who build things
Startups, dev shops and hardware makers. Reads well on a pitch deck and a business card.
Prices per year in rupees, excluding 18% GST. Compare all 29 extensions, including 3- and 5-year totals.
.in is India's country-code domain, run by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). Customers read it as local, it's cheap to keep, and good names are still available.
Per year, excluding 18% GST. Restore fee for an expired .in-family name: ₹4,999 plus the renewal.
Every name you register or transfer comes with the tools to point it, protect it and keep it, managed from the same client area as your hosting.
Edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and CAA records, or point the nameservers anywhere you like. Changes go live on our nameservers within minutes.
Transfer lock is on by default. You unlock it and request the auth (EPP) code yourself whenever you want to move.
Use hello@ your domain from day one and forward it to the inbox you already check, before you buy mailboxes for business email on your domain.
We email you 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry, then renew automatically if auto-renew is on. Expired names get picked up quickly, so this matters more than it sounds.
Sign your zone so resolvers can tell a real answer from a forged one. Add DS records at the registry from the client area when you use another DNS provider.
Your name, phone and address stay out of public lookups for .com, .net, .org and other eligible gTLDs. Not offered for the .in family under registry policy.
Buy any web or WordPress hosting plan on a 12, 24 or 36-month term and the first year of one .com, .in or .co.in is on us. It renews at the normal domain price. If the hosting is refunded, the domain's first-year price is deducted from the refund.
Lowest prices are on 36-month terms, + 18% GST.
Your domains sit next to your hosting, email and invoices. No separate registrar login, no upsell pages between you and a DNS record.
A domain is cheap to buy and expensive to change once it's on your signboard, invoices and WhatsApp profile. Five minutes with this list saves that.
If you have to spell it out, it's too long. sharmadental.in survives a phone call; drsharmasdentalcarepune.in doesn't.
chai-wala.in sounds exactly like chaiwala.in, and some of your email will land with whoever owns the other one.
Customers in India: .in or .co.in. Customers abroad: .com. Exporters and growing brands often keep both and point one at the other.
Search the name on Instagram, YouTube and the IP India trade marks register before you pay. A clash after launch is costly.
The common misspelling and the other big extension cost a few hundred rupees a year. Forward them to the main site.
Lapsed names are often re-registered by drop-catch services within days of release. Auto-renew plus reminders keeps yours.

A ccTLD is a country-code extension such as .in, run by that country's registry (NIXI for .in) under its own rules. A gTLD is a generic extension such as .com, .org or .store, run under ICANN policies. Both work identically in browsers and for email; the differences are in eligibility, privacy options and price.
Yes. You don't need an Indian address or a registered company to register a .in or .co.in. You do need to give accurate contact details: NIXI can ask registrants to verify them and can suspend names registered with false information.
Many registries discount the first year to attract new registrations, then charge their standard rate. We show both on every search result and in the full price list, so you can see what year two costs before you buy. All prices exclude 18% GST.
We remind you 30, 7 and 1 days before expiry. After expiry there's a grace period of up to 30 days in which you can renew at the normal price. After that the name enters redemption, where restoring it costs a restore fee (₹6,999 for gTLDs, ₹4,999 for the .in family) plus the renewal. If it isn't restored, the registry deletes it and anyone can register it. See the recovery timeline.
Yes, once it's at least 60 days since it was registered or last transferred. Unlock it at your current registrar, copy the auth (EPP) code and start the transfer here. Most extensions get a year added to the expiry date. Check if your domain is ready to transfer.
Yes, on eligible gTLDs such as .com, .net, .org and .store, included with the domain. It isn't offered on .in-family names under registry policy, and country-code extensions such as .io, .co, .me and .ai follow their own registries' rules.
Record changes on our nameservers are live within minutes, but resolvers around the world keep the old answer until its TTL runs out, often an hour or a few hours. Nameserver changes go through the registry and can take up to 24–48 hours to be seen everywhere. Our DNS lookup tool shows what two public resolvers currently see.
If your website is hosted with us, use the nameservers in your hosting welcome email and everything (website, email, SSL certificates) is set up for you. If you host elsewhere, either keep our free DNS and add the records your host gives you, or point the nameservers at your host. Step-by-step guide.
Yes. Most extensions can be registered for up to 10 years; .ai has a 2-year minimum. A multi-year registration costs the first-year price plus the renewal price for each extra year, and you're protected from forgetting a renewal for that whole period.
No. Registrations, renewals and transfers are paid to the registry as soon as they're submitted, so they're excluded from our money-back guarantee. Details are in the refund policy and the domain registration agreement.
Each name is checked live with its registry, and every result shows the first-year and renewal price in rupees.
