India ccTLD
Register a .in domain
Register a .in domain to reach India's massive online market on the country's own official address. .in has been administered by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) through INRegistry since 2005, and registration has stayed open to anyone worldwide from the start — no Indian residency, citizenship, or local office required.
$18.40/yr
Currently renews at $18.40/year. Minimum 1-year registration: $18.40 before tax.
Privacy free
Who picks .in?
- Companies selling into or hiring across the Indian market who want local credibility built into the URL
- Indian startups establishing their primary web presence
- Brands that already own their .com and want the .in variant secured to protect the name in India
What it signals
A .in domain tells the market you're building specifically for India — hiring there, selling there, or standing up a legal presence there — rather than pointing a generic global storefront at the country and hoping it lands.
Pros
- India's official, government-designated ccTLD — instantly recognizable to Indian customers and search users
- Open worldwide, no residency or local-presence requirement to qualify
- Current registration and renewal rates are shown separately below; rates can change
- Free WHOIS privacy where registrar and registry rules permit it
- Business email and setup help are available as separate services
Watch-outs
- Standard registrant-contact verification applies, as with most ccTLDs — we couldn't independently confirm a specific 2026 passport-based e-KYC mandate for international registrants, so check current requirements at signup rather than assuming a process
- Unlike some ccTLDs, .in isn't a domain-hack shorthand — it reads as India-specific to most visitors, which is the point but limits it outside that context
- WHOIS privacy can be constrained by registrant-verification rules even where it's offered
