Question 1

How do I register a domain name in India?

Accepted Answer

Registering a domain name in India is simple: search for your desired domain on this page, choose your extension (.IN, .COM, .NET, etc.), add to cart, complete payment, and your domain is activated within minutes. We are NIXI accredited and have been registering Indian domains since 2007.

Question 2

How much does a .IN domain cost in India?

Accepted Answer

Our .IN domain price starts at ₹625 per year, with .CO.IN, .NET.IN, .ORG.IN at ₹525 per year. We are NIXI accredited and offer competitive pricing on Indian domain extensions with no hidden fees.

Question 3

Are you NIXI accredited for .IN domain registration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Domain India is an official NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India) accredited registrar for .IN domains. NIXI is the official .IN domain registry, and only accredited registrars can register .IN domains directly. We have been NIXI accredited since 2022 and have been offering Indian domain services since 2007.

Question 4

What is included with domain registration?

Accepted Answer

Every domain registration includes: free DNS management with all record types, free domain forwarding, free email forwarding, free domain lock for transfer protection, and 24/7 customer support — all at no extra cost. WHOIS privacy is included free for .IN / .CO.IN domains (NIXI registry redacts registrant data by default); on gTLDs such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG, WHOIS privacy is available as a paid add-on (₹300/year + GST).

Question 5

How long does domain registration take?

Accepted Answer

Most domains are registered instantly. Once payment is confirmed, your domain is active within minutes. .IN domains require eKYC verification (Aadhaar/PAN for Indian nationals or passport for foreign nationals) per NIXI requirements, which can be completed in a few minutes online.

Question 6

Can I register a domain for multiple years?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can register most domains for 1 to 10 years. Multi-year registrations save money and protect against price increases. We recommend registering for 2-3 years for important domains. .IN domains can be registered for up to 10 years at a time.

Question 7

What is WHOIS privacy and is it free?

Accepted Answer

WHOIS privacy hides your personal contact information (name, address, phone, email) from public WHOIS lookups. Without privacy, anyone can see your registrant details. For .IN / .CO.IN domains, privacy is included free at no charge — NIXI (the .IN registry) redacts registrant data by default for all .IN registrants. For .COM, .NET, .ORG and other gTLDs, WHOIS privacy is available as an optional add-on at ₹300/year + GST per domain (it is not bundled into the registration fee, since the upstream gTLD registries do not redact data by default).

Question 8

Can I transfer my domain to Domain India?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can transfer domains from any registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, BigRock, etc.) to us. Transfers add 1 year to your existing domain expiry. Just visit our domain transfer page, enter the EPP/auth code from your current registrar, and we handle the rest. Free for most TLDs.

Question 9

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major Indian payment methods: UPI (PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm), credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), debit cards, net banking from all major Indian banks, and bank transfer. International customers can pay via PayPal or international cards. All payments are processed securely with SSL encryption.

Question 10

Do you charge GST on domain registration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 18% GST is applicable on domain registration as per Indian tax laws. The GST is shown clearly on your invoice. We are GST registered and provide proper GST invoices. Businesses can claim input tax credit on the GST paid for domain registrations.

Question 11

What happens when my domain expires?

Accepted Answer

We send multiple renewal reminders 60, 30, 15, 7, and 1 day before expiry. After expiration, there is a 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the regular price. After the grace period, domains enter a 30-day redemption period with a higher fee (~₹7,500). After day 78, domains are permanently deleted.

Question 12

Can I get .IN domain without Aadhaar?

Accepted Answer

For Indian nationals, NIXI requires either Aadhaar or PAN card for .IN domain eKYC verification. Foreign nationals can use passport, driving license, or voter ID with a self-declaration. The eKYC process is fully online and takes just a few minutes. This is a NIXI requirement, not ours, but we make the process simple.

Question 13

Do you offer bulk domain registration discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer special pricing for bulk domain registrations (10+ domains). Contact our sales team for custom quotes if you need to register many domains at once. We also offer reseller pricing for those starting their own domain business.

Question 14

Which is the cheapest .IN domain registrar in India?

Accepted Answer

Our .IN domain pricing at ₹625/year is competitive in India. Combined with free WHOIS privacy on .IN (NIXI redacts registrant data by default), free DNS, free email forwarding, and 24/7 support — all included at no extra cost — we offer strong value for .IN domain registration in India. No upselling, no hidden fees.

Question 15

Can I register domain without hosting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can register a domain without hosting. Many customers register domains for future use, branding protection, or to point to existing services. We offer free DNS management so you can configure your domain however you want, even without our hosting. You can always add hosting later.

Question 16

What is the difference between .IN and .CO.IN?

Accepted Answer

.IN is the primary country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for India and is open to anyone worldwide. .CO.IN is specifically for Indian companies and businesses. Both are official Indian domains managed by NIXI. .IN is more popular and shorter, while .CO.IN is preferred by some businesses for the explicit company association.

Question 17

Do you support international domains like .COM and .ORG?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer 600+ domain extensions including all popular international TLDs: .COM, .NET, .ORG, .INFO, .BIZ, .CO, .IO, .APP, .DEV, .AI, .ME, .US, .UK, .EU and many more. We also offer new gTLDs like .ONLINE, .SHOP, .STORE, .TECH, .SITE.

Question 18

Can I get a refund if I no longer want my domain?

Accepted Answer

Domain registrations are typically non-refundable once registered because we pay the registry immediately. However, if there is a technical issue or duplicate registration, contact us within 24 hours for resolution. For peace of mind, we recommend double-checking your domain name before completing payment.

Question 19

How do I point my domain to my website or hosting?

Accepted Answer

After registering, you have two options: (1) Use our free DNS management to add A records, CNAME records, etc. pointing to your hosting IP/server. (2) Change nameservers to your hosting providers nameservers in our control panel. Both options are free, and our support team can help if needed.
