.in domain FAQs
What is .in domain?
.in is the country-code top-level domain for India. With this domain extension, you can position your brand as a part of the existing Indian online community and gain the trust of millions of internet users in India.
Is .in a good domain extension?
Yes, .in extensions are as good and secure as other top-level domains. They are especially great if you want to sell your services and launch your brand in India.
Even if you already own a generic top-level domain like .net or .org, getting a .in TLD is still a good marketing idea. For example, you can create a website with content specifically tailored to Indian customers’ interests – making them more likely to convert.
Are .in domain names only for India?
This ccTLD is intended for websites related to India. The registry responsible for .in domain registrations is under the authority of the National Internet Exchange of India.
That said, there are no registration restrictions on who can buy these domain names. Individuals, ecommerce businesses, and organizations around the world are welcome to purchase this extension to sell their services online.
Is .in better than .co.in?
Whether you should register .in or .co.in depends on the type of website you’re running.
A .in extension is highly versatile as it has no industry association. Whether you want to create a blog, an online business, or a service website, .in will make your site presentable to the Indian market.
On the other hand, .co.in is usually meant for companies, as that’s what .co stands for. It’s a better option if you want to build a startup or a corporate company site in the country.
How much does .in domain registration cost?
At Hostinger, a .in TLD costs A$ 10.79 for the first year. After that, the renewal fee charge is A$ 15.39/year.
As Hostinger is an ICANN accredited registrar, your domain name will be in the most capable hands. We offer an auto-renewal feature so that your TLD will be automatically re-registered every time the expiration date approaches.
