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
Renews at the same price. No tricks.
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
- Flat renewal price at modusdom.com, no jump after the first year
- Free WHOIS privacy where registrar and registry rules permit it
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC email setup done for you so mail from your .in address lands in the inbox
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

Common questions about .in domains
How much does a .in domain cost?
A .in domain is $18.40 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $18.40 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .in domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .in stays $18.40/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .in domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .in domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .in domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
Is a .in domain right for my business?
