.co.in
A .co.in domain is a country code domain for India, run by the National Internet Exchange of India, the registry for the .IN space. India has the world’s second largest Internet user base, which makes this extension a practical way to signal a connection to the Indian market.
The extension supports DNSSEC, which helps protect your visitors from forged DNS answers. Names can be between 3 and 63 characters long, and you can register for a minimum term of 1 year and renew in 1 year steps. Internationalised names are not allowed, so your domain must use standard characters.
A .co.in domain suits companies offering international products to people in India, or any business that wants a local-looking address there. Before you register, check that your chosen name meets the length rule and that you are comfortable with the registry’s conditions on who may hold these names.
The registry sets conditions on who can hold a .IN name, so confirm you meet them before you apply.
- Registrations for the .IN space are limited to 2 domain names per entity.
- You do not need a local presence in India to register a .co.in domain.
- Your contact details must be accurate and kept up to date with the registry.
Keep your domain active by renewing it before the expiry date.
- After expiry there is a 59-day grace period in which you can still renew the domain.
- There is no separate redemption period.
- If the domain is not renewed by the end of the grace period, the name is released.
