How to Register a Domain Name in India

Registering a domain is quick and inexpensive. Here's exactly how to secure your web address in India, step by step.

1. Decide on your name

Choose a short, brandable name and a couple of backups in case your first choice is taken.

2. Check availability

Use a domain registrar or your website builder's domain search to see if it's free. Try .com and .in.

3. Register and pay

A domain typically costs ₹700–₹1,200 per year. Register for at least a year — longer registrations can even help credibility.

4. Keep your details safe

• Use accurate contact and ownership details.
• Enable auto-renew so you never lose the domain.
• Consider privacy protection to hide personal details from public records.

5. Connect it to your website

Point your new domain at your website builder, and you're live on your own address.
