India is one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets, with over 900 million internet users expected by 2025.
To succeed online, your brand needs to look and feel local.
A .in domain does exactly that — it connects you instantly with Indian customers, improves search rankings, and shows commitment to the market.
At Truehost India, registering a .in domain starts at just ₹700/year. Popular second-level domains like .co.in are even cheaper, from ₹316/year.
Whether you’re a startup, an e-commerce store, or an NGO, you’ll find a domain that fits your purpose.

Smart FAQs for .in domains
Is .in only for Indian citizens?
No. Anyone can register .in, including global companies. Restricted domains like .gov.in or .edu.in require Indian credentials.
Why does .co.in cost less than .in?
.in is the flagship extension and slightly more premium. .co.in is equally trusted for businesses but comes at a lower cost — perfect for startups and SMEs.
Can I use a .in for regional targeting, like Bihar or Delhi?
Yes. Domains like .bihar.in or .delhi.in are available at ₹457/year, great for hyperlocal presence.
How does a .in help SEO?
Google prioritizes .in for searches done inside India. If your target audience is Indian, this boosts relevance and rankings.
Are there premium-priced .in domains?
Yes. While most are under ₹700, some specialized ones like .inc or .industries cost thousands due to their global commercial appeal.
Can I set up professional email on my .in?
Absolutely. Owning a domain means you can create addresses like [email protected], which looks far more credible than Gmail or Yahoo.
What happens if I forget to renew?
Your domain enters grace and redemption periods. If still unpaid, it becomes public, and someone else can buy it. Auto-renewal is the safest option.
