About .in domains
The .in registry is run by NIXI, the National Internet Exchange of India. Anyone can register a .in name; no Indian address proof is asked at the time of registration.
.co.in is a common second choice for companies when the short .in name is taken. Other zones such as .org.in and .net.in also exist.
For a business in Maharashtra, a .in name with the city in it, such as yourshopnashik.in, is easy to remember and matches what local customers search for.
Current registration and renewal prices are shown in the domain search before you pay.
Renewing and transferring
Renewal. A .in domain must be renewed before its expiry date. Turn on auto-renew in the client area. A lapsed name can be lost to another buyer.
Transfer. To bring a .in domain to Hostvento, unlock it at the current registrar and get the transfer code. See domain transfer.
