Quick answer
.co.com is a private namespace under .com, sold on CentralNic's registry platform; it is not an ICANN top-level domain or a country code. WebJi® registers it at ₹2,700 for the first year and ₹3,267 per renewal, before 18% GST. It suits Indian firms named '& Co.' and start-ups whose exact .com is taken.

What is a .co.com domain?
.co.com is a private second-level namespace: the name co.com is registered inside the ordinary .com zone, and CentralNic’s registry platform sells names beneath it, such as yourfirm.co.com. It is not an ICANN top-level domain and not a country code, yet it resolves worldwide like any other domain.
Because the parent is a .com, the address inherits the .com ending visitors already trust, with “co” in front to read as “company”. CentralNic Group plc renamed itself Team Internet Group plc in September 2023; its registry arm still runs this and other country-plus-generic zones on gTLD-style policies.

Which Indian businesses use .co.com?
.co.com fits Indian firms whose name already ends in “& Co.” or “Company”, and start-ups whose exact .com is gone. The ending reads naturally after a family or partnership name, which plain .com cannot do without a longer label.
Trading houses
Old Indian merchant names like “Agarwal Trading Co.” fit agarwaltrading.co.com for export enquiries.
Start-ups locked out of .com
When brand.com is parked and brand.co is expensive, brand.co.com is often free at a standard price.
Brand protection
Companies that already own brand.com sometimes hold brand.co.com so a lookalike cannot be used for phishing.
The trade-off is recognition: some visitors will type .com or .co by habit, so say the full address clearly on cards and invoices.
What does .co.com cost against .co and .com.co?
.co.com costs ₹2,700 for the first year and ₹3,267 per renewal at WebJi®, before 18% GST, so three years come to ₹9,234 (₹2,700 + ₹3,267 + ₹3,267). That sits between Colombia’s .co, which is dearer, and .com.co, which is cheaper but reads as Colombian.
| Extension | Year 1 | Renewal | 3 years | Who runs it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .co.com | ₹2,700 | ₹3,267 | ₹9,234 | CentralNic, private namespace |
| .co | ₹3,712 | ₹3,955 | ₹11,622 | Colombia’s ccTLD, sold worldwide |
| .com.co | ₹1,417 | ₹1,728 | ₹4,873 | Colombia’s commercial second level |
| .com | ₹1,380 | ₹1,480 | ₹4,340 | Verisign |

Are there rules for registering .co.com?
No eligibility rules apply: CentralNic sells .co.com first come, first served to individuals, companies and organisations anywhere. An Indian registrant uses Indian contact details; no GSTIN, PAN or trademark is checked.
- Contact verification: the registrant email gets a confirmation message and must stay reachable.
- Transfers: use an authorisation code, can take up to 6 days and add one year to the term.
- Disputes: a trademark owner files under the CDRP, so UDRP precedents do not apply directly.
How .co.com expiry works
An expired .co.com goes through a published 66-day ladder before anyone else can register it. Knowing the stages tells you what a late renewal will cost.
- Days 1–33, soft quarantine: the name stops working but can be restored free by renewing.
- Next 28 days, quarantine: restore is still possible, with a registry fee on top of renewal.
- Final 5 days, PendingDelete: no restore; the name is then released.
Deleting a name on purpose skips straight to quarantine. Auto-renew avoids the ladder; the domain renewal guide explains how other registries handle the same stages.
Should you buy .co.com or wait for the .com?
Buy .co.com when the exact .com is unavailable at a sensible price and your name already contains “Co.”; otherwise a plain .com or .in is easier for customers to remember. Search engines do not reward or penalise the ending, so the decision is about recall and budget. Indian-first firms often pair a .co.in at ₹809 with the .co.com, and US-facing sellers compare it with .us.com at ₹2,000. Hosting, email and transfers work as on any domain — see domain registration in India for the full range.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the .co.com namespace?
Names under co.com are sold on CentralNic’s registry platform, now part of Team Internet Group plc. The co.com label itself is an ordinary .com registration, which is why .co.com names work everywhere without any change to the DNS root.
Is .co.com the same as .co?
No. .co is Colombia’s country code, opened to registrants worldwide in 2010. .co.com sits under .com and is run by CentralNic. They have different registries, prices, transfer rules and dispute policies.
What does a .co.com cost for three years?
₹9,234 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹2,700 for year one and ₹3,267 for each of the next two years. Three years of .co cost ₹11,622, and three years of .com cost ₹4,340.
Can a CA firm named “& Co.” use .co.com professionally?
Yes, there is no restriction on professional use. Check your institute’s current rules on firm websites and email, and keep a matching business mailbox such as audit@firmname.co.com so client correspondence carries the same name.
Can I restore a .co.com after it expires?
Within the first 33 days a renewal restores it free. For the following 28 days a restore fee applies. After that comes a 5-day PendingDelete with no restore, then the name is released to the public.
