What is a .ind.in domain?
.ind.in is the zone of India’s .in domain that the .IN Registry labels “ind.in (individuals)”: an address such as priyasharma.ind.in that belongs to a person rather than a business. It is administered by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) in New Delhi and uses the same signed .in infrastructure as every other .in name.
- Intended holder: one named individual — the label itself says “individual”.
- Who the registry accepts: any party worldwide; NIXI imposes no nexus or qualification test on this zone.
- Length: 3 to 63 characters, so initials like “rk” are too short, but “rkv” works.
- Term: 1 to 10 years per order, the general .IN rule since October 2008.
- DNSSEC: the .in parent zone carries a secure delegation at the root.
Who uses a personal .ind.in name?
People whose own name is their professional identity: freelancers, consultants, job-seekers, writers and anyone who wants an email address that is not tied to a free provider or an employer. The exact spelling of a common Indian name is usually long gone on .com and .in; on .ind.in it is often still free.
Job applicant
A CV page and hello@yourname.ind.in look settled next to a long free-mail address.
Doctor, lawyer or teacher who writes
Articles and talks under a personal byline, kept apart from the clinic or chamber site.
Student
A portfolio that survives the move from college email to the first job.
Family
Shared addresses such as papa@ or ritu@ on one surname, for life.
What does a .ind.in domain cost over ten years?
WebJi® lists .ind.in at ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 per renewal year, before 18% GST — ₹8,702 for a full decade. A personal name tends to be kept for a long time, so the long-run figure matters more than the first invoice. The working: ₹809 + (9 × ₹877) = ₹8,702.
| Address | Year 1 | Years 2–10 (each) | Ten-year total |
|---|---|---|---|
| yourname.ind.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹8,702 |
| yourname.in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹10,000 |
| yourname.me | ₹2,038 | ₹2,146 | ₹21,352 |
The .in and .me rows use the prices on those extensions’ WebJi® pages, read 14 November 2026.
What does a .ind.in name show about you in WHOIS?
Your registrant, administrative and technical contact details are published in the public .IN WHOIS; only the billing contact is hidden, and WHOIS privacy is not offered on .in names. For a company that is routine. For an individual it means your name, postal address, phone and email can be looked up by anyone.
- Details must be true and accurate — the registry rule does not allow a made-up address.
- Use a mailbox you will keep for decades; it is how renewals and transfers are approved.
- Expect marketing calls to the published number, and decide which number to give with that in mind.
- Check what is visible now with a WHOIS lookup; the WHOIS privacy guide explains where masking is possible on other extensions.
Do you need documents to register .ind.in?
You do not prove that you are an individual, but you may be asked to complete identity verification: the .IN Registry states KYC is mandatory under CERT-In’s Section 70B directions. In practice that is the same check a business registrant faces, done once against your own name.
The registry does not refuse a company that orders .ind.in, yet the address then reads as a personal page. A business should look at .firm.in for firms or .co.in instead.
.ind.in vs .in vs .me for a personal brand
Take yourname.in if it is free and you want the shortest address; take .ind.in when the exact name matters more than length; take .me when your audience is international. All three let you build the same site and mailbox — the choice is availability, cost and how the address reads aloud.
- .ind.in — lowest ten-year cost; states “individual” in the address.
- .in — four characters shorter than .ind.in; common names rarely available.
- .me — reads well worldwide; costs about two and a half times as much over ten years.
Setting up your .ind.in site and email
Most people start with a one-page portfolio and a personal mailbox. The guide to making a portfolio website covers the content; the page itself runs on shared hosting, and a professional inbox on business email. Paying several years ahead removes the risk of a lapsed renewal taking your email with it.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long can I register a .ind.in name for?
Anywhere from one to ten years in a single order. The .IN Registry has allowed terms up to ten years since 16 October 2008, and the same limit applies to renewals.
My name has only two letters. Can I still get a .ind.in?
Not as two letters alone, because .IN labels must be at least three characters. Add an initial or your surname — for example “om” becomes “omk” or “omkumar”.
Can I keep my Gmail and use a .ind.in address?
Yes. You can forward mail from you@yourname.ind.in to an existing inbox, or host the mailbox properly so that replies also come from the new address. The domain works with either setup.
Will my home address be public if I register .ind.in?
The registrant’s postal details are shown in .IN WHOIS, and privacy masking is not available. Give accurate details you are comfortable having published, such as a correspondence address rather than a home address if you have one.
Can I register a .ind.in name for my child or parent?
You can buy it in their name if their real details are used as the registrant, or hold it yourself and let them use it. Whoever is the registrant controls renewals and transfers, so choose deliberately.
