What exactly is a .post.in domain?
.post.in is a third-level namespace under India's country-code .in, not a top-level domain of its own — the root zone lists only .in, which NIXI, the National Internet Exchange of India, operates. The zone opened in NIXI's second-level expansion of 29 October 2021, and the registry publishes no category purpose for it, so the reading of "post" — delivery, logistics, mail, or simply "after" — is left to the registrant. It inherits the whole .in rulebook: 1–10 year terms, DNSSEC support and internationalised names in Indian scripts.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Second-level namespace under the .in ccTLD (not an IANA-listed TLD) |
| Registry | NIXI — National Internet Exchange of India |
| Opened | 29 October 2021 zone expansion |
| DNSSEC | Supported under the .in family |
| Labels | 2–63 characters; letters, digits, inner hyphens |
| WHOIS privacy | Not offered on the .in family — see below |
WebJi® sells .in-family names as a registrar partner; accreditation for the registry itself sits with NIXI.
Who picks a .post.in name in India?
Buyers are logistics-adjacent: courier and last-mile firms, packers-and-movers, tracking tools and postal-service-adjacent service brands — plus anyone who simply wants a short, available Indian address at the ₹809 family price. Because the registry assigns no official meaning, the name carries no postal authority; it is branding space, not a licence.
| Who | Example name | Why the zone reads well |
|---|---|---|
| Courier or last-mile firm | citylink.post.in | "Post" says delivery before the brand does |
| Packers and movers | safeghar.post.in | Household-shift branding with an Indian ending |
| Parcel-tracking tool | trackall.post.in | Utility sub-domain vibe for aggregator trackers |
| Courier franchise agent | yourcity.post.in | Micro-site for booking and rate enquiries |
| Philately or postal-history club | stampsindia.post.in | Community archive that wears its subject |
| Side project needing a short address | sidebox.post.in | Cheap, typeable, unmistakably Indian |

.post.in pricing and a five-year budget
.post.in costs ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 per renewal at WebJi®, before 18% GST. That is the standard second-level .in family band — the same figures billed for .co.in and .net.in — with GST on year one adding ₹145.62 for an invoice of ₹954.62.
| Period | Working | Before GST (₹) | With 18% GST (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | ₹809 registration | 809.00 | 954.62 |
| 3 years | ₹809 + ₹877 + ₹877 | 2,563.00 | 3,024.34 |
| 5 years | ₹809 + 4 × ₹877 | 4,317.00 | 5,094.06 |

Verification and documents: the .in family difference
Eligibility is open, but activation is not automatic — NIXI's know-your-customer verification must complete before a new .post.in name resolves. Indian registrants clear it with e-KYC or supporting identification; foreign and non-resident applicants sign a declaration that the name is for a purpose connected with India. Open to all is a rule about who may apply, not a promise of zero paperwork.
- Indian registrants: e-KYC or supporting ID against the registrant details entered at order time.
- Foreign registrants: signed declaration of India-purpose for the name.
- WHOIS: the .in family publishes registrant contact data and offers no privacy proxy — register with business contacts, not personal ones.
- Transfers: authorisation-code based within the family; the remaining term moves with the name rather than adding a year.
The purchase itself is one INR checkout — the general flow is on the domain registration India hub.
.post.in or plain .in — which serves an Indian business better?
.in at ₹1,000 flat is the address customers type without thinking; .post.in at ₹809 is the insider's wordplay that suits delivery-flavoured brands and redirects. Google ranks neither above the other. A common pattern: the main site on .in or .com, a .post.in short-link or campaign domain forwarding to it.
- Primary business domain — .in; familiar, and no verification surprises for your customers to see.
- Logistics branding or tracking micro-site — .post.in states the trade inside the address.
- Budget redirect — at ₹954.62 with GST for year one, .post.in is among the cheapest Indian-family cover you can buy for a brand name.
Running the name after it resolves
Once KYC clears and the nameservers point at your host, a .post.in site answers within hours. A tracking page or courier micro-site fits shared hosting from ₹299 a month; bookings@yourbrand.post.in runs on business email hosting; the domain renewal guide explains the family's suspension and release sequence after expiry, and the domain transfer guide covers moving names between registrars.
Frequently asked questions
Is .post.in connected to India Post or the postal gTLD?
No on both counts. The .post gTLD belongs to the Universal Postal Union and is restricted to the postal sector; .post.in is an open namespace under India's .in that anyone can register. Holding one creates no postal authority, franchise or affiliation with India Post.
What documents does NIXI need to activate a .post.in name?
Indian registrants complete the registry's e-KYC or furnish supporting identification. Foreign and non-resident registrants sign a declaration that the name serves an India-connected purpose. The name resolves only after this verification completes, so file accurate details at order time.
Why is there no WHOIS privacy on .post.in?
NIXI's .in family does not offer a privacy proxy, so the registrant contact details you file are publicly visible in WHOIS. Register with business addresses and phone numbers rather than personal ones.
What does a .post.in name cost for three years, with tax?
₹3,024.34 including 18% GST in the renewal-budget scenario — ₹809 registration plus two renewals at ₹877, with ₹461.34 of GST across the period. Checkout confirms current charges.
Can Devanagari or other Indian-script names be registered under .post.in?
The .in registry runs an internationalised domain name programme for Indian scripts, and the family's second-level zones participate in it. Verify the exact label in this page's search box before ordering, because each script variant is a separate registration.
