Learn about the guidelines and features of .in and .co.in domains.

You can register, transfer, or connect domains ending in .in and .co.in to Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in India.

The .in and .co.in country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .co.in domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or in your domains dashboard.

TLD features

Browse the table below to learn about the unique features and rules of registering or transferring a domain ending in .in or .co.in. If you connect a .in or .co.in domain to your site from a third-party provider, these guidelines don’t apply.
Feature Rules
Registration grace period There’s no grace period to cancel these domains and no refunds. Before registering the domain, ensure you want to keep it. Double-check the domain for typos.
Renewals The auto-renew option locks so that you can't enable or disable auto-renew when your domain is within 30 days of renewal.
Domain registrant verification emails Your domain registrar and the domain name registry, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), may email you to confirm your contact details. Always read these messages to ensure your domain doesn't expire or get suspended. If you're unsure if an email is legitimate, contact the registry or your registrar to verify the request.
Expired domains If your domain expires, your next steps depend on who your registrar is: Tucows: You have 40 days after the domain’s expiration date to renew your domain using the Renew button in your domains dashboard. If you don't renew the domain within 40 days, you'll then have a 30-day redemption period to contact Tucows and request a renewal. Keep in mind, there may be a fee to restore the domain in addition to the current domain price. Key-Systems: You have approximately 30 days after the domain’s expiration date to renew your domain using the Renew button in your domains dashboard. If your domain no longer appears in your domains dashboard, the option to renew it may no longer be available, but you can contact us to confirm if the domain can be reactivated. Keep in mind, there may be a redemption fee to restore the domain in addition to the current domain price. The fee varies by TLD and appears in your order summary at checkout.
Free domain offer You can use the free domain offer when registering or transferring these domains.
Registering multiple domains If registrants want to register more than two .co.in domains (for individual registrants) or more than 100 .co.in domains (for businesses and organizations), they must email ceo@nixi.com for written approval. Without approval, the registry may delete the extra domains without letting the registrant know. Approval typically takes 24 hours. Squarespace isn't responsible for the approval or domain deletion.
Transferring to Squarespace At the time of transfer, you’ll purchase a one-year extension of your domain registration through Squarespace. You’ll keep the time remaining on your current registration, plus an additional year.
Privacy Whois privacy isn't available.
No temporary email addresses When you register and manage a .in or .co.in domain, you can’t use a temporary email address at any point. This means that any email address generated by the following temporary email providers isn't allowed, whether the address includes the name of the provider (example@guerillamail.com) or not: - Guerrilla Mail (https://www.guerrillamail.com) - 10 Minute Mail Website (https://10minutemail.com) - Temp Mail (https://temp-mail.org) - Mailinator (https://www.mailinator.com) - EmailOnDeck (https://www.emailondeck.com) - ProtonMail (https://proton.me/mail) - Tutanota (https://tutanota.com) - Mailfence (https://mailfence.com) - Hushmail (https://www.hushmail.com) - StartMail (<https://www.startmail.com>)
