Registering A .in Domain Name

Domain Name Registration

Domain registration is a simple process, you choose a domain name i.e. name of the site like yahoo or google and then choose its extension to register. One of the most common and popular extension is .com which is meant for online commercial activities.


Each domain is registered for at least one or more years (usually upto 10 years for most common domain names). A domain name is just an address on web which points to a location (web hosting server) and therefore whenever we register a domain we need a web hosting service which can either Linux based or Windows based.

What do you get when you register a domain name?

People often think that when they pay for domain name registration, they get a complete package to host a website. 


When we register a domain name we only receive an email which is linked to that domains name. It is like buying a mobile SIM which doesn't have only have a unique number associated with it and a validity period for which it will remain active if it that period is not extended to use the SIM we need a handset and talktime too.
