A domain is a signpost. Point it at something.
A .in on its own is ₹499. Standard hosting is ₹1,500. Together it's ₹1,500 — so hosting adds ₹1,001, not ₹1,500, and the domain line reads ₹0. Register just the name if that's all you need — it stays available and unpunished.
Hosting costs ₹1,001 more, not ₹1,500 — so the domain line reads ₹0. The renewal, ₹799 + ₹1,500, is printed on the invoice.
A registered domain does nothing on its own.
Buy only the name and you own a signpost pointing at an empty lot — which is fine, if that is what you meant to buy.
What you just searched — the address people type. On its own it is a signpost with nothing behind it.
Hosting is the ground the website actually stands on. Without it, the name resolves to nothing.
you@yourname.in only delivers once the domain points at a mail host. The bundle wires this the same day.
Don't add hosting if any of these is you.
The box is on by default because most people searching a name also need somewhere for the site to live. When you don't, the name alone is the right buy — and we'll say so.
The rate card, in the open.
Register, renew and transfer on one row — and the price with a yearly hosting plan, which is always ₹0.
Included with every domain — hosting or not.
Then don't buy the box. Register (or transfer) just the name, and we'll point it at your existing host and wire the DNS for you, free. The bundle exists for people who need somewhere for the site to live — if you already have that, you'd be paying twice.
Name, hosting and mailbox — one invoice, one afternoon.
Search the name, pick a plan, and our team wires the DNS and mailbox the same day. Nothing is charged until you review the cart.
