How registration works

  1. Search

    Type a name. Without an extension we check .in, .co.in, .org.in and .com for you.

  2. Pay

    Choose 1 to 10 years. Add Free DNS at checkout if you want email on your domain.

  3. Registered

    We register the domain as soon as payment is received. For .in names we then ask you to complete eKYC.

  4. Use it

    Point it at your website with our nameservers or your own, and manage it from your client area.

What comes with your domain

Everything you need to point your domain at a website and start using email on it.

  • Free DNS with email

    Add our Free DNS plan at checkout for DNS management, email forwarding and two mailboxes, free while your domain is registered with us.

  • Domain lock

    Lock your domain against unauthorised transfers and unlock it only when you want to move it.

  • Privacy protection

    Free on every .in domain. For most other extensions it's a low yearly add-on you can tick at checkout.

  • Full control

    Change nameservers and DNS, get transfer codes and renew early from your client area or the Motherhost app.

  • Renewal reminders

    We email you before your domain expires, so it doesn't lapse by accident.

  • Clear prices

    First-year, renewal and transfer prices are shown upfront, with a GST invoice for Indian customers.

Need hosting too?

Get a .com or .in domain free for the first year with a 1- or 2-year hosting plan.
