Yes. Privacy protection is included free with every .in domain, so your personal contact details aren't shown in public WHOIS lookups.

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get its authorisation (EPP) code, then start a transfer on our domain transfer page. The transfer price includes a one-year renewal, so one year is added to your current expiry date.

Your website and email stop working on the expiry date. For a short grace period after that you can still renew at the normal renewal price. After the grace period a restore fee applies, and if the domain isn't restored it is deleted and anyone can register it. We email you renewal reminders before your domain expires.

Disputes over .in domain names, for example a name that copies a trademark, are decided under NIXI's .IN Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (INDRP).
