How domain pricing works: registry to registrar
A first-year .com or .in runs roughly ₹300-1,000 at Indian registrars; renewals are the real number. Stack the layers: registry wholesale at the base, registrar retail on top, ICANN fees, then 18% GST for Indian buyers.
| TLD | First year (typical) | Renewal (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹400-900 | ₹1,200-1,700 |
| .in | ₹199-500 | ₹700-1,000+ |
| .co.in | ₹250-600 | ₹700-1,100 |
| .org / .net | ₹500-1,000 | ₹1,000-1,500 |
| .io | ₹2,500-4,000+ | premium |
No honest registrar sells .com renewals at ₹400 forever — the renewal price is the business model. Compare renewals, not teasers, on the domain registration page before you buy.
Domain price table by TLD in INR
This page does not lock a single rupee figure in a plan table, so the honest answer is a quoted price. Email support@webji.services or open a ticket at https://billing.webji.in/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=10 with what you need, and the Jaipur desk replies with an INR amount before you pay. Invoices show 18% GST. There is no dollar price converted at checkout.
Why renewals cost more
On first-year offers vs renewal, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.

Money-saving tips
The playbook, in order. One: shop on renewal price — year-three cost, not the year-one teaser. Two: buy multi-year when the rate is fair; it averages down and pre-empts creep. Three: time festive offers for first-year pricing, never for the name choice itself. Four: prefer .in for India-focused projects — cheaper renewals, a local-trust asset.
Five: set renewal alerts with auto-renew on for names that matter — expired domains pass through a redemption window with the expiry grace period running 0-30 days before costly redemption fees apply. Six: consolidate at one registrar so no renewal slips. WebJi® customers manage domains beside hosting, which is the anti-expiry strategy; moving a name in later follows the standard transfer process.
