.llc Domain Registration India

Quick answer: .llc is the top-level domain for the US limited liability company — launched on 16 February 2018 under Identity Digital after a contested application in which a US-LLC-only approach was rejected in favour of open registration. WebJi® lists it at ₹4,562 a year with renewal at ₹4,846 (read on 4 November 2026, before 18% GST).

.llc Domain Registration — What You Get

.llc is a generic top-level domain named for the LLC — the limited liability company, the most popular business form in the United States. The string drew a crowded 2012-round field: applicants included Google (Charleston Road Registry), Donuts, Afilias, Top Level Domain Holdings, Top Level Design, myLLC and Dot Registry.

Dot Registry's bid wanted to restrict registrations to US companies legitimately registered with state Secretaries of State — a community approach that failed its Community Priority Evaluation in June 2014 with just 5 of the 14 points needed. The open approach won instead: Identity Digital Limited holds the string today, implemented on 16 February 2018.

Terms run 1 to 10 years, the delegation is DNSSEC-signed, and the registry's IDN tables cover internationalised labels.

Who Can Register a .llc Domain Name

Anyone can register a .llc name: a US LLC, an Indian company with a US subsidiary, a registered-agent service or an individual, with no documents and no local presence anywhere in the world. The registry does not verify LLC status — the failed restrictive application is precisely why the zone is open.

  • No US address, state registration or EIN is checked — registration is open, first-come, first-served.
  • The ending states the corporate form you present, not one the registry polices.
  • Premium names — short or common words — carry registry premium pricing, quoted before you pay.
  • First completed order wins: a name is not held while you decide.

What a .llc Domain Is Used For

For Indian buyers the key point is the word: LLC is the US limited liability company — the form thousands of Indian founders use for their American subsidiaries, dropshipping stores and Amazon/Shopify businesses. A name like shreeexports.llc states the corporate form to US customers, banks and partners.

Registered-agent and company-formation services use .llc for their storefronts, and law and accounting firms serving US-bound clients use it for their LLC-formation landing pages.

One honest caution: because the registry verifies nothing, a .llc name does not prove the owner is an LLC — for trust, pair the name with real business details on the site.

.llc Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules

A .llc term runs 1 to 10 years and renews in the same blocks, at the renewal band rather than the first-year rate. Renewal reminders go to the registrant email, so keep that address reachable and turn auto-renew on — cheap first-year promos elsewhere on this ending hide renewals several times higher.

After expiry the name follows the standard gTLD sequence: roughly 45 days of auto-renew grace, then 30 days of redemption where the registrar charges a recovery fee, then a five-day pending-delete window before it returns to the open market. A dropped .llc is not held for the previous owner.

To transfer, unlock the name and take its EPP authorisation code from the current registrar, then approve the email sent to the registrant address. WebJi bills a .llc transfer at ₹4,562, a completed transfer adds a year to the term, and a name is locked for 60 days after registration or transfer under ICANN rules.

.llc vs .com and .in for an Indian Business

The extension is not a ranking factor: content and links decide placement. Choose .llc when the US corporate form is part of the identity — a US subsidiary or a formation-service storefront; keep .com for a global brand and .in or .co.in when Indian identity is the point.

The francophone counterpart .sarl exists on our list too: SARL for French-form companies, LLC for American ones — pick the form your clients recognise.

  • .llc — US LLC company form, ₹4,562 a year, renewal ₹4,846.
  • .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
  • .in — Indian identity, ₹1,000/year.
  • .co.in — Indian commercial second level, ₹809/year.

What does the .llc domain extension mean?

Do I need a real US LLC to register a .llc domain?

No. A bid to restrict the extension to state-registered US companies failed its ICANN community evaluation in 2014, so registration is open to anyone worldwide with no verification of LLC status.

When was the .llc extension launched?

Why does a .llc renewal cost about the same as the first year?

Unlike heavily discounted first years elsewhere, WebJi's .llc band is nearly flat: ₹4,562 registration against ₹4,846 renewal, both read on 4 November 2026 and before 18% GST. Beware much cheaper first-year promos abroad — their renewals often run four to six times higher.
