You need a Domain India account before you can register a domain, buy hosting or open a ticket from the client area. Creating one takes about a minute: a short form, or one click with Google. This guide walks through both ways, the email confirmation step, and the few settings worth completing straight after.
Go to domainindia.com/register, enter your name, phone number, email address and a password, and click Create account, or click Continue with Google. If you are asked to confirm your email, type the 6-digit code we send you. You can also create an account during checkout. Afterwards, add your address and GSTIN (if you have one) in your profile and turn on two-factor authentication.
1. Three ways to create an account
| Way | Where | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-up form | /register | You want an account first and will order later |
| Continue with Google | The same page, below the form | You would rather not create another password |
| During checkout | "Sign in or create your account" when you order from the website | You are already buying a domain or a plan |
All three give you the same client area. The only difference is how you sign in afterwards: with your email and password, or with Google.
2. Create an account with the sign-up form
- Open the sign-up page.Go to /register. From the sign-in page, click Create an account under "New to Domain India?".
- Enter your full name.Use your own name or the name of the person who owns the account.
- Enter your phone numberwith the country code, for example +91 98765 43210.
- Enter your email address.Use an address you check often and that is not on a domain you are about to move or cancel. Invoices, renewal reminders, security notices and ticket replies all go here.
- Choose a password.It needs at least 8 characters, with an upper-case letter, a lower-case letter, a number and one symbol (any of ! @ # $ % & * ? - _).
- Click Create account.
Let a password manager generate and store a long, unique password for your Domain India account. Never reuse the password of your email account or any other website. See the best password managers for personal and business use.
3. Confirm your email address
After you click Create account, you may see a Confirm your email screen that says a 6-digit code was sent to your address.
- Type the code from the email and click Confirm email.
- No email? Check your Spam and Promotions folders, then click Resend code. The button becomes available again after a short wait.
- Typed the wrong address? Click Wrong address?, enter the correct one and click Save and resend. The new address becomes your account email.
- Not now? Click Skip for now. Your account still works, and the client area reminds you to confirm your email until you do.
Confirm it as soon as you can. An address we know works means you actually receive invoices, security notices and replies to your tickets.
4. Sign up with Google
On the sign-up or sign-in page, click Continue with Google and choose your Google account. Your Domain India account is created with the email address of that Google account, and you sign in the same way next time.
Two things to know:
- You have no Domain India password yet. Some actions, such as turning on two-factor authentication, ask for your current password. If you need one, use Forgot password? on the sign-in page to set it.
- You can turn Google sign-in off later from your profile, if you would rather sign in only with a password and a code.
5. Create an account while you order
You do not have to sign up first. When you order a domain or a hosting plan from the website, checkout asks you to Sign in or create your account:
- choose New Customer and enter your first name, last name, phone number, email address and a password; or
- choose Already Have Account and sign in; or
- use Google.
Your account is created at that point and the order continues. For the order steps themselves, see the checkout guide.
6. What to set up after you sign up
A few minutes here saves problems later.
If other people need access, such as a web designer or an accountant, add them under Account › Team members rather than sharing your password. Each person gets their own login, and you can remove them at any time.
For .in domains, the registry may require identity verification (eKYC). You do this once for your account on the Identity verification page at /client/kyc, through DigiLocker; see complete eKYC verification.
For a tour of every menu, see managing your account in the Domain India client area.
7. Signing in next time
Sign in at /client/login with your email address and password, or with Google if you signed up that way.
- Forgotten password: click Forgot password?, enter your account email and follow the link we send you.
- Too many wrong attempts: after 10 failed sign-ins within 15 minutes, sign-in for that email address is locked for up to 15 minutes. A password reset does not lift it; wait, then sign in with the right password.
- Two-factor on: after your password you are asked for the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
Your client-area login is separate from your control panel login (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo or Plesk), which you open from the hosting service's page.
8. Troubleshooting
- "Registration failed" or an error about your email: the address may already have an account. Try signing in, or use Forgot password? to reset it.
- The password is rejected: check it has at least 8 characters with an upper-case letter, a lower-case letter, a number and a symbol from the list.
- The phone number is rejected: type digits only, with an optional + and country code.
- The code never arrives: check Spam, correct the address with Wrong address?, or skip for now and contact support by live chat.
- Anything else: live chat is available 24/7, and support tickets get a first response within 15 minutes. You can open a ticket without an account at /support/ticket.
Domain India support will never ask for your password, a 2FA code or your card details. Do not send them in a chat, ticket or email.
