Guide to Managing .in and .co.in Domains on Squarespace
Understand .in and .co.in domain registration, transfer, and exceptions on Squarespace.
TL;DR: Key Points
- Learn how to register, transfer, or connect .in and .co.in domains on Squarespace
- Note: .in and .co.in domains come with no cancellation grace period and no refund
- Understand different renewal procedures based on registrars like Tucows and Key-Systems
- Take advantage of Squarespace's free domain offer for these domain categories
- Be aware of registration limitations and the absence of Whois privacy for these domains
Understanding .in and .co.in Domains
.in and .co.in domains work well for businesses or individuals looking to establish an online presence in India. These country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) have specific regulations that differ from typical domain rules on Squarespace. Here's what you need to know about managing these domains effectively.
Registration and Transfer
To register or transfer your .in or .co.in domain to Squarespace, start by checking the domain availability through Squarespace's domain name search page or in your domains dashboard. For domain transfers, remember:
- You'll purchase an additional one-year extension with your transfer
- The time you had left on your old registration gets added plus an extra year
Pixelhaze Tip: Always double-check for typos before finalising your registration. There's no option to cancel once the domain purchase is complete.
Renewing Expired Domains
The process for renewing expired domains varies depending on your registrar:
For Tucows Registrants:
- Use the Renew button in your dashboard within 40 days post-expiration
- After 40 days, a 30-day redemption period follows, where you can renew at an additional fee
For Key-Systems Registrants:
- Renew within about 30 days of expiration using the Renew button in your dashboard
- Contact support if the domain disappears from the dashboard to check for reactivation options
Free Domain Offers and Multi-Domain Registration
Squarespace provides a free domain offer for .in or .co.in domains, which can save you money. However, there are restrictions on the number of domains you can register:
- Individuals can register more than two domains only after getting written authorisation
- Businesses can register over 100 domains following the same approval process
Approvals generally take up to 24 hours. Without it, the registry might delete the additional domains at their discretion.
Limitations on Privacy
Unlike many domains offered on Squarespace, Whois privacy isn't available for .in and .co.in domains. This means your registration details will be publicly available, which could impact your privacy considerations.
