.in vs .com: Which Domain for Indian Businesses?

Your domain name is your digital identity — the first thing customers see and what they tell others about your business. Here's how to choose well.

The Right Extension

For Indian businesses targeting Indian customers: .in is the best choice — trusted, good for local SEO, and widely available. .com works for global brands. Newer TLDs like .store and .online are cheaper but carry less trust.

5 Rules for Great Domain Names

1. Under 12 characters — fewer typos, easier to remember
2. Phone-proof — if you have to spell it on a call, it's too complex
3. Real words — freshbakes.in beats frbks.in
4. Match your social handles — check Instagram/Twitter availability first
5. No trademark conflicts — don't register names similar to famous brands
