What a .net domain is and who can register it
Anyone can register a .net name. There is no licence and no country test. The ending was created in January 1985 for network operators such as internet providers, and that limit no longer applies.
- Generic top-level domain, often kept beside a .com when the shorter name is gone.
- CDmon's help page, read 30 October 2026, calls it the second most widespread generic extension.
- Label length 3 to 63 characters. Letters, digits and hyphens. No hyphen at either end.
- Accented letters are allowed and are a different name from the unaccented spelling.
- DNSSEC can be turned on. The records you publish still have to be right.
The first Google result for this query is a general Indian registrar homepage, not a .net rules page. The second result is ERNET, which registers education and research names such as ac.in and edu.in. It does not sell .net. The rules above are from the third result, CDmon's .net help page.
What a .net name costs at WebJi®
WebJi® has no published .net figure in its price list. The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. The invoice then adds 18% GST. Nothing is charged until you accept the figure.
A premium or very short name can cost more than an ordinary word. The quote separates that before you pay. Compare the renewal with the first year for the term you will keep.
Indicative .com and .in bands are printed below so you can see what a different ending costs to plan. They do not answer a .net price question.
| Extension | Indicative registration | Indicative renewal | What the band is |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com | ₹900–1,200 a year | ₹1,000–1,400 a year | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
| .in | ₹500–800 a year | ₹700–1,000 a year | A different extension. Not this page's price. |
Indicative bands only, source pricing_custom.json, read 30 October 2026, before 18% GST. They are not the registration or renewal for the extension on this page.
Domain India's homepage, the first result, advertises .in and .com from ₹475 and says its prices stay flat at renewal, with free WHOIS privacy on .in. That page does not state a .net price. Do not copy those rupee figures onto .net.
How to register a .net domain at WebJi®
Do not pay before the quote names this extension, the term, and the renewal. The checker only tells you the name is free.
- Open the domain availability checker and type the name with .net.
- Read the spelling back. A .net label is 3 to 63 characters. A hyphen cannot sit at either end. An accented spelling is a separate name.
- Email support@webji.services with the exact name and the term. The reply is the INR figure before 18% GST, with the renewal beside it.
- Pay by UPI, card or net banking only after you accept. The invoice is in INR and shows the GST.
- Use a registrant contact that can read mail. Verification goes to that mailbox.
- Point the nameservers, or ask support to do it. It has worked when WHOIS shows your registrant and the name resolves.
DNS, length and transfer rules for .net
You set A and AAAA for the host, CNAME for a hostname, MX for mail, and TXT for SPF, DKIM and site verification. DNSSEC can be enabled. Turning it on does not fix a wrong record.
A transfer needs the authorisation code. It is refused if the name has expired or if the status is clientTransferProhibited. After expiry the name stops, a 30-day grace allows an ordinary renewal, and a further 30-day redemption can cost more than that renewal. Renew from the quote WebJi® emails, and keep the date yourself.
The transfer path is domain transfer.
When a .net domain is the wrong choice
Choose .net when the .com is gone and the audience already understands a global ending, especially a network, host, or technical service. Do not choose it when Indian buyers need the country signal of a .in domain.
People still type .com from habit. If the brand depends on that reflex, hold the .com or the .in and use .net only as the extra name, not as the only name.
Why WebJi® for a .net name
The useful fact on a .net order is the renewal next to the first year, in INR, before GST. WebJi® has registered names for Indian businesses since 2005, formerly B4UIndia, and 12,000+ clients keep domains and hosting here. WebJi® is the registrar you order from. It is not the registry, and it is not ICANN.
- One office, in Jaipur. +91 141 4941811 is the office line, not a 24/7 support number.
- Email support@webji.services is 24/7, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
- The quote, the INR invoice with 18% GST, and the DNS change sit in one account.
- A move of an existing site or DNS zone is free only after approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does .net domain registration cost at WebJi®?
The exact registration and the exact renewal are confirmed at checkout, in INR, before you pay. 18% GST is added on the invoice. The .com band of ₹900–1,200 and the .in band of ₹500–800 are other extensions, indicative only, from pricing_custom.json on 30 October 2026. They are not the .net price.
Who can register a .net domain?
Anyone, a person or a company, with no licence and no local-presence rule. The ending was created in January 1985 for network operators. That limit is gone.
How many years can a .net registration run?
From 1 year to 10 years at registration. It can be renewed for up to 10 years in total on the term. A short term only means the renewal decision comes sooner.
Can I transfer a .net domain to WebJi®?
Yes, when you have the authorisation code, the name is not expired, and it is not in clientTransferProhibited status. Support confirms the transfer by email before it starts. The steps are on the domain transfer page.
Does a .net name include WHOIS privacy?
Confirm it in the quote. The public record shows the registrant unless a privacy service is on the order. The contact mailbox still has to receive verification mail.
Is the Jaipur phone line 24/7 support?
No. +91 141 4941811 is the Jaipur office number. Email support@webji.services is the 24/7 line, in Hindi and English, with an average first reply under 60 minutes.
