.IN Registrar ::  
     
 
General Registration Policies
     
 
Term:   Domain names may be registered for a minimum of one (1) year, and a maximum up to five (5) years.
 
 
Auto renewal: Domains automatically renew at the end of their term (the expiration date). Please contact us for your details.
 
 
Domain length: .IN domain names may be between 3 and 63 characters in length.
 
 
Allowable characters: Only letters, digits and hyphens will be accepted in a domain name. Names cannot begin or end with   hyphens.
 
 
Contact information: Registrants must provide true, accurate contact information. The following contact types are required:   Registrant, Administrative, Technical and Billing. As per standing policy, the contact data will display in the .IN WHOIS, except for the   Billing contact data, which is not displayed.
 
 
Transfers: For names in the unrestricted zones mentioned above, registrants are allowed to transfer their domains to the registrar   of   their choice. Registrants should contact their registrar of choice to learn about transfer procedures. Registrar-to-registrar transfers   are   not allowed in the 60 days following the creation of a domain name. A registrar-to-registrar transfer adds one year to the term of   the   domain name, charged to the gaining registrar. Registrars may therefore charge the registrant for the domain year.
 
 
Grace periods: Certain grace periods exist to allow for the cancellation of transactions by registrars within certain time periods.   Please contact your registrar for details.
 
 
Name servers: To register a .IN domain, the registrant does not need to provide name servers. In order to appear in the zone file   and   resolve on the Internet, at least one (1) valid name server must be associated with the domain name. The use of at least two valid   name   servers is highly recommended.
