How to get my own domain for an online store in India

Where to buy, what to pay, which extension, and how connecting works.

Short answer: Buy the domain from any registrar such as GoDaddy, Hostinger, BigRock or Namecheap, usually under ₹1,000 a year for a .in and a little more for a .com, then point it at your store. On D2 Commerce OS your store runs free at yourshop.shop.d2c.in, and connecting your own domain with free HTTPS is the Starter plan at ₹249 a month plus GST. Start selling on the free address and add the domain when you are ready.

Which domain to buy

Pick .in if you sell only in India and .com if you may sell abroad or want the familiar ending. Keep it short, spell it as it sounds, and check the Instagram handle is free with the same name. Avoid hyphens and numbers. Register for two or more years so it never lapses before a sale season.

Connecting it to the store

In your registrar's DNS settings you add a record that points the domain at your store, then verify in the store settings. The store issues an HTTPS certificate automatically. Both the www and bare versions should open the store. The change takes minutes to a few hours to spread.

Keep the free address until you have orders

The free address works for Instagram, WhatsApp and ads from day one. Buy the domain once the first orders are in and you know the name is right. When you connect it, your old links keep working.
