Ab sabse practical sawaal: domain kharidte waqt cart par kya padhna hai, taaki 'Rs 1 mein domain' dekh kar doosre saal ka bill dekhte hi jhatka na lage. Is checklist mein renewal price kaise padhein, tax kahan dikhta hai, .com ke wholesale price ka matlab kya hai, 60 din ka transfer lock kya hai, aur domain kiske naam par register karein, sab ek jagah hai. Ye guide 'Domain Se Hosting Tak' series ka hissa hai.
- Pehle saal ka price aur doosre saal ka renewal price alag line mein hote hain: dono padho.
- Price GST ke bina bhi dikh sakta hai: final total cart mein dekho.
- Registrant (jiske naam domain register hota hai) tum raho, developer ya agency nahi. Ye advice hai, guarantee nahi.
1. Pehla saal vs doosra saal: 'renews at' wali line
Registrars ke price pages par ek hi extension ke liye do alag cheezein hoti hain: pehle saal ka price (kai baar promo ke saath) aur 'Renews at', yaani uske baad ka price. Ek registrar ke India page ki table mein columns hain 'First year', 'Renews at' aur 'Transfer', aur kuch rows ke saath 'With 3-year term' likha hai. Us page ki tooltip kehti hai: 'First-year discount only with a 3-year term. Renews at the regular rate after the full term ends.' Yaani pehle saal ka kam price kabhi kabhi ek lambi term ke saath bandha hota hai, aur term ke baad regular rate lagta hai. Doosre registrar ka price page registration, renewal aur transfer ke alag columns dikhata hai, aur kuch rows par '1st Yr Sale!' likha hai. Isliye kisi bhi domain ka sirf pehla price dekh kar mat khareedo.
Banaya hua example: Rs 1 wala domain
Ye ek banaya hua example hai, kisi registrar ka asli price nahi. Maan lo ek registrar pehle saal ke liye Rs 1 dikhata hai aur renewal Rs 899 likhta hai. Teen saal ka kharcha aise banta hai (GST alag):
| Saal | Kya lagega (banaya hua example) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Pehla saal | Rs 1 | Promo price |
| Doosra saal | Rs 899 | 'Renews at' wali line |
| Teesra saal | Rs 899 | Renewal dobara |
| Teen saal ka total | Rs 1,799 + GST | Rs 1,799 / 3 saal = lagbhag Rs 600 har saal |
Dekha? 'Rs 1' headline hai, par teen saal ka asli hisaab alag hai. Is liye apna hisaab khud karo: pehle saal ka price + (renewal x baaki saal) + tax.
2. Registrar apna price khud tay karta hai
Dot in registry (IN Registry) ke Tariff page par likha hai: 'Below prices are wholesale prices to Registrars in INR per domain year (Registration, Transfer and (Auto-) Renewal). Registrars are free to set whatever retail prices they wish for new creates, renewals or RGP restore. Please see the site of each accredited registrar.' Matlab registry registrars ko wholesale rate batati hai, par tumhe dikhne wala retail price (naya domain, renewal, restore) har registrar khud tay karta hai. Isliye do registrars ka price aamne-saamne rakh kar dekho: first year, renews at, aur transfer, teeno.
3. GST aur tax: final total cart mein dekho
India ke ek registrar ke pages par neeche likha hai: 'Prices are listed without GST'. Yaani listed price ke upar tax alag se lag sakta hai, aur final amount cart mein dikhta hai. Hum yahan GST ka percentage nahi likh rahe: kitna tax lagega, ye tumhare cart ya invoice mein likha aata hai, wahin se padho. Do registrars ko compare karte waqt dono ko 'tax ke saath' ya dono ko 'tax ke bina' hi compare karo, warna tulna galat ho jaati hai.
4. .com ka wholesale price aur ICANN fee
Verisign ne apni quarterly results release mein .com ke annual registry-level wholesale fee ko badhane ka announcement kiya hai. 'Wholesale fee' wo hai jo registry registrars se leti hai, tumhara retail price nahi. Phir bhi registrars ke price ka ek hissa wahin se aata hai, isliye .com ke price par asar ho sakta hai, aur kitna asar hoga ye har registrar apne hisaab se tay karta hai. Hum yahan koi amount ya tareekh nahi likh rahe, kyunki ye badalta rehta hai: official release dekho.
ICANN fee bhi price ka ek hissa hai. Cloudflare Registrar apne page par likhta hai ki wo sirf wahi price leta hai jo registries aur ICANN usse charge karti hain. Porkbun ka price page likhta hai 'All prices include ICANN and any other fees'. Yaani kuch registrars ICANN fee ko price mein hi dikhate hain. Cart mein dekho ki fee price ke andar hai ya alag line mein judti hai.
5. At-cost registrar ka matlab (aur 'best' ka jhoot)
Cloudflare Registrar ke page par likha hai: 'Registration, transfer, and renewal prices are always at or below what registries and ICANN charge us.' aur FAQ mein: 'Cloudflare Registrar does not mark up domain prices at all.' Ye us registrar ka apna daawa hai, uske apne page se; hum isse recommend ya reject nahi kar rahe. Koi bhi registrar 'sabse best' nahi hota: tumhe kaun se extension chahiye, kitne saal chahiye, support aur tools kaise chahiye, ye sab tumhari zarurat par depend karta hai. Dono ko apne cart par compare karo.
6. Naya domain: pehle 60 din transfer ka lock
ICANN ki Transfer Policy ke hisaab se registrar ek transfer request ko sirf kuch khaas halaat mein mana kar sakta hai. Un halaat mein ye shaamil hai (section 3.7.5): 'The transfer was requested within 60 days of the creation date as shown in the registry Whois record for the domain name.' Yaani naya domain register hone ke 60 din ke andar transfer request ko registrar rok sakta hai. Section 3.7.6 mein likha hai ki transfer ke baad bhi 60 din ka ek similar rule hai. Isliye naya domain kharidne ke baad turant doosre registrar par shift karne ki planning mat karo.
Registrant badalne par bhi lock lagta hai. Policy (section II.C.2) kehti hai: 'The Registrar must impose a 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock following a Change of Registrant, provided, however, that the Registrar may allow the Registered Name Holder to opt out of the 60-day inter-registrar transfer lock prior to any Change of Registrant request.' Policy ke registrant-change wale hisse mein ye bhi likha hai ki registrar prior registrant ko salah deta hai: agar aakhri maksad domain ko doosre registrar par le jaana hai, to registrant badalne se pehle transfer request kar do, taaki ye 60 din ka lock na lage (jab tak registrar ne opt-out ka option na diya ho). Apne registrar ki help page par ye dekh lo.
7. Registrant: domain kiske naam par?
ICANN ke glossary ke hisaab se registrant wo individual ya entity hai jo domain name register karta hai; registration par registrant registrar ke saath ek contract mein aata hai, aur baad mein domain ki settings registrar ke through manage karta hai. Isliye ye advice hai (guarantee nahi): domain hamesha apne naam aur apne email par register karo, developer ya agency ke naam par nahi. Jab domain tumhara naam, tumhara email aur tumhara login ho, to renewal ke reminder aur transfer ke code tumhare paas aate hain. Agar developer ya agency ko domain ka kaam dena bhi ho, to unhe apne account mein 'access' do, par registrant tum hi raho.
WHOIS privacy aur auto-renew
Registrant ki contact details public record mein dikh sakti hain. Cloudflare Registrar apne page par 'Free WHOIS redaction keeps your personal contact details out of public records' likhta hai; baaki registrars mein ye free hai ya paid, ye cart mein dekho. Ek registrar apne page par likhta hai ki wo automatic renewal on rakhne ki salah deta hai, taaki website beech mein band na ho. Auto-renew on rakhne ka fayda hai ki domain expire nahi hota; nuksan ye hai ki renewal ka price tab lagega, isliye payment method aur reminder dono sahi rakho.
Cart kaise padhein (step by step)
- Domain ka naam aur extension (.com, .in, ...) dobara padho: spelling mein ek akshar galat hua to poora paisa gaya.
- Pehle saal ka price dekho, aur saath mein 'Renews at' ya renewal likhi line dhoondo. Dono ek paper par likh lo.
- Dekho ki pehle saal ka discount kitne saal ki term ke saath hai. Cart mein kitne saal ka payment ek saath ho raha hai?
- Tax ki line dhoondo: price GST ke bina listed hai ya saath? Final total kya hai?
- ICANN fee price mein judi hai ya alag line mein? Aur koi aur add-on (privacy, email, extra service) already tick to nahi?
- Registrant ka naam aur email apna hai ya nahi. Developer ya agency ke naam par mat banao.
- WHOIS privacy / redaction free hai ya paid. Auto-renew on hai ya off, aur renewal par kaun sa price lagega.
- Transfer ka niyam padho: naye domain par 60 din ka lock aur registrant badalne par bhi lock lag sakta hai.
- Payment ke baad confirmation email aur cart ka screenshot rakho, aur calendar mein renewal se pehle ka reminder lagao.
Domain buying checklist (khaali template)
Ye ek banaya hua template hai. Har registrar ke liye ek column bharo, aur do ya teen registrars aamne-saamne rakho.
| Sawaal | Registrar A | Registrar B |
|---|---|---|
| Extension (.com / .in / ...) aur naam ki spelling? | ||
| Pehle saal ka price? Kitni term ke liye? | ||
| 'Renews at' / renewal price? | ||
| Tax (GST) alag hai? Final total? | ||
| ICANN fee price mein hai ya alag? | ||
| Transfer ka price aur niyam (60 din)? | ||
| WHOIS privacy: free ya paid? | ||
| Auto-renew on / off? Reminder lagaya? | ||
| Registrant ka naam aur email mera hai? |
Aam galtiyan
- Sirf pehla price dekhna aur 'renews at' line na padhna.
- Promo ko kisi lambi term se bandha hua na samajhna.
- Do registrars ko ek tax ke saath aur ek tax ke bina compare karna.
- Naye domain ke baad turant transfer ka plan banana, aur 60 din ka lock bhool jana.
- Domain developer ya agency ke naam par register karwana.
- Auto-renew ya reminder na lagana, aur domain expire hone dena.
- Kisi ek registrar ko 'best' maan lena: apni zarurat ke hisaab se compare karo.
