Step No-1

Search your dream domain name from a Domain Service Provider with your appropriate domain extension.

(Note: Very few domain service providers are providing these domain extensions, and hostindia.net is best of them who providing .ac.in, .edu.in and .res.in Domain service. )

Then you have to place your order with the service provider.

Remember: In this case, if you place an order also the domain will be not locked for you once you complete the documentation and registration process then only the domain will be lock for you.

Step No-2

Once you place the order you will get a call from the domain service provider to submit the original scan copy of the required documentation.

Documentation list:

Document 1:

A written request in form of a letter, on the letterhead of the organization duly signed by the head of the organization. The letter should be addressed to:

ERNET India,

Electronics Niketan, 6 CGO Complex,

Lodi Road, New Delhi - 110003

The letter should clearly state that: Your institute would like to register a domain name with .ac.in or .edu.in or .res.in extension. It should also state that the register(Ex: Hostindia.net) authorized to complete all formalities for the same.

Document 2:

Documentary proof of the institute related to the domain name applied for new registration that the institute is involved in the academic/educational field, e.g. copy of Registration paper/Affiliation letter from any university or CBSE/letter from AICTE etc.

Step No-3

Once you submit the document to the service provider, then your service provider follow another registration process with ERNET India on behalf of you. After the document verification process done your domain will successfully register with ERNET India as well as with your service provider also.
