Domain Registration FAQs for Nepali Startups

Every Domain Question Answered

Starting a business in Nepal and confused about domains? This FAQ guide answers every common question about domain registration, pricing, management, and more.

> Quick Answer: Nepali startups should register a .com domain (NPR 1,764/year) as their primary domain, with optional .com.np (NPR 2,500/year) for local identity. Register through Hosting Nepal for NPR pricing, eSewa/Khalti payment, and 24/7 Nepali-speaking support.

General Questions

What is a domain name?

A domain name is your website's address on the internet (e.g., yourstartup.com). It's how customers find and access your website.

Why does my startup need a domain?

Professional online presence
Business email ([email protected])
Digital marketing foundation
Brand credibility and trust
SEO and discoverability

When should I register my domain?

As soon as you finalize your business name. Domains are first-come, first-served — someone else could register your desired name at any time.

Pricing Questions

How much does a domain cost in Nepal?

| TLD | Annual Cost | |-----|-----------| | .xyz | NPR 320 | | .in | NPR 1,269 | | .org | NPR 1,400 | | .com | NPR 1,764 | | .com.np | NPR 2,500 |

Are there any hidden fees?

At Hosting Nepal: no. WHOIS privacy, DNS management, and domain forwarding are included free. No setup fees.

Can I pay in Nepali Rupees?

Yes, at Hosting Nepal. Pay via eSewa, Khalti, bank transfer, or ConnectIPS.

Technical Questions

What is DNS and why does it matter?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates your domain name into the server IP address where your website is hosted. Proper DNS configuration ensures your website and email work correctly.

What are nameservers?

Nameservers are the servers that hold your DNS records. When you host with Hosting Nepal, use:

ns1.hostingnepals.com
ns2.hostingnepals.com

What is WHOIS privacy?

WHOIS is a public database showing domain owner information. WHOIS privacy hides your personal details (name, address, phone, email) from public view. It's free at Hosting Nepal.

What is an SSL certificate?

SSL encrypts data between your website and visitors. It shows the padlock icon and "https://" in the browser. Essential for trust and SEO.

Choosing Questions

.com or .com.np — which should I choose?

.com: Best for most startups — globally recognized, no documentation needed
.com.np: Good secondary domain for local identity — requires business registration documents
Both: Ideal strategy — use .com as primary and redirect .com.np to it

What TLD is best for a tech startup?

.com — universally trusted
.io — popular among tech startups
.dev — for developer tools
.app — for mobile applications

Should my domain match my business name exactly?

Ideally yes, but close variations work too. Consistency between business name and domain builds brand recognition.

Management Questions

How do I renew my domain?

Enable auto-renewal in your Hosting Nepal dashboard. You'll receive renewal reminders 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry.

What happens if my domain expires?

1. Grace period (30 days): Renew at normal price 2. Redemption period (30 days): Renew at higher fee 3. Deletion: Domain becomes available for anyone to register

Can I sell my domain later?

Yes. Domains can be sold through marketplaces or private transactions. Valuable domains (short, keyword-rich .com) can appreciate significantly.

Can I transfer my domain to another registrar?

Yes, after 60 days from registration. You'll need the EPP/auth code from your current registrar.

Startup-Specific Questions

I'm bootstrapping — what's the minimum investment?

.xyz domain: NPR 320/year
Shared hosting: ~NPR 300/month
Total to get online: under NPR 4,000/year

Should I register domains for future products?

If you have specific product names planned, registering domains early (especially .com) is smart and inexpensive insurance against someone else taking them.

How many domains does my startup need?

At minimum: one (.com). Ideally: primary .com + .com.np + one or two variations to protect your brand.

Conclusion

Don't let domain questions slow down your startup launch. The process is simple, affordable, and takes under 10 minutes. Register your domain at Hosting Nepal today and focus on what matters — building your business.
