    About .inc domain

    The .inc domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Intercap Registry Inc. It was delegated to the root zone in 2019 following a competitive application process under ICANN's New gTLD Program. The registry is based in the Cayman Islands. The extension is positioned as a dedicated namespace for corporate entities.

    Who can register .inc domain

    Registration for .inc domains is open to the general public without restrictions. There are no geographic, organizational, or trademark-based requirements to register a name. Any individual or entity can register a .inc domain through an accredited registrar, as it is not a community or restricted TLD.

    How to register .inc domain

    1. Search for your desired .inc domain name using a registrar's search tool to confirm its availability. Consider checking for premium names, which may have different pricing.
    2. Compare prices, renewal rates, and add-on services like WHOIS privacy or email hosting across different ICANN-accredited registrars before selecting one.
    3. Complete the checkout process, providing accurate registrant contact information and selecting your desired registration term, which is typically one to ten years.
    4. After purchase, verify your contact email to activate the domain and configure its DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point to your hosting provider.

    Typical uses of .inc domain

    The .inc extension is primarily used by corporations and businesses seeking a direct, professional web address that aligns with their legal structure.

The TLD effectively serves as a digital marker for incorporated entities.
