.com.np — free domain
.com.np is free. We don't sell it — here's where to get it.
Nepal's .com.np domain costs रू0 through the official registry. We're a paid domain reseller, not the registry, so we won't pretend to compete on a free product. This page explains how .com.np actually works and when it's the better choice over a paid .com.
How to get a free .com.np domain
- 1. Go to the official registry. register.com.np is run by Mercantile Communications Pvt. Ltd., the sole administrator of Nepal's .np ccTLD.
- 2. Check eligibility. Individuals need citizenship, passport, driving license, or a voter's card. Organizations need company registration documents (PAN/VAT or firm registration).
- 3. Submit and verify. Upload the required documents. Mercantile verifies the submission before activating the domain — this can take longer than instant paid registration.
- 4. Set nameservers. Once approved, point the domain to your hosting provider the same way you would with any paid domain.
When a paid .com makes more sense
- — You need the domain active today, not after document verification
- — You're not a Nepali citizen and don't have a registered company in Nepal
- — You want a globally recognized extension for an international audience
- — You want WHOIS privacy, which .com.np registrations may not offer the same way
If any of those apply, see our cheapest .com domain in Nepal page — रू1,499/year, active immediately.
Register a .com insteadWhy we're telling you about a competitor's free product
Mercantile Communications isn't really a competitor — they're the official registry, and .com.np can only be issued through them by design. Pretending we offer it, or hiding that a free option exists, wouldn't hold up. If .com.np fits your situation, take it. If you need something faster, international, or don't qualify, that's where we come in.
