Domain registration in Nepal, priced at cost
Register a .com, .org, .net or any of 300+ extensions in Nepalese rupees, paying with eSewa, Khalti or bank transfer. WHOIS privacy is free on every domain, activation is instant, and both the registration and the renewal price are published before you buy.
What a domain costs in Nepal
New registration, transfer and renewal for one year, in NPR. The renewal column matters more than the first column — a promotional first year is only cheap once.

Compare against other Nepali registrars →How to register a domain in Nepal
Four steps, start to live site. No dollar card required at any point.
Pick the extension that fits
.com is the default for anything commercial — easiest to remember, and the one people type by habit. .org reads as non-profit or community, .net as technical or infrastructure. If your audience is entirely inside Nepal and you qualify, the free .com.np is worth considering, but it is issued by Mercantile Communications rather than by us and needs document verification.
Check the name is actually free
Search the name before you commit to it. Our checker queries the registry directly over RDAP, the protocol that replaced WHOIS, so an available result reflects the registry's state at that moment rather than a cached guess. Popular names go fast, so treat availability as a green light to act rather than a reservation.
Pay in rupees, with a Nepali method
Checkout runs through our billing panel and accepts eSewa, Khalti, bank transfer, and major international cards. Prices are charged in NPR, so there is no dollar card requirement and no exchange-rate surprise between the price you see and the amount you pay.
Point the nameservers and go live
The domain activates as soon as payment clears — no manual approval queue. From the client panel you set nameservers to whichever host you are using. We do not bundle DNS hosting, which means you are free to point at Cloudflare's free tier, your own hosting, or anywhere else, without paying us for the privilege.

Paid domain or the free .com.np?
Both are legitimate choices and they suit different situations. We sell one of them, so here is the honest comparison.
| Paid (.com / .org / .net) | Free .com.np | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | From रू199/year; .com रू1,499 | Free, no renewal fee |
| Who can register | Anyone, no documents | Nepali citizens & Nepal-registered organisations |
| Time to activate | Instant once payment clears | Manual review, several business days |
| Issued by | Us, via our registrar backend | Mercantile Communications (register.com.np) |
| Best for | Anything global, or needed today | Nepal-only audiences, zero budget |
We do not sell .com.np and cannot — it is issued directly by the registry. Here is how that process works, including the cover letter and document checklist, with a free generator for both.
