Artistic layout of your website can be protected under Copyright Act,. But you cannot get any protection over the concept or business ideas of your website, because as per Indian Laws no business idea can be protected per se.

Copyright (Artistic) application cost is around Rs. 5000 (incl of Govt Fees)

You will have to register the domain name with a registrar. As a first step you will have to see whether the domain name you have chosen is available or not i.e. confirm it has not already been registered by somebody else. In India, there are several companies with whom you can register your domain name and the fees and process depends from company to company.

Your website design and creative website content, such as written material, photographs, graphics, music and videos, may be protected by copyright. Though it is not compulsory in India to register a copyright, it is advisable to do so.
