Thread: Does anyone have any evidence of......

.....companies in India or operating in India moving away from .com domains and switching to .in domains??


As far as I am aware, most of the major online companies still primarily use .com names and therefore until major companies are encouraged to start using .in domain names, then the .in extension will never really have as much potential as .co.uk or .de for example.

Therefore can anyone give examples of major companies or institutions within or related to India using the .in domain extension for their main domain name within in India.

Unless large corporation start using the .in extensions, medium and small companies and individuals alike within India will always flow towards .coms and only use .ins as back ups.

This is a matter of time. Dot in is a young ccTLD compared to .de or .co.uk. It will eventually prevail .com (already did it in terms of the number of domain registrations in India). Dot com is the best choice for international business but even these usually secure local extensions. You shouldn't worry about the .in future

Some examples?

Here's a few:

ebay.in
sony.co.in
google.co.in
vodafone.in
paypal.co.in
nikon.co.in
deutschebank.co.in
nissan.in
audi.in
renault.co.in
amway.in

airtel.in

Nokia was using nokia.co.in before.
But don't know why they changed it now to
nokia.com/in-en

HCL.in

dell.co.in

http://www.mobil1.in/ - Exxon Mobil

and mobil.in for Exxon Mobil

chevrolet.co.in - Chevy Cars
www.kfc.co.in - KFC

There is an Directive from Govt. of India. to all All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) Accredited Degree Colleges/Universities to make there website with .IN domain extension.

No doubt .COM is the king in almost all countries, but you can't afford to ignore the Presence, Strength of .IN domains

India has 1 Billion + population, do you think any decent .COM still left for them to use? Even almost all Indian names are registered already by Domainers....! and the same is happening with .IN

Anbody who invest in .IN Domains as of today, will be laughing all the way to the bank after 2-3 yrs.

Good Things Take Time...!
