    Yeah, good news and also did you see that .in has over 4.50,000 registrations which in fact is quite a quantity for a country level TLD. Great going for .in and for the .in domaineers

    This sounds great. Extra security is always a good thing on the internet. Considering the amount of computer hackers that reside n our world. The internet never is really 100% safe.
