Good job, Steve. I think even people other than beginners, don't always know all the extensions available. Good reference.

Hi all,

Thanks for this great forum.

I am new to the Indian domain market and would like to know the main difference between the .co.in & .in and the pro's and cons to registering one vs the other.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hi Ed

Welcome to INForum

Very briefly:

.in has worldwide usage potential and sells a little better

.co.in is more popular inside of India and thus isn't selling as well. That may change as the Indian online economy develops.

Thanks Steve,

That was fast!!

I was thinking along those lines, so thanks for your input.

Ed

Whichever one extension sells is the good one!!!

Steve you missed out on .ernet.in , I am not sure if it is publicly available.

Good catch Maverick!

.ernet.in is not publicly available.
