Thread: How Many Indian Domainers Are There?

I'm curious how many .in and .co.in domainers you think there are...

It's very hard to tell, but from doing a lot of whois lookups over the years, I get the impression there are about 500 or so people who are actively investing in .in and .co.in domains.

Good Question Jeff!
I have also asked the same question many times.

I think 500 is a good estimation.

I think the .com, .us, domainhack and crazy 3d, .co people will pick up .in's soon.

I am a domain investor from India , when i talk about domain investment most of my friends and family members thinking I am crazy and wasting my money and time in domain investment.....not many Indians like this , i am really surprised to see 500+ serious investors... that's a very good number indeed. lets hope my effort will pay back in the next 2 to 3 years...

cheers

It would be interesting to know.
If I am asked, I would also say that a figure of 500 will be on a higher side.
I would peg it at a lower figure...say 300.

It will be below 100

thats way too low,unless you're talking about full time people.

seriously .. do you think .IN will make a big impact in the next few years ? I mean it must be around under 5 years .. because since .IN/.co.in were born in 2005 .

i think .in will make a big impact in next 10 years for sure... are you ready to hold that long? being optimistic is always good but being realistic is too gud... As i am doing this for last 4 years i moved from optimistic to realistic....

I believe the .in usage will increase slowly for next 2 to 4 years probably the usage will go for exponential growth.

A different topic from above, Indian's generally dont consider risky investments in general , but if few domainers from India prove domain investment is good option to earn , rest of the people will move into the path...also the imitating will happen so quickly with in a year thousands of domain investors emerge. its the same mind set applicable for domain usage too.
