Thread: What are LLL.in and NNN.in?

Hi all,

Could some please explain what the LLL & NNN refers to before the .in & .co.in domains as it is referred to a great deal, just not sure what it is.

Thanks very much.

Ed

L = Letter
N = Number
C = Character (Number or Letter, or Hyphen!)
- = Hyphen

Got it!! Thanks very much.

Made into a sticky FAQ

Thanks for the great question and answer

Here's a break down of the math to figure out how many LLL / NNN / L-L / N-N combos there are.


LLL Combos NNN Combos
Char1 26 10
Char2 26 10
Char3 26 10
Total 17576 1000


L-L Combos N-N Combos
Char1 26 10
(-) - -
Char2 26 10
Total 676 100

Hmm... nice calculations FishSEO. But out of these 17k plus domains only a few are worth a purchase and not all.

I’m thinking of entering the domain business but I’m confused about the LLL and LLLL domain names. Although, DNScott already said that L stands for letter, it would be nice if someone here could give an example and further elaborate.

An lll.in would be a domain like abc.in - ie any domain that is only 3 letters long.

hi,
3 letter domain are useful.
