Interesting question. I don't think we in the US are 'better off' because of Mega-Marts. The wholesale destruction of small scale US retail came with a whole host of unintended, negative consequences that we're only now BEGINNING to understand. India was smart to take a cautious approach...

Thank you SO much!

I'm assuming it's an Indian script, but I have no idea... It's on a Sitar head.

That's all pretty good advice, more geared towards business owners than domainers. In 2002, I worked for a business that allowed their web designer to register their company name. They didn't have a website, so they went to a local designer and told him to 'make us a website'. Worst...

Neither. The buy was unreported and should it be resold, it will be likewise unreported. Again, cute theory- no evidence that anyone cares, or is about to start caring to any meaningful degree. As far as developed .in sites, a lot of the stuff in that thread is domainer minisite garbage, or...

Haha. No offense, but HUGE failure of logic there. Searching site:.in on google.de does not demonstrate that Germans like the .in domain in any way. The results are essentially the same as Google.com, google.co.uk, etc. Matter of fact, you will notice that the P1 results show no German...

I don't think .in is global and I have some solid ones. I've probably spent more on a single .in aftermarket purchase than 99% of the members here, if not EVERY member here. As far as outside.in, that's an anecdote. Anecdote is not evidence, no more than bit.ly 'proves anything. about the .ly...

Good news for US domain owners chasing after US based domain thieves, but still does not let one sleep easy. More often than not, stolen domains wind up under the control from someone not in the US and often times in a jurisdiction where the law is very 'backwater', to say the least. Also, it...

First off, .ca and .us are not like "any other country domains". The North American continent was the chief developer and earliest adopter of commercial internet, thus, .com plays an impermeable role in the minds of our consumers. Only now is .ca starting to really hit its stride... The...

No, they're not... Only Godaddy charges that ridiculous $20 renewal rate. I think I'm paying something like $7.39 at Moniker.

Re: Complete List of Indian Domain Name Sales Perhaps you should. If you think that .in has 'repurposing potential', then there's a large aspect of this that you 'don't get'. This is why you could not articulate a factual counter-point. Because the whole idea of 'repurposing' .in...

It is a patient mans game. There's another old saying; "Be deliberate in everything you do. Every decision you make should be done for a specific reason". "Buy and hold forever" is not a good strategy in and of itself, unless its accompanied by specific reasons why that's the optimal decision...

Re: Complete List of Indian Domain Name Sales There are a small handful of TLDs that have intuitive 'rebranding' potential. .tv is one for use with TV interests, .co is kinda-sorta one, but again... Step away from the total failure that is "Namepros Logic" and you'll soon realize that .co's...

Re: Complete List of Indian Domain Name Sales Are you serious? That is straight up Namepros logic right there... So, you sincerely believe that .ws "means website"? Or that .vc means "virtual community"? C'mon... :rolleyes: "Repurposing" a ccTLD never, ever takes in the minds of the public...

.co was rebranded as a "global TLD" and most of the interest in it came from the horde of low level domainer suckers, none of whom succeed at making money at this, most of whom are going to seriously pay the price once renewal comes due. .in can't really market itself in the same way as .co...

Got a decent offer via whois on a .in name I registered in January of 2011. ;) Kept reading the Times of India and seeing this word used over and over and over again in a very specific context, but shockingly enough, no one had grabbed the .in, so I did. Turned it down- I like it just a little...

It's possible. India certainly has a wealthy class, but whether they start spending big money on english language .in domains is yet to be seen. As far as when a huge sale might happen, there's absolutely no way to predict that. Domains aren't like commodity products where the market has fixed...

You have to define "mature". .in domain names are simply a proxy through which one can bet on the future of the Indian economy, Indian internet and the durability of English as the lingua franca for the most desirable Indian consumers. .com is a global brand that markets to the wealthiest...

It's quite tiring to continually read the ridiculous ignorance of SEO in the context of search engines favoring or disfavoring one TLD over another. They do not, period, end of story. Google uses hundreds of quality signals to determine serp and at no time has anyone ever identified a...

Very busy with other projects, this just doesn't fit into our current timeframe. Acquired a year or two ago from original registrant. iMumbai.com Registered 1999. Maintained at Moniker. Registered out to November, 2014. Receives occasional offers. Most recent unsolicited offer turned down...
