Cheap- .in registration at Rs.120

IT.com
It's same central from Direct-I Registra, I think it's secure/safe enough. I didn't know their prices are much cheaper than other places, even Mitsu.in just during their promo.

I just signed up for an account at enames.

They do NOT accept payment via paypal or credit card.

If you are not in India, it looks next to impossible to fund your account. I'm not sure how well things work if you are in India, but even then, funding your account doesn't look instantaneous.

I'd recommend sticking with a registrar that has a payment gateway of some sort. It's hard for me to comprehend running an online business without this.
 
Here's another funny thing about enames - they didn't register their own domain. Instead they have registered their domain through a different registrar!

You are right Jeff I just check whois record of the domains enames.in and found that this was booked at Business Solutions a fellow company of Mitsu.in. When a registrar donot have his own domians in his account then how can we belive them to protect our domains ? with zone file I compare the reult and found that top five .in registrar ( including Mitsu) have more then 98% of registraton and all remaining odd 38 have the balance 2%, enames in particular have less than 50 domains and in last 6 months they registered only 10 domains ? Today I called them several times but they are not taking any phone since morning and now in afternoon somebody took the phone and said that owner is not yet came and we donot know anything about registration of .IN domains, person gave me owner's cell no.? then I called owner on cell phone he said that they will give credit manually in 24 hours and they will not give any credit directly in control panel as they will first check each and every domains before registrations only after they allow us to do registration ? they strictly say that they will not register any porno/company tm and other domains ?It seems they are running registry ?Now how we can trust them ? Cheaper is not better ? Confirm their details before registering with them ?
 
Well, this is an important point that you have pointed out..the credibility of the provider is very very important..especially when it comes to online business..
 
All,

Thanks for your inputs. Here has been my experience since I started this thread.

eNames.in
I registered with eNames and tried reigstering about 20-odd domains in 1-go and there was cache error blah blah. I called the listed support number and the same story - owner name xyz and his cell no. is xyz, call him.
I emailed them and till date no reply. No online payment mechanism!

Mitsu.in
Heard about from you guys and I registered with them and tried reigstering about 20-odd domains in 1-go and there was cache error blah blah. Next I tried with 1 domain...but still had errors so emailed..till date no reply! Multiple funding options not sure how things work... needs manual intervention though using Google checkout. I am using this for the first time but can't get my head around it.

eNames and Mitsu seem to be resellers for the same registrar as their interface resembles each other. As you guys mentioned that Mitsu has 98% of .in registrations, I am waiting for their support to get back to me.

indiainternet.in
Like I mentioned before, they are not cheap - .in at Rs.749, but their support so far has been very good. One of the owners/ founders even called me because I purchased some 100+ domains from them. So, they are small yet prompt support and response to emails.

Please keep this thread going as it is insightful.

Jeff, can we have a section on registration, discounts etc?

Where can one find resources on registration process and how secure it is to use one registrar over another? What are the pros and cons? Is it enough just to find one's name on the whois database, or are there factors to be considered whom we register through?

Thanks a ton!
 
Dear MSDomains,

Will you please explain that on which email id you sent us email ? as till 10 AM IST (means upto two minutes before) all our support request is replied and we donot find any of your request in our email , secondly we donot got any of your call and all our customers are registering in bulk every few minutes and they are not facing any problem ?

The site you recommend indiainternet is Accredited registrar ? or reseller and if reseller then can you explained which .In registrar they are using since you are customer of them so you can explain ?

We request all our forum members who have any problems with us please contact us with your username details ? or any other details on this forum so we can come to know the authenticity of claims ?

Hi Mitsu,

I am glad that you are on this forum and replied to my post.

I have nothing against your company... it's not an attack on your service, just that I sent your company an email at the billing@mitsu.in (as the question had to do with billing) and have not received a reply. I will IM you my details.

My experience with Godaddy or Indiainternet was that the process was smooth and instantaneous (I was being pampered!), so I was a little surprised and disappointed when I used enames and mitsu, and encountered errors and not quick support.

See the error page I was shown when registering 20+ url's at a time- http://mitsu.in/error_cache.html

It will be great to have your support. I will PM my email-id for further follow-up.

Cheers.
 
I think ,one should not be hasty in going for a cheap registrar.For instance Mitsu,offers managed DNS for Rs40(less then a dollar).Its free at Godaddy.Havent even looked at enames.However renewal at Mitsu is about Rs600(about 12 dollars).It is about 15 dollars at Godaddy.(Even more at others like Moniker etc).From the reliablility point of vew.Mitsu has done about 5000 registrations ( their claim) in promo period (50 registration in ename?!).Thats decent volume..
Cannot check physically.
Mitsu has international offices (based in jersey?) can anyone confirm..with .us registration facility in the offering?
So till now I am a Mitsu fan..(Will think Godaddy if no promos).
How is directi btw.?

this is wrong!
both use logicboxes software which is a creation of the very popular Directi/PDR but this does not necessarily mean that they are reseller of directi for all domains, as you can see that even other icann accredited registrars like netearthone.com and previous estdomains(now owned by directi) had been using logicboxes since many years though they were both icann accredited themselves. directi can help its resellers get icann accreditation for some big $.but using logicboxes doesnt necessarily mean that both companies are resellers. though there is some great chance/possiblity that mitsu and e-name maybe reselling .com from directi and serving .in by itself.

mitsu says that it is .in accredited(NOT ICANN ACCREDITED!) so it can serve its own .in names at whatever prices they get in bulk when they need, and enames is also not icann accreditated, and is also .in accredited just like mitsu see inregistry's accredited registrar list: Accredited Registrars

so both are reliable when you register .in domains. any more confusion?
 
Want to convey the message to you guys - got good service from Mitsu. Appreciate the multiple payment methods they have provided on their site and their response has been prompt. Way to go!

Yes..you're right..I too know this since even I am a Reseller with DirectI (ResellerClub)..I have been using them for quite some time now and they seem to be the best option out there..support is there all the time and pricing is reasonable (if not the cheapest)..I have also been hearing good things about mitsu, so I am sure that even they must be good..

but, just to put things right, if you wish to see who has the maximum number of .IN domains, refer Accredited Registrars

So, whoever said that Mitsu owns 98% of .IN domains, needs to check his source..I am sure that even the top registrar does not own 98% of the total .IN domains..

Please rectify here, Top five .In Registrars have more then 92% of .In Registrations, which includes Mitsu.....
