I believe , it wont end.... As the promotion will continue to attract new end users to use .com .. It would be nice if registry considers renewal promo too
Agree. This is all I care about. My India portfolio will never crest above 100 names until renewal prices offer me a reasonable risk adjusted multiple for what I might expect to earn off a developed site.
Thanks Mitsu, We dont criticize the reg fee, ok to encourage the end users to switch from .com to .in , it would nice to keep the promo , however the renewal cost is quite higher this discourages end users in india. I know at mitsu its 549 fo renewals , few of the registars charging up to 900 Rs too. So this is not a good sign if registry want to encourage use of .in.
As to renewals promotion, we, in fact, got it: if you registered some .in domain under promo one year ago, say, for $3 and now renew it for $11, you get registration/renewal cost for .in domain as low as $7. Just let reg promo be permanent
