.in VS .co.in

[╬Switch╬]

Whats the difference between .in and .co.in domains?
Most websites offer .in registration .
So are these same?? Cause cafegadgtes.in and cafegadgets.co.in both seem to be same.
Thanks.

[Pathik]

I prefer .com to both.
In the above case, cafegadgets must have bought both domains and redirected them to the same page.

co.in stands for communication in India..
in stands for Indian site.

^^So what does google.co.in stand for ? Google communication???

[Sumeet_naik]

As per net standards set they wer supposed to be so.. Now u can get any domain name for any kinda site..

[MetalheadGautham]

but .in is double the cost of .co.in

[Sumeet_naik]

Ya.. Coz typing .in is simpler..

Could you pleaes suggest any good website to register a .co.in domain??
Thanks.

[QwertyManiac]

.co.in is not "communication" but "commercial", as in .com but for elements local to India.

I'd just see it as .co.in Sub-domain for commercial/profit purposes and .in TLD for personal websites and identities online.

[Sumeet_naik]

Oops sorry got confused.. Its commercial ..

There are few users in this forum running web business companies, who would offer registration,

Ashish - mailnspace.com
Ashok - eWebGuru.com
Ravi - whost.in

All are trusted, you may opt for any

[slugger]

.co.in is actually a subdomain of .in but is made to behave like a TLD

Just because a site is accessible with .co.in does not mean it will automatically be accessible by .in

you will have to purchase these 2 different domain names and redirect all queries to either one of them

.in = entitiy of Indian interest
.co.in = commercial entity of Indian interest

however now with all domain names being taken up, this distnction is no longer followed - you get what you can and keep it

Cyrus_the_virus also has hosting+domain name service - outpowerhosting.com

you can also check out his thread her on the forum
250MB Space + 2.5GB Transfer for Rs12/month!!!

i think @presh.it too is into domain name+hosting service

Can you please tell me the correct username of Ashish? or maybe his email address.
Thanks

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

Yeah you can go with eWebguru or Cyrus_the_virus.
I have experience with both of them.

Just say it. They will activate on credit, you do bank transfer next morning.
