.in and .co.in + Google.co.in ?

SaN-DeeP · 03-30-2005, 04:02 AM

Hello Domain Experts,
What do you think shall be the future of .in and .co.in domains in conjunction with Google.co.in (Google Indian Search Engine)

As of now, I have researched a bit, but did not found any advances made by google related to .co.uk domains with google.co.uk.

What are your thoughts ?

And whats the best choice to start your domains with ?
.in or .co.in ?

Regards,

Google.co.in is no different than any other. Google owns Google.every-tld, they buy up the ccTLD's to help organize load-balancing and language.

Google.co.in is a forced redirection. They never advertise you to use .co.in. I guess, over 50% of the people who uses google.co.in, still types google.com in the address bar.

I am trying to ellaborate more on country specific tld related to country specific search. If a user from specific country (lets say India) opens google, the following url is loaded by default google.co.in

so, my question states will a .in and .co.in or any .in tld help make a better site compared to .com in future ??

Hi San,

If it is purely region specific sure, I know many people who only buy from a .co.uk if they live in england. A becuase it saves on custom charges / import tax and time scale. IF you buy from a .co.uk like in india if i was to buy a from a .co.in website i would receive it next day normally. Yet if i purchased from a .com which could be anywhere the chances are i would receive the charges etc mentioned so i wouldnt make that much of a saving.

Saying that though i try and register .com for value reasons. Even though the .in and .co.in due to popularity and the ever increasing IT/ Business growth in India i can forsee these maturing into an extremely good extension that is taken serious.

.IN is the best TLD without any doubt, IMHO. Wait, and you will see.
