.co.in /.in renew/ renew /renew

[wot]

It is probably quite tempting for many to "drop" their .co.in /.in names as they come up for their first renewal.

Think carefully before you do. All country extensions have taken a while to get off the ground (I was lucky with my .co.in sales from last year).

.us is picking up steam, .co.uk is showing strong sales and .de - what can you say - amazing.

Here is some data re India:

The economy is booming with technology at the forefront, great news for the prospects of the internet :imho:

One point you should take in to account, make sure the names you renew are relative to India probably tech / consumer related or top generic keywords. If they are not think about it.

If you do renew and you have a lot of names, try to stagger the next renewals by renewing at different times during the year - then you don't get a large dent in your cc all at the same time

On an equally positive note, I had four offers from Sedo on .co.in last week, two I rejected, one is still in negotiation $xx,xxx, one has gone to escrow for 2,000 euros.

Good Luck,

Wot

Renewed mine last week.

I may die with them cause it seems I can't sell a swamp cooler to a Phoenix resident on a 115 degree summer day but I ain't ready to see someone pay $$$ in a drop auction yet.

i prefer .in's over .co.in because its shorter in length :imho:

 

[tk]

.in is like .us, co.in is for commercial ( similar to .com) but since co.in is sub level , people prefer .in

 

[suthra]

.cn's and .in's are not like any other country extensions. If you hold a good domain, never sell it .

In fact, I was not even given a chance to selectively renew my .in/.co.in names that are all with DD24...they automatically renewed them and charged my cc. They charged 13.71 Euro or almost $17 for renewal; I just checked eNom is the same at $17. Is there any good registrar with lesser rates and can these names be transferred?

 

[staskul]

.in is better and brandable...
