if .cn is still weak 1 year after it launched, why should anyone have faith in .in

 

[chungju4]

It isn't? :huh:

- Rob

not as a general spoken term. im from the uk and i have never heard anyone say the word 'porn' . sex is used instead. although its not visible anymore porn.co.uk had disgracefully low overture in uk ov. british are still rather conservative , and anything other than sex is not really in their vocabulary. as an another example .. how many type ins do you think hardcore.co.uk gets ? not a lot. 141 overture WOW !!

whereas , 'dogging' , is not a term well known in the usa, it is a british thing. (outside swinging in carparks etc)

.COM has established its roots so deep that .in can not compete with it.

.COM's are all bought up. Other extensions will invariably thrive. Once people and companies start to develop in the .IN name space, it will do just fine.

As always, IMO.

I am an Indian and we own over 3000 domains - almost 95% are .COMs

given the fact that the extension is NEW and even in India .COM has established its roots so deep that .in can not compete with it.

interesting rickkumar .

i spoke with an indian guy yesterday he came to uk 4 months ago from bangalore. he said the same as you, but he said co.in is becoming more popular because of yahoo.co.in .

when the 3 largest sites in the county / msn/google/yahoo are using .co.in surely it is only a short matter of time before it starts to attact natural type ins.

the uk is a good example of this. some companies use .com some use .co.uk which leads to mass confusion. this is what we want for india.

EXACTLY! Yes, there were some sporadic sales for .cn, but the overall market is VERY weak. I don't see how .in will be any better, except that IN happens to be a very common English word; this may help market *cute* names like bite.in. Another thing is: India was a British colony (yes, that is VERY important) and therefore has a much deeper root of using English (esp. in government) than China; so you can go after basically the same keywords.

I appreciate all your comments, and i promise you one thing......the price my customer pays will not be made public. The artwork and proposal for this has allready been forwarded to my customer (yes I do work 24/7) and I will keep this a private matter..........again thanks for all your comments

 

[Namebrander]

the term porn is common terminology in the uk

 

[GT Web]

I think the term "porn" is popular in every English speaking country in the world

I agree that Bite.in is a good domain just like Match.us domain is.

Thats exactly the reason (Bite In OR Match Us) that I ended up paying mega bucks when I bought Match.us few years ago in a private transaction and now we have a site fufilling the exact meaning of the domain.

So again some particular domain like bite.in can be valuable if developed properly.

Thanks,

Contrary to what some of you say, I don't think .cn market is not that weak. A lot of people are accepting it here in China and as registering a .cn is getting cheaper, people are accepting it. For example, an Ebay purchase of gays.cn was sold for $995 USD on Feb. 24.

 

[mike smn]

I've said this in a few places: India has a population of over 1bn with English being a major language there. This combined with the profusion of tech/callcentre business growing there will help make .in hotter than .cn

(needless to say I picked up a few).

 

[gemsergio]

I am very surprised about some comments in here about our Indian friends.
Indian are a pruod population and they will jump in the .in extension in less than 2 years.
Immagine also the rate at wich the net is expanding in india and you will get a perfect match.
Whoever is ignoring the .in is making the biggest mistakes of all.
In 20/30 years India will be the second largest economy in the world after China with that said yes I would love to own some good chinese names in China and some good English names in India.
Time will tell but this one is a no brainer IMO.

I love all of these people who are throwing around the $0 quotes for generic .in's - I registered 1000 .in's and have already sold 2. Ok, we are not talking huge figures here, $500 and $800 but who cares. Congratulations to anyone who had the vision ... we are on our way

 

[Deleted member 9275]

we are on our way

Another great novelty name I've come across is Whats.In. You could build an entire publishing empire around a brandable domain name like that: magazine, Internet, blog, ezine--the works!
