The .in-side story

I found those in-teresting .in registrations - notice the time stamps.

The last 3 by the same person. He missed sex.in by 1 second. I wonder what other names he grabbed.

Interestingly the Sponsoring Registrar is InterNetX GmbH .
In addition InterNetX got

Wondering, whether InterNetX GmbH had any pre-registration process and allowing only 1 person to pre-register a domain, unlike directi.

InterNetX GmbH won hands down. They were excellent, wish I knew about them, and would love to know they did to set themselves apart. Apart from the names already mentioned, they acquired the majority of the top 100 keywords on my list and they assigned ownership the same day. Does anyone know how much each registration cost, fixed fee or auction style prior to release with Internext was?

Unfortunatley I pre-regged with Directi, what a disaster. Directi has been a total flop. As of today they still haven't decided what to do with the names. Intervention will now be required by the registry, www.registry.in, to sort the problem out as Directi do not have not ability to sort it out and whatever they do now would seem to lack transparency and fairness. What was going to be a huge winfall has turned into a huge pr disaster for them. They should have at least consulted with the registry prior to domains being released to propose what they anticpated doing to avoid the resulting mess.

InterNetX infrastructure and subnet connection must have been working as promised by Afilias during the initial hours of registration.
InterNetX Seems to have some relationship with Afflias .
Heard that it partly own Afilias (not sure/confirmed).

Afilias messed big time with some of the Directi subnet connections.
Inspite of this DirectI has got some great Domain Names.
Hopfully they will decide on the a distribution startegy.


I went with DirectI preregistration because of their experience drop catching for Pool.com & Snapname.com

Can't understand German so InterNetX was not an option.
