.IN Extension - What Do You Think

[mixke]

I came across a post here which was not in the favor of the .IN domains stating the "marketablity" of the .IN extension and so, I was just wondering what do you guys think of a .IN extension?
Good enough for an important project targeting people across the world?

Are you just wanting to develop the name for a site or are you thinking about resale values of .in extention as well?

If you're just targeting India, I think it's a great extention for that. If you're looking to target the whole world, the .in might not be the best extention for you.

Both !

If you're just targeting India, I think it's a great extention for that. If you're looking to target the whole world, the .in might not be the best extention for you.
I am looking forward to target users around the world and not just India.

Well IMO, I don't like .IN domains since it's a country-code domain (India). I liked to have a branded one, a .COM one.. ;)

well, the most popular domain extensions are .com,.net and .org and it depends on what content you have in your site..

If your site represents a Company, usually you have to use .com..

If it is a network or tech related.. use .net

and If it is a non-profit organization, use .org


Using that kind of extensions tells that your site is for local viewing only,(Usually promoted locally, based on the country)..


But then again, its your choice... :)

Well, .in prices and demand have risen and would continue to rise with India emerging a good market and audience from global perspective.

Also, if your domain name rhyms with .in, it's pretty. I've come across such domains and are easy to remember.

A .com name is the best for targetting a world wide audience......the others .net, .org, .info, .biz, .mobi, and the other country specific domains.........not so much.

why not use .us or .de? I think more people in europe would remember a .de than a .in

It depends on the domain name that you have.

Smub here had idk.in ( now sold to another person) and I, for one, have no issues in recollecting that name ( That is how the name makes it to this thread :p)

If you were to purely look at it from the marketing POV, then a .com would be the way to go. But if you were selling Indian products to the world or something like that, a .in may not be such a bad idea, but you might lose type in traffic to the com
