Hi Friends, I want to buy a domain name but .com is not available.... someone has bought it but it has got nothing. It will be related to India so I want to know which is best abc.co.in or abc.in or abc.org or abc.net Need quick guidance as I am planning to buy the domain this weekend.
abc.in will be the best choice in this case. Note that .IN is top level ccTLD whereas .CO.IN is second level ccTLD. If it had been for a company we would have suggested to safe guard both versions, if it is just for a generic website have the .IN version only. Edit: Sorry, didn't noticed that you mentioned .NET and .ORG are available too, for SEO purpose .NET or .ORG will be better, but then will it suit the site or not has to be decided by you.
hmm... I am thinking to go for .net domain name... although it will be based on some Indian market but why to restrict it in coming search from other places.
.in is good extension. If its related to India, then go for .in extension. bcoz. you can relate it to internet as well as India. Otherwise you regret it some other day, when some other person purchased it. Also in India you will have less competition and you can take it to good position on search engine. Think about it. Best of LuCk.
There is no restriction as per say. What I was trying to say is, if some one else holds the .net or .org version of your name, they will have better ranking. BTW domains are not that costly, if your site/name is important, better book, .net/.org/.co.in along with the .IN Then use .IN as the main site and park others over it. This way you got the best of both. And, yes always keep a watch for the .com version, you never know when it is available again.
