    I have a lot of .in domains coming up for renewal. Is it worth it? They are all lll.in

    Seems like its going to be a lot to renew, do you think it will be worth it in the next couple of years to keep hold of them as an investment?

    Cheers

    Depends on the letters they are made up of.. if they are made up of quad letters, you can always take them as an investment ;)

    Quad Letters: abcdeglmnoprst

    For the others which are expiring.. Try selling them off ?

    there might be potential, but it seems like a gamble.

    India is still developing, and I think their web network is still in the infancy stages so it will probably be awhile before it becomes necessary. However, 4-5 years from now might be worth a lot. India has pretty large population after all ^_^

    Good domain name. They are on the same range as .CC and .WS domain names

    I personally don't value .in domains highly unless they form a sentence that is logical (live.in/country for example).

    They could be worth it IMO. India is developing quite well.

    You have the likes of the Royal Bank of Scotland entering India with rbs.in.

    India is TOP30 country involved in the IT business. And the domain names from the country are very popular.
    Not sure about value, bat facts are facts.

    I have heared India is really getting high on It business,
    and many Indian IT professional are getting hired by google as well every year, as they arranges indian IT colleges placements.
    so .in domian should be valuable in future, and they sounds good as well.

    Something to think about. It is a lot of money.

    I'd say prune down your list to the best ones. Try to develop some of the domains better so they pay for themselves.
