About 83% of all LLL.in combos are now registered. Typical steady number of registrations in the last 24 hours -- so there's now about 2950 LLL.in left. Yesterday's registrations primarily originated from Great Britain, Norway (where JJ has almost completed a buyout of LLL.in starting with "i"), and a smattering of registrants from Russia. Complete list is larger than DP allows, but I attached a short list about 1000 long of available LLL.in starting with X, Y, and Z (note: list is about 24 hours old). Regards!
I checked all the domains on that list and they are either taken already or "status unknown" which probably means they just got taken.
I did a check on the first fifty from the list (and double checked with multiple services to confirm) -- of those, only xdf.in has been registered since yesterday. The others are still available. Seems that the Indian registry is refusing your (or your registrar's) whois requests. In any case, the typical number of net registrations with the directi sale going on is about 50/day. That should get the LLL.in population very close to a buyout by the end of the month (and I suspect a last minute discount buying surge). Otherwise, under pre-sale conditions, LLL.in registration at standard registration price have been about 10/day. Regards!
I see what you mean. I can't find another registrar with whiz.in type prices. They are all $6-7+ each. Whiz.in has some real problems with the site. Indialinks only takes visa and I'm not giving that one out to the internet.
Most of the Directi/Resellerclub resellers (where the sale is happening) have similar payment and control panels. Might do a search on the typical forums to find reviews of reputable directi or resellerclub resellers. For instance, answerable.com is offering .in at $5. You might see what others have to say about them. For that matter, it's pretty cheap to become a directi reseller. Just tried mine and was able to access it. 2Dec07 // 1244 Los Angeles time. Ah...
