Most domain registrars give a discount if you register multiple domains at the same time.</p> <p>Also, my logic was to give a certain indian-ness to your site, so a .com / .net redirecting to a .in site makes more sense than vice versa, because most people wil more likely try to enter .com rather than any other TLD. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/com-vs-coin-vs-in#post-4528 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 11:30:55 +0000 Anonymous 4528@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Thanks Sparx!</p> <p>I will buy both the .com and the .in and just have the .in address redirect to the .com address.</p> <p>Much appreciated :)<br /> Knight </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/com-vs-coin-vs-in#post-4526 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:56:30 +0000 Anonymous 4526@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>No that's not entirely true.</p> <p>It doesn't matter (to SERPs) what your TLD is as long as it is relevant to your users/viewers.</p> <p>Since you are planning to have india-centric content on your site, I sincerely believe a .in domain is as good (in technical terms) as a .com domain.</p> <p>You're also more likely to get a domain name of choice with .in rather than .com although YMMV. Now, having a sub-domain - .co.in *might* hamper your viewers' perception of your site as it resides one level <strong>lower</strong> than the TLD.</p> <p>Ideally find yourself a domain name that's available on all major international TLDs - .com, .net, .org and also .in. That'll help divert visitors who might enter your domain with an incorrectly assumed extension.</p> <p>Example - thinking indianews.com instead of indianews.in etc. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/com-vs-coin-vs-in#post-4524 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:04:42 +0000 Anonymous 4524@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>.com is best for news site...</p> <p>All my domains are .com </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/com-vs-coin-vs-in#post-4523 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 01:29:17 +0000 Anonymous 4523@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Can someone explain the logic behind registering a site with TLD as .com vs .co.in vs .in?</p> <p>For example, if I want to start a news blog on India, would it make more sense for me to register the TLD as .co.in or .in as opposed to .com?</p> <p>what are the pros/cons of each TLD? can someone pls post some info regarding this?</p> <p>Thank You,<br /> Knight </p>
