Why .in?
Why get a .in domain name?

Add to that the fact that in 2010, the registry INRegistry, who is in charge of .in, launched a promotional campaign to encourage the adoption of this domain ending. The result was a half million domain names that today are still registered thanks to this ccampaign and .in is now a prominent domain ending used in every part of the country and beyond.
