SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan 19, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Hoping your Web site will become the next "in" thing on the Internet? GoDaddy.com, the world's largest domain name registrar, may be able to help. Go Daddy is adding .IN to its long list of domain offerings.
The .IN extension is actually the official country code top level domain (ccTLD) for India, but it's now available - through GoDaddy.com - for use as a domain by anyone in the world.
This wouldn't be the first time ccTLDs offered through Go Daddy have caught on beyond the country they represent. In January 2008, .ME - the country code of Montenegro - was introduced. In the last year, nearly 200,000 .ME domains have been registered for both personal and professional use.
"Go Daddy is making it easy for anyone interested in using a specific country code to have all their domains in one place," said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "For anyone looking for both low prices and world-class customer support, Go Daddy is the 'in' thing."
The .IN Registry calls .IN "a unique symbol of India and its role in the world." Currently 60 million of India's more than one billion residents are avid Internet users. Only three other countries on earth have more people online.(1)
