.IN Registry :
The INRegistry has been created by NIXI, the National Internet eXchange of India. NIXI is a Not-for-Profit Company under Section 25 of the Indian Companies Act, 1956, with the objective of facilitating improved Internet services in the country.

Under NIXI, the INRegistry functions as an autonomous body with primary responsibility for maintaining the .IN ccTLD and ensuring its operational stability, reliability, and security. It will implement the various elements of the new policy set out by the Government of India and its Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Department of Information Technology.

About .IN

.IN is India’s top-level domain on the Internet. Like .COM, .IN can be used for e-mail, Web sites, and other applications. But unlike other domains, .IN is a unique symbol of India and its role in the world.

The procedures for registering .IN names have been simplified. This allows anyone to register and use .IN domain names. Now .IN names are available for signup through a number of registrars. .IN domains are easy to buy, easy to use, fast and reliable!

New domains top 196 million in Q2 2010

VeriSign reports seven per cent increase in registrations

Over 196 million new domains were created in the second quarter of 2010, according to the latest figures from VeriSign.

The web registry said that registrations of new domains rose seven per cent compared to the same period last year, and two per cent on the first quarter of 2010.

VeriSign reported that users logged an average of 62.5 billion DNS queries each day, reaching a high point of 83.6 billion. The daily average was up 28 per cent over the 2009 quarter.

Outside the .com and .net domains, Germany’s .de was the most popular for new sites. Second on the list was the UK’s .uk, followed by China’s .cn, The Netherlands’ .nl and the European Union’s .eu.

VeriSign also posted the results of a report commissioned by the company on the use of the DNSSec security protocol.

The study, conducted by Forrester Research, found that only 43 per cent of businesses had heard of DNSSec.

Some 88 per cent of those that had heard of the protocol plan to budget, or have already budgeted, for DNS security measures, while 51 per cent reported being targeted by attacks on DNS servers.

“With so many factors pointing to the need for widespread DNSSec adoption, one of the greatest obstacles lies in building awareness of the technology and its value among the internet community as a whole,” said Ken Silva, senior vice president and chief technology officer at VeriSign.

“The path toward global deployment is a long one but, with the implementation of DNSSec at the root, and the growing call for DNS security measures at companies and organisations, the community has taken a significant first step.”

Having already doubled its small and medium enterprise (SME) customer base in India within a year, global Internet search giant Google is now aggressively trying to reach out to the entire sector for online advertising.

India has an estimated 35 million SMEs, out of which only about 200,000 have an online presence through domains, sub-domains and blogs.

“We plan to reach out to all of them, as well as educate the ones who are not online, on the benefits of online advertising,” Google Asia-Pacific Head (Online Sales and Operations) Aliza said.

Google earns the bulk of its global revenue from ‘Adwords’, which allows advertisers to place ads against search results best suited to their interests.
