Getting a .IN Domain from Rediff
Well, I was thinking of getting an .IN domain which is exclusively for India. I searched the domain boss GoDaddy, but they do not have .IN domains and so I had to settle for the Indian site Rediff. I found it very difficult to find out how to register for domain from Rediff. In between I found another site which offers .IN Domains and compared the rates. The advantage of getting the domain from Rediff is that the price is shown in INR and it showed me 800 Rs for .IN Domain, at the same time the other site showed me 19.9 USD. The problem in paying in USD is that the exchange rate keeps on fluctuating and currently its somewhere near 49Rs =1USD.
Finally I selected my domain (which I’ll reveal later, I have some big plans with it) and paid the amount. After payment, it said they will sent me a mail confirming the purchase. I didnt close the purchase window, till the time the mail arrived in my inbox.
The mail said that the purchase is successful, but the amount is not yet paid from the credit card company and domain will be available only after purchase. Half an hour later, I got another mail saying that the money transfer was successful. I was in the hope of setting up the domain, but when I logged in, there is no mention of domains purchased. I checked my mail again, it said domain will be activated only within 48 hours, now what is that?
When you register with GoDaddy, domains are available the next moment payment is made, may be this is Indian company and they might have many more formalities before activating the domain.
Anyways I’m waiting for the domain activation.
So…Did you get it???I didnt expect this from rediff…I hope its activated by now….
@Joel,
