To .co.in or Just .in is The Question?

Ministry of Communications & Information Technology has done it again, not just do they come up with bad government websites but also misleading advertisements too.

Click the ad. below to enlarge it and check out what it says. You will notice that all the time the Ministry i trying to promote .co.in for Indian websites YET when you want some more info you have to log on to registry.IN. You will also find most of the websites listed in the background are also .in and NOT .co.in

Well… to be frank, it does not matter if you have your domain name in either .co.in or just .in, technically there is no preference given to any domain names. I prefer .in as it is shorter.
