Our Bureau

New Delhi , April 6

THE `.in' Internet domain name registration has crossed the 1-lakh mark in just over 90 days since its official relaunch, the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) said today.

`.in' domain names are held by registrants from 108 different countries, the most popular of which are India, Germany, and the US, which together account for over 80 per cent of registrations, a release said here. India accounts for 62 per cent of the registrants, Germany for 11 per cent and US about 10 per cent.

`.in' relaunch began in January with the opening of a 21-day sunrise period for trademark owners. More than 2,000 names were registered during this period, or about four per cent of the total registrations. `.in' was officially opened to the public on February 16.

More than 45,000 registrations or 52 per cent of total names registered to date were clocked during the initial 24-hour period. Subsequently, the name has grown to over 1,00,000 names as of April 6.
