Scottsdale, Arizona – (The Hosting News) – January 26, 2009 – Web hosting domain registrar, GoDaddy, has debuted the launch of the new .IN, to its long list of domain offerings, the official country code top level domain (ccTLD) for India, now available for use as a domain, by anyone interested.
According to Go Daddy, this isn’t the first time ccTLDs offered through Go Daddy have caught on beyond the country they represent.
