Termination of .IN Promo
Mon, Jun 11, 2012Owing to certain issues being faced by the .IN Registry – NIXI, we will unfortunately have to discontinue the .IN Promo for the time being.
Discontinuation of the .IN Promo:
The .IN Promo will be terminated on 8th June, 2012 at 18:00 IST. Once the promo has ended, your cost price for Registrations, Renewals and Transfer-Ins of .IN and Third-Level .IN Domains will revert to slab based pricing as follows:
| Slab | .IN | Third-Level .IN |
| Base Slab | Rs. 500 | Rs. 365 |
| Slab 1 | Rs. 495 | Rs. 360 |
| Slab 2 | Rs. 495 | Rs. 360 |
| Slab 3 | Rs. 485 | Rs. 340 |
Important:
- All specific pricing for .IN & Third-Level .IN Domains will also be reverted to the standard price (as mentioned above). In case you currently receive specific pricing for .IN/Third-Level .IN Domains, you can contact your Account Manager for further details
- If you’ve committed to offering a promotion on .IN Domains to your Customers, we suggest that you register those Domains before the promotion ends tomorrow.
Why is this happening?
According to a statement we received from the Registry, NIXI is investigating claims of a large number of fraudulent Domains under the .IN Domain Name space and have therefore decided to withhold .IN rebates to all Registrars at the moment.
This unfortunate turn of events has left us with no other option but to terminate the existing .IN Promo for all our Resellers.
Next Steps:
We want to assure you that we’re working closely with NIXI and the rest of the Registrar community to ensure that this issue is resolved at the earliest.
We will send across further updates on this issue as we know more. For the time being, you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep yourself updated.
Once again, we apologize for this unforeseen situation and please do get in touch with your Account Manager in case you need any further assistance.
