There are a lot of established bitcoin businesses and startups using the .in ccTLD (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INRegistry, appointed by the government of India).

.in provides a clever way to end your domain brand with "co.in". However, given the latest developments in India, it may be wise to rebrand or, at the very least, have a clear transition strategy in place in case your .in domains are confiscated.

Being forced to change your domain name isn't the end of the world, but it could result in extremely negative press.

I dont think bitcoin per se is illegal in india, therefore there is nothing to worry about. Even if bitcoin was made illegal in india I doubt they would take domains of businesses not based in india.

agree with Krach - i`ve also registered a bunch of .in domains and am actually here on the ground. RBI is spreading a lot of FUD right now but things should soon settle down - it wont be going the China way for sure. As for the TLD`s the domain name business is booming in India right now and the govt. fully approves of it. There`s no risk involved with cc TLD`s at all !

I always thought you had to have a physical address in a country to get the specific domain.. IE - you have to have a canadian address to get .ca - never really put much thought into it, but OP makes a good point.  Never hurts to have a backup plan!

In Canada this does happen, but other countries may have more relaxed rules.

For example, Tokelau (http://dot.tk/) gives free domains, along with paid plans, and you don't need to have an address on the island to use them.

An economy based on endless growth is unsustainable.
