I usually prefer Godaddy as my domain registrar because of its coupons which substantially lowers the price of a given extension even .in. But the major problem with Godaddy is that it supports either PayPal or credit card for payments. Most of the Indians don’t have access to either of these options. I am also in the same category though i do have access to VCC facility from my bank.
If this is your case than i will suggest you to register your .in domain with Mitsu.in because of the fact that their price (renewal, registration and transfer) for .in extension is the lowest in the market and their price remains unchanged with respect to any change in the dollar vs. rupee scenario. They are basically the resellers of Directi, a bigger domain registrar. Directi is also an Indian company with global operations.
Mitsu.in have variety of payment options. These include:
- Net Banking
- Debit Card (CC Avenue)
- Credit Card
- Over the counter cash deposit in their bank account (this method will take some time and hence domain registration will not be instant)
- NEFT transfer to their bank account (You have to email them after transferring the money for domain registration)
If you want to register other extensions than Mitsu.in is not a good option. For other extensions their price is quite high. I would prefer Godaddy for other extensions.
