THE `.in' country code domain name registrations have crossed the 50,000 mark within the first two days of opening of real-time registrations for the general public.

"By today afternoon, over 50,000 domain names had been registered in the general public category. The performance reports coming from our technical partners suggest that `.in' domain name registration process is faster than `.com' and `.net' registration process worldwide," Mr Amitabh Singhal, Acting CEO, National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), said.

Of these, Net4India registered close to 19,000 domain names.

The registrations for the recently-launched `.in' country code Internet domain name had opened for the general public on February 16, and had attracted nearly 24,000 domain name registrations within the first hour.

The `.in' domain name registry had received over 4,000 applications from registered Indian trademark holders during the sunrise period from January 1-21, including applications from among the top 100 brands in India and worldwide.
