.com or .in? Picking a domain extension for an Indian business

The extension (the part after the dot) tells visitors something about you.

.in

India’s country extension. It signals that you are an Indian business serving Indian customers, and short names are often still available.

.com

The best-known extension worldwide. Good if you sell outside India or plan to.

Why not both?

Many businesses register both and point one at the other. That protects your brand and catches visitors who type the wrong one. DOMAINSROCK itself works this way, with domainsrock.com and domainsrock.in, as does Pepplo Web Technologies with pepploweb.com and pepploweb.in.
