What does .in stand for?

Whatever you type while browsing internet, like "Yahoo.com" "google.com" "orkut.com" all these are called domains.

There are mainly two types of domains (not depend on the name but the purpose of the domain owner) namely, Generic(.com .org .biz .info etc) and Country (.in .nz .UK .us etc)

Generic Domains

In generic domains .com means (ex Yahoo.com) commercial website (i.e domain)

.org means non profit organizations

.biz means for business

.info for information

Country Domains

.in - India

.ca - Canada

.nz - New Zealand

ex: google.co.in means its an Indian domain and under that a .co that is a co operative organization

Thus, .in stands for India and it is the country domain for India
