Live .IN Registrations will not work for the next few hours through DirectI. This is because the subnet of the servers on which our domain management system is hosted is not yet added by Afilias (the .IN Registry).

We wanted to launch Live Registration as soon as pre-registrations got over and were fully ready with everything on our side. We were even told by the registry technical support that this subnet would be added in 2-3 hours. However, we have a new update from them and they have said that they will take 24-48 hours to add the subnet. We believe its taking more time as everyone is stressed out even at the registry as the last 48 hours have been hard work for everyone to meet launch deadlines.

We hope to start Live Registrations in the next few hours.
