Syahid.asia is available! Not that interesting though. All the “cyber squatters” must be licking their lips for domains like fant.asia etc.

@Madhur,
That was before the domains were available. Try goDaddy, its best as pointed out by Aravind.

@ Madhur Kapoor

They charge Rs.800/- for the domain name alone and asks you $100 as “processing fee”. Actually, that processing fee was for during the sunrise and landrush periods. But, they haven’t removed that even after .asia passed “Go Live!”.

Try GoDaddy, they provide it for $19.99 (i.e.abt Rs.800/-) per year and a little more as ICANN fees.

I too have blogged on this. Read your post after that. Otherwise, would’ve given you a trackback.

Dunno why. .com, .co.in, .tv, .name, .org, .net , .in, nothing is available. Even some 27 months back!

Incidentally ‘ashwin’ on Google gets ashwinr.com in 1st or 2nd SERP.
