It's sad that Google would associate themselves with an overage hosting company as pathetic as Hostgator.

just think on all those web development houses that are about to struggle... It reminds me of one comment that talked about how google gave things for free, killing innovation on those areas, and they killing the product... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3112444

A great tool for domain harvesters. I expect all meaningful .in domains to exhaust in a few months giving way to black market.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can PAN card be verified using API? If so then who all can get access to that? Its impossible to verify otherwise.

Partners include FISME(Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises), a not-for-profit that has a lot of pull within the government and a really popular bank - ICICI (that has access to PAN numbers anyway); so an internal service to verify PAN numbers would be quite possible. PS - PAN numbers are like SSNs over here.

I can see this making it harder for web developers who want to charge too much to hack together a crappy site for someone's restaurant, but that's not killing innovation: that's progress.
