I am going to launch a website, both the domains are not in use yet i.e. .co.in and .in but the .com is already occupied. So the choice only are the above both. Which one should is choose, which one is more user friendly?

I think you should take both the remaining domains and watchout for .com too whenever it is free.

"[Dot] in" is more likely to choose.

It is more convenient to use.

If I were you I will choose .co.in, simply because it has more advantage when it comes to search engine rankings from what I have seen. For user friendly websites, choose .in extension. Bigrock has .in and .co.in domains for 99rs first year, so try to register both if possible. However its upto you. :)

consider the whole gamut of domains, there is also .biz and .co its user friendly to include the domain into the name of the site (eg: canv.as or expla.in). this has the added advantage of making your site easier to type, and share on social networks.
donno how this about the search rankings tho

I do not know why but .co domains are very very expensive

.in is better because it is smaller (atleast to me)..Don't they cost the same in bigrock? Price isn't much of a factor here then.

I do agree with your guys.. .in is short and simple and then it all depends on SEO :p
