Can't you make your alternate domain redirect to your actual domain? Would avoid all possible issues — Matti Virkkunen, Jan 02 '13 at 12:06
Will it increase access time ...?? or any hidden drawback ?? — chetan Saini, Jan 02 '13 at 12:09
Only very slightly on the first request (this is negligible), after that it's redirected to your main domain and it works exactly as before. And a drawback we know about wouldn't really be hidden now would it? — Matti Virkkunen, Jan 02 '13 at 12:11

You can redirect www.abc.com to www.abc.in so if someone opens .com domain it automatically opens .in. Otherwise if you want to use .com only then you can make 301 redirects which is SEO friendly and your ranking will not be affected. Still, I would prefer 1st one personally

@chetan: You should specify what you already know (i.e. how much you googled and which pages you read already) so we don't have to re-explain things and waste time. – Matti Virkkunen Jan 02 '13 at 12:14
@MattiVirkkunen what are the drawbacks of 301 redirect. – chetan Saini Jan 02 '13 at 12:20
@chetan: Why do you assume there are any? – Matti Virkkunen Jan 02 '13 at 12:21
@chetanSaini 301 redirects are SEO friendly, I dont think there are any harms – Ankush Jan 02 '13 at 12:22
