Hi Avinash ,
Thanks for your feedback.I am glad it helped you, you can use same email id for hostgator.com and hostgator.in but give diff user names. If you get more traffic from foreign countries then i suggest you to go with hostgator.com.

Hi, Thanks for posting this article.
Where should we submit W8 Ben form? Do we need to pay 30% income tax to US? Is that income tax or profit tax?
Thanks again
Hi, Thanks for posting this article.
After filling the W8BEN, my income from the US is being taxed. Do I need to pay further tax on the remaining income, in India?
Thanks a lot!
