Answer 1

If you have access to the web server, use the configuration to archieve this. In case of apache2, it would just require a server alias in the virtual host. Otherwise, use redirects or url rewriting.

If you cannot use them either (because you are on a limited virtual environment, f.e.), place an index.html in your .com directory, configure it to redirect via meta-refresh tag. Place the following line in the header section of your index.html:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://yourinsite.in/">

Then use the DirectoryIndex directive on a .htaccess file to automatically load it as default index page:

DirectoryIndex index.html

This brings up the index.html when the user browses yoursite.com/ and lead her to yourinsite.in automatically.
