No. The Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Curia had been hosting an official Website of the Syro-Malabar Church; however, that site no longer exists.

Note: The domain name of the official Website of the Syro-Malabar Church has been taken over by some cyber squatter. Therefore, that link has been removed from this website.

There is nothing wrong in there being parallel websites to the official website; still, SyroMalabar.com is NOT a parallel website to the official website of the Syro-Malabar Church. It is quite clear that SyroMalabar.com is vastly different from the Syro-Malabar Church's official website in content, presentation, and scope.

Why not?
The initial stereotype of limiting "dot coms" to only something commercial is gone. Many non-commercial websites now-a-days operate by dotcom Top Level Domain names. Besides, the "dotcom" is where web users first try to get to.

This is a famous dictum or saying that applies to St Thomas Christians. It can be explained as follows:

• The religion is of course Christian.
• St Thomas Christians follow the Oriental or Eastern Rite worship style, different from the Latin rite.

Therefore, once the website grew in size and popularity to above 500 pages and 50,000 monthly page views, SyroMalabar.com applied for Google's contextual advertising plan that is being implemented by millions of websites including tens of thousands of Christian websites. After review, Google selected SyroMalabar.com for the plan in March 2007. Google now serves small advertisements on the site relevant to the page content.
