.info
Domain Name Information
Introduction | FAQ
| Order
In an
effort to answer the growing demand for an increased quantity and variety
of domains on the Web, Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN) recently approved .info as one of seven additional global Top-Level
Domains (gTLDs).
Why
choose .info?
Availability
Many of the most common or useful names in the .com .net and .org namespaces
have long since been registered. A poll of active operating registrars
conducted by SnapNames.com shows that 97% of user attempts to register
a .com domain fail!
Unrestricted
The .info registry is an open one which means that .info is the only new
unrestricted domain out of the seven new gTLDs approved. As the one "true"
alternative to .com, .net and .org, it is also expected to generate the
largest demand in the marketplace which will foster the development of
universal recognition and acceptance.
Worldwide Appeal
The .info extension can represent the abbreviated form of the word "information"
in many languages other than English. This translatability will aid in
the adoption and acceptance of .info.
Protection of Interests
Many existing domain registrations represent valid and legitimate business
interests. As the launch of .info progresses, it is important for businesses
to seize the opportunity provided by the registry to protect those interests.
