Why Choose .info?
The .info top level domain isn’t like the other thousands of TLDs on the market. This trailblazing domain name was one of the first alternatives to .com. The .info domain extension came to being after ICANN released seven new generic top level domains (gTLDs). This momentous event was the first wave of new TLDs since the domain name system was developed in the 1980s. Of that initial release of seven new domain extensions, .info has been one of the most successful, even with the current availability of hundreds of other options.
Who uses the .info domain?
Although the .info domain extension was originally intended for informative websites, its use soon broadened to include many other uses. It can be used freely as an alternative to .com and the remaining registered gTLDs.
You might want to register a .info domain if:
-
Your site is all about sharing information, product specifications or research
-
The .com version of your name has been taken, but the .info version is available
-
You want to complement your commercial site with an informational site
-
You want to connect with international customers
-
You need to protect your brand – if your business has registered a .com domain, registering the corresponding .info domain will prevent cyber-squatters from getting in there first
Internet users are drawn to domain names they can understand and remember. The .info domain extension is a perfect example of this type of domain. Spread the word about your service, cause, product, or anything else that takes your fancy. There’s no better way than with your own .info TLD.
