All the NNNN.INFO are gone!

[DANIDOMINIOS]

I have done a scan of all the NNNN´s info and I see that all are gone...Do you think they have any worth?Do you think the next with be pronounceable LLLL.INFO´s?

My opinion. If the .org is not registered, I am not interested in .info. A large percentage of .info domains are not renewed. A lot of domainers consider .info a safer bet because they can get 7 for the price of 1 .org for the first year.

A lot of the registrars including e*om gave people the .info to there .com free in the heop they would renew it the following year. A bit of a sly trick and unorganised people had the domains auto renew without realising, this might help explain why all the .info's are taken. You can always do a test of taking some random NNNN.com's and checking the whois for them and the .info, mty guess is that you would see quite a few matches

.info sold out before .org?

 

[skylineleong]

because .info $0.99 register (first year)

:bingo:

This time next year expect the NNNN.org buyout to have happened and the NNNN.info to be far off it.

i have couples of them,
and surprisingly it gets traffics, the best one gets 76 hits so far ... do not know what they are looking for

NNNN.info is better than NNNN.org. Why organisation need numbers? While numbers and Information are tightly connected.

Agree 100%.

I was thinking about buying out NNNN.infos myself last year but somewhat forgot about it when I got obsessed with LLLL.coms...

Long term, I think these will make excellent investments.

I'm not sure if that's a joke or not. Firstly, the advantage of these numerical domains is that they're short; .info is longer than .org. Secondly, the majority of the NNNN.orgs that have been registered up to this point (resellers are only just starting to get on board) are owned by end users/developed. Thirdly, .org is a more widely known and respected TLD than .info. Fourthly, look at the values of NNN.org and NNN.info; you can't sell NNN.info for anything above $200, yet it is a steal to find a NNN under $500.

The CEO of Proxiti wrote in to my blog last week, they bought 6,000 NNNNN.info's that represent French postal codes because ".info" is a popular extension in French and the .info's were cheaper than their other options. So apparently there is some end-user interest in these domains, although I have never gotten interested in buying them.

Elaborating on what Ergo said, many numbers have special meanings and likely most numbers (in the 1000-9999 range) have special meaning to someone out there.

1492.info in example could be a site about Christopher Columbus -- much better for that particular purpose than 1492.org. Likewise, 2010 could make a nice site about the summer olympics that'll be happening in Singapore then or 2012 could make for a good Doomsday site for people contemplating the end of the Mayan calendar...

This is particularly useful for dates in the 1000-2100 or so range, however you'll find many higher numbers useful for other purposes as well.

All in all, I think they're a good investment. I don't think there's an enduser out there for all of them, but I do think there are endusers out there for enough of them to support the annual renewal fees.

I will definitely agree with your view on 0-2100.info having a minimum of reg fee value. However, you only need to look at the LLL.info and LLL.org market (both in which I have significant holdings) to see that .org brings much more end user sales. Similarly, .org is used in many other extensions such as .org.cn and .org.uk, thus bringing a much more global feel even if "Organisation" isn't used in all these countries.
