.info .info's getting popular?

[christopher_c]

So on my way home last night from work I was behind a city bus and something had caught my eye. Here in Montreal, to find the schedules for the buses/trains, it was common knowledge that you would go to their website http://www.stcum.qc.ca to figure them out. Now instead of having http://www.stcum.qc.ca on the back of the bus, it has been replaced with http://www.stm.info (societe transport de Montreal). I chuckled a little bit and thought some of you might be interested to hear about how the city of Montreal has adopted the .info domain. Might give a bunch of you some new leads on end-users.

Popular information + .info is good domain. If such a site is set up and running, traffic will be increasing, as most online surfers seek information all the time.

I have always been a big fan of .info *IF* the ext fits, what I mean is example your places, facts, one worders, health.
I have noticed in the uk a few more here and there now being advertised, even on tv :tu:

I think the rather long promo didnt, in the end do the ext any favours but hopefully now things will settle and the names will grow.

I am keeping and renewing and looking for more .infos all the time.. I dont think im gonna be rich over night by any means but im hoping they will at least pay for themself and maybe a dinner one night.

I know there are LOTS of peeps that dont really like the extention but I think its great for *information* and fits well.

Agreed Spain.info is my personal favorite. Perfect example of a tourism information website.

I'm not from Canada, but I think it would be easier to remember stm.info rather than stcum.qc.ca

I character less, but much more memorable.

just love info if they fit the domain.
Its so easy to remember and make a difference from the nets and orgs

.info is also cheap to reg and renew, so that's a plus.

 

[bro]

only Too Good keyword info are getting popular,that $1 regfee has messed up with sells.

I bought my first .info today. I really like the idea of .info

.info's are the second best TLD in my opinion and soon enough will the absolute backup plan for a taken .com.

I have also noticed in my local city that the local authorities are using the .info tld in thinks like mycity.info or mycitytravel.info, mycityshopping etc etc ...info is looking good for the future once the rest of the world gets more familiar with it which is starting to happen now.

 

[christopher_c]

Totally agree with you nikki. Will try and incorporate them in my portfolio ^_^

they r simply the best to resell .yesterday i sold a .info for 15$ which i picked up 4 days baxk for 1$.thats five times ur money.to make such return on .com u will have to sell it for 100$.
which is equal to a few months wait(not if u have a great domain)
note:i picked that name from the list of expired .infos posted on this forum

.info domains are definately picking up. I can see the gap between .com & .info prices down the track becoming closer than they are today

.info lost its value after they lowered the prices. But it gave a big boost to numbers in the registry

Here in Australia .info are very popular for buses and trains, here in Sydney I recall every train ticket being printed with the domain: cityrail.info

Domains owned and advertised by the The State Transit Authority of New South Wales include:
http://www.sydneybuses.info
http://www.cityrail.info
http://www.countrylink.info
http://www.sydneyferries.info
http://www.railcorp.info
http://www.StateRail.info
http://www.newcastlebuses.info
http://www.sydneypass.info
http://www.bondiexplorer.info

*edit*: came across another thread regarding Sydney's transport .info's: http://www.namepros.com/domain-name...-use-info-domain.html?highlight=cityrail.info

Great to see INFO picking up. I really think the generic names are the best with the INFO extension than any other, and one-worders haven't had a better match. :imho:

I'll have to pick up a few.

That's great to know. Here in the states, .com is still king.

Is .mobi doing anything down there in the outback?
