.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.

I`m storaging CVCV.info exactly because when people will realise how good .info is and how undervalued has been by resellers, I`ll have a nice smile

I`m getting increasing traffic on my parked ones plus I sold 3 CVCV.info for:

$100 (received e-mail by whois)
$110 (sold @ SEDO)
$150 (received e-mail by whois)

.INFO is the 3th strongest TLD just after .com and .net

 

[earnbussi]

have just started registering more and more infos.
thanks to this thread

I love infos as well. I noticed as well that for SEO they are very good and also in Italy info s are quite popular. I have a couple I like in my sign.

I'd put it 4th after .ORG

I'd put it 4th after .ORG

We have different points of view then

Maybe this link http://www.domainbits.com/increase-value can settle the dispute whether .info is in 3rd or 4th place Seems like co.uk is sniffing on the 3rd place...

Snips from the above link (posted on sevenmile and domaining):

Contrary to popular belief, .info hasn't done too badly in comparison to .net and .org

and

For the conservative investor, and probably the newbie, the recommendation I see from this is to stick with .com as much as possible. From the data, .com seems to be the surest thing.

However, the last year has shown that there are opportunities in all extensions, as .co.uk and .net seem to have done as well as or better than .com. Where these opportunities lie is harder to discern from the data, but given the recent increased interest in ccTLDs, perhaps these are the domain extensions that will provide the most opportunity.

.biz and .cc should be avoided. .mobi, .eu and .tv should be approached with caution.

Interesting link - only problem is that it takes the few top sales only so the data is somewhat lacking. Thanks for sharing! Rep added.

.info is becoming more popular by the day, and in rate of growth is out pacing .org easily. Putting aside the ccTLD's (.de, .co.uk, .us and .cn) I think the general value table is now definately:

.com
.net
.info
.org
.biz

As has been pointed out it is the universal appeal of .info that is exciting and its ability to 'make sense' with so many domain names (especially when compared to .org).

I still have lots of cvcv.infos for sale for only $5.50 each. Check out the link in my signature. :notme:

I'm a seller/dropper of .info domains, but I keep buying more

IMO. All extensions will increase in popularity.

The registry will try every means to market their product. The domainers would do everything to earn.

I have always loved .info .. Yes they have had a long promo (which imo), was too long but I thinks its great for those names that fit the extention *im not into brandable .info*

I have renewed most of my .infos for a couple of years now and they do ok parked and have had some nice *not fantastic* sales.

I think it will continue to grow and I know many out there dont entertain the extention but it doesn't do us all to like the same..

One of the great things with .INFO is the great entry price. Unlike other extensions, you can get .INFO domains for $1.99 for one years registration on registrars such as www.nuggetnames.com

I like to use .INFO to try out great ideas and they are really good to start forums and wikis.
