.info Is .info dead?

[Ray]

Is .info dead..

I never see any sites really anymore that utilize this extensions. Is there a significance of potential profit in .info's.

IMHO, I was never really a fan of the .info extension, never really saw a point in it. Most of the .infos i seen are parked pages. I think out of the hundred of domains i owned i only owned 2 .infos

I am just curious to know because I really dont here much correspondance on them. I might regg one for the h*ll of it. (wasting money)

I think .info was stillborn.

I think .info is far from dead but really begs development. I'm sure Barefoottech would be glad to educate you on the value of .info. I buy .info Geo's.

well for domainers not exactly a gold mine, but yeah i agree it's still unborn.
i own 2 .info as well but if my target are domainers i'll stick with .com

 

[Keral_Patel]

I registered .infos only one time in my life and then I have promised myself never to register even the best ones if it has .info TLD.

I would have to agree lol... I

 

[weblord]

since it's more like an informational site, without the content, development, membership/scripts/turnkey it's not that high to sell.

I would have to agree lol... I

don't forget "info" is also a keyword apt to be typed in..

yes that is true..

I do not think that is a dead ext. I use it often times for mini sites, mainly because it is so cheap, and good keywords are still available.

 

[dgridley]

I rarely buy anything else

Highly undervalued.

Highly undervalued.

Geography.info

Thats a pretty solid .info

BFT would also agree being that he owns minisite.info

Geography.info looks really nice (the website itself). :tu:

(sidebar links not working?)

Didnt notice that before, but you are correct, they do not work.

Keep in mind that alot of people are blocking .infos as spam related domains. I think someone posted about this recently here on NamePros.

Take a look at this: http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/08/17/info-domains-are-dead/

if you own nice ones and are willing to develop, info are great. if you dont and cant be bothered to develop then you will feel different :sold:

however, it's true there aren't many it seems great developed sites

for those domainers that do own great info domains and/or have developed sites they can view some others here and submit their own sites to the official info site:

http://info.info



http://info.info/directory

.info is sh*t as tons of spam message and virus flooding to my email and MSN are all .info

ironically all the spam on some of my ideveloped sites that keep 'posting' comments and spam emails are all .com,.de & .ru
loads of .ru & .de

because at some registrars .info is dirt cheap some spammers use, that doesn't make an extension sh*t, quite uneducated comment

in fact i can show you hundreds of spam every week that are purely .com, this is the sort of domain they use: xsdsdsdfdfdf.com
and it drives me mad. doesn't make .com bad purely for that

No .info is very much alive, I saw lots of sites using it
