Thanks in advance.

positive a legit phrase in energy
could be a nice development project
negatives .info has been dead for years that's why it dropped after many years of reg's were on it

should be 100 or so all day reseller

I doubt any developers are doing anything in .info and with all the new tld's no reason for an end user to much over 250 bucks on a good day

now .com it's money, .net would be the cheap tld to develop in and it could easily be a .org

outside of maybe .energy the .info is a nice tld for it, but it's a grunt project

not worth development costs to make it relevant enough to get traffic

emd's are now dead to google unless you put a ton of work into it and keep it 'fresh'

so I don't see any reason to put much into it, but a fast flip on flippa or ebay or even sedo should bring high xx to low xxx offers maybe

great term but no big demand IMO

now if fracking gets outlawed in USA and high oil prices return then an end user would see way more value in it

we've been in a nice window of 'cheap oil' for a while now, so the price of oil will hurt or help this phrase

nice name but low oil prices and .info kind of kills it

Only the best .infos sell for xxx these days, I'd say $20 is the ceiling to domainers and there are virtually no end users

 

[idomainappraisal]

Put on SEDO it will get offers all year long
Maybe a big company

 

[philhevican]

Its on sedo for sale but I haven't put it in an auction or anything just yet.

For me, it is definitely worth keeping this name.

For me, it is definitely worth keeping this name.

The more I see this name hanging around here, the more I like it for a minor development project

If OP knows how to do wordpress and IF here's a spot oil price widget then a simple autopilot post creation site with autopost to social media should be enough to get his .info on most SE's page one serp for the term

then if either of these two tragedies hit soon or another event happens to raise oil prices, it will be a major traffic site for the term

All you need is a mega quake to level a USA city soon and have fracking blamed then you see a huge jump in oil prices

Or if the newly elected dictator Drumpf (real family name of Trump) gets the reason to turn the middle east into a nice plane of glass then we see 200 to 2000 buck a barrel oil and this term is on every's mind

You got two problems though, cheap hosting is horrible for WP sites, many with minor page size now open over 10 seconds and you need under 1 second to not lose traffic and over 3 seconds is death

So costs to have legit speed hosting for WP is usually 200+ month

Then if the OP doesn't know how to do simple WP development you could spend 500 to 5K easily on minor development

Then if there's no easy widget to bring into WP a fresh up to date spot oil value, you need to maintain it a few times a day at least

So to maximize the value of this .info it has to have development or you have a nice keyword phrase in an okay tld and not much reason for a developer to buy it with so many new tld's

If you build it right and give it speed, you could be in position to reap big rewards when the next oil price surge hits for whatever reason it occurs

Really GOOD phrase here
