Achtung buying .info's.

Tee · 11-07-2002, 02:58 PM

It means "attention!" and has other similar meanings. .Infos are very popular in germany.

That's the second time I heard this week that .info (and .biz) are
famous in German.

Do you have a sample .info sites (famous company, or heavily
trafficked website) that as a .info extension?

It may bring back my religion in .info

Thanks,
Aldo

Check out http://www.sedo.de to see what the Germans are buying.

All i see is .com, and .de sales. Not one .info. But good luck.

Tee · 11-07-2002, 03:35 PM

I haven't heard that about .biz to be honest. sedo.de has a list of some .info names that have sold, some for decent amounts and I've also heard that .info registrations are rivaling .de registrations in some registrars in germany. All offers for names I have have been from people from germany btw

Maybe some other people can comment on this.

Here is a .info site from one of the world's largest software companies:

SAP (http://www.sap.info)

The following (from DomeBase) are .INFO sales from the following source (in Euros - one euro is almost exactly one dollar)

Notice that last one - 30,000 Euros!!

There is definitely a great deal of interest in .infos in Germany and other parts of Europe. I think it will get much bigger here too.
The world is changing folks. People who think things will ALWAYS be the same (especially in the internet world) are in for a very rude awakening one day.

Most were english words....a few german.

Good luck. Maybe it can be a safety site.

Tee · 11-07-2002, 03:53 PM

Thanks do. I was thinking maybe a news portal or something similar. Not many searches in ov but a lot of returns in google.

Tee · 11-07-2002, 03:54 PM

Yeah, you tell em Duke!

Tee · 11-07-2002, 03:56 PM

It doesn't really mean caution. They have another word for that. It means attention! or look out or heads up in an exclamatory way.

I think you mean most of the words were German and a few were English do.
