.info versus .net

**deist** · 12-11-2002, 07:24 PM

would someone please post a link to the thread where there was a poll asking people to rank domain extensions in order of value? I want to know what the majority consensus was in .info versus .net. (For example, I am a cheapskate and found a name I dig available in both, I'm only going to register one.)
This is a rather academic word I'm registering... net and info both apply.

I found it, looks like .info edges out .net, which makes sense w/ the whole pan european recognition thing.

in my opinion, .net is better than .info by FAR

Actually that poll wasn't about ranking extensions in order of TODAY's value - it was about which extensions were best to invest in for FUTURE value. In that poll both .INFO and .US finished far ahead of .NET.

This is the order of how I like them and how I would use them if I was making a website:

.com
.us
.net
.info
.biz
.org

.net might get you $50 .info $0

**Whois-Search** · 12-11-2002, 08:41 PM

in England .co.uk is better than .com

**deist** · 12-11-2002, 10:24 PM

if .net is more valuable now, why should .info supercede it? is .net, after all this time, unfamiliar outside of the U.S.?

not this again.

**Kid Kool** · 12-11-2002, 10:35 PM

.net over any name. no question about it

Yes, I still have yet to see .info be used.

Insert: Hi, Ford.

1.5 million pages of .INFO

So far I've sold three .INFO domains this year at an average price of $2600....so don't say .INFO gets you $0....it all depends on what you've to offer...

Thanks

I seen a TV commercial yesterday with a .info Tld. First time I'd actually seen it used other than on DNforum. I can't remember for the life of me, what the commerical was about! If I see it again, I'll let everyone know!

I like .com
.sex.....yes there really is a dot sex Tld.
.kids
.us
.net
.cc
.info
.org
Not necessarily in that order...depends on application.

But when companies grow they look for a .com for international trading.

Surely .info is better for information sites, and .net is better for internet related services and blog owners.
