in your opinion what's the lesser of two evils for a two-word 'promotional business' site:

hyphenated.com or straigh .info ?

"www.example-domain.com" vs. "www.exampledomain.info" ?

thx.
 
The secondary market values a straight (pure) info over a hyphenated com me thinks. Development and SEO would favor the Hyphen com though, and that's what it's really about. If you're looking for quicker resale go the info. If developing and looking for revenue and a higher sale later, go the hyphen com.

Someday the secondary market will figure this out.
 
The problem with a hyphenated name is that many people will not type in the hyphen -- so much of the business goes to your non-hypenated counterpart that someone else owns.

And it can be tough to market!

Some hyphenated dot coms in the right industry may work, but in general I would say the non-hyphenated .info
