Spain.info!

[octobus]

This site is frequently advertised on CNN and BBC World. Maybe dot-info is worth something afterall..

Great example of .info usage exceeding the .com version, octo!

NO .infos are better than the .com version, however, yes, this is a nice one.

Very Nice.. and PROPER use..you have NO TM issue problems..

When I'm setting up a noncommercial informational site, I'd rather use an .info name than a .com... it's more logical.

Great example!

.INFO is a natural for certain sites. Our very own domain industry watcher http://www.sotd.info is an excellent example of those who chose not to rely on .commercial. :razz:

Wow! I'm surprised if you were able to reg that one. Every other country .info that I have seen has been restricted by Afilias.

Checking the whois, it's regged by the Tourism Institute of Spain, is that you? If it is, I can see how you were able to get it. Either you are an official department of Spain, or you were able to get Afilias to think so.

In case it's the second, I wouldn't be posting too many times to forums about it.

 

[StockDoctor]

Or maybe you're just commenting about the acceptability of the .info extension. In that case, nevermind.

Affilias has a list of restricted country domains. I can't remember the url but my guess is that spain is not restricted because espana is.
I own england.info. Someone else owns britain.info. UnitedKingdom is restricted.

Thank you for the clarification there dvdrip. So there is a world out there besides the US.

Pardon my ignorance. Doc

"No infos are better than .coms"

Look at:

LowerManhattan.com

Its still "FOR SALE" looking for a homepage of its own

Now see this:

www.LowerManhattan.info

I just sold this a few weeks ago...look at the quality of the site; it's put up by Company 39...big enough to easily afford .com version if they wanted to!!

A .info address just looks more USEFUL to the surfer.

I've seen ads for cancun.info on cnn too. Its getting ridiculous how bright the future of .info is. The sky and beyond is the limit.

.Info does have that natural trust factor happening. My affiliate sales by far are much better with .infos than others. If this is not a fluke, and big business discovers this, well then, there's a painful experience in store for the die hard .commers.

re: Tee

Same experiance here, my affiliate sales have been skyrocketing since I started using .info

And they say there are no commercial value in .info ??
Well, it makes me smile every time I se somebody write it.

;-)

 

[mole]

Maybe those 2 years of .info Land Rush horror was not such a bad thing after all.

I remember tee got suckered big time by one sleezy outfit who wanted everyone to cheat on the trademark claim.
