.INFO Domain Names
What is .INFO?
.INFO is the Internet's first unrestricted top-level
domain since .COM, which began use in 1985. Intuitive, easy to use,
and universally recognized, .INFO domain names are your opportunity
to reach a worldwide audience with information about you, your ideas,
or your organization.
There are no restrictions on who may register .INFO
names. .INFO was created for general use around the
world. Use your .INFO name for business, personal use,
your organization whatever you like.
Is .INFO universally recognized? Absolutely. Anyone
anywhere in the world can reach .INFO domains through
their Web browsers or e-mail. .INFO has been created
under the auspices of ICANN, the non-profit corporation that governs
that management of the Internet's domain name system. ICANN designated
Afilias as the official .INFO registry, responsible
for administrating the .INFO TLD and turning it into
a globally used resource.
.INFO names can contain the English-language letters
A through Z, and the digits 0 through 9. You can also use hyphens, but
hyphens cannot begin or end your domain name.
Spaces and special characters (such as !, $, &, ë, and so on)
are never permitted. The minimum length is 3 characters, and the maximum
length is 63 characters (excluding the "http://www" and ".info"
portions). At this time, .INFO does not support multilingual
domain names in foreign character sets, but it may in the future.
Domain names must be registered for a minimum of two years and up to
a maximum of 10 years.
