.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.
