.info domains

[kappa84]

Sorry if you've talked about this, I used search and didn't find anything.

My question is : what do you think about .info domains? I mean, let's say I want to create a website with learnchinese keywords. Is it better to use .com or .info? Don't you think that for an informative website .info can be enough for trying to develop it? Can a .info website become a visited and useful site?

Thanks for future responses.

ps: learnchinese is an example, I meant a website that contain information on it.

The .info market has come on strong in the last few years. As for development purposes I don't think it matters a great deal what ext you use.

I can see you're logic though, and that's what the .info was created for "information".

A well developed .info domain/site can do just as good as a .com.

Ok, thanks KP, after I register the domain I'll share it's name to see if it was a good choice.

I've always wondered what the obsession is with .com. I can't be the only one who have had sites on .co.uk/.net/.info and recieving an email from a chap who owns the .com wanting an overly inflated amount. Anybody else get them?

All the time. Usually if you do a check on the whois there coming up for renewal or something.

I usually respond with something like "If I want the domain I'll come to you..thanks"

Seems to work well.

It's better to have .com of your site...otherwise you may loose word of mouth marketing as most of user are addicted to try .com first . Inshort it will take long for you to build .info domain ..but some one with .com can duplicate your website and easily get part of traffic from your effort.

I know what you mean NoisyTech, but that's too late because I've already registered the domain and started to build the website.

Really curious though what will become of it.
