About .info
.info was the first unrestricted gTLD added after the original 1985 set, introduced in ICANN's 2001 round of new top-level domains. It was originally operated by Afilias, which merged with Donuts in 2020 to form Identity Digital.
The promise was a general-purpose generic that anyone could register for any informational use. The reality was mixed: aggressive promotional pricing in the early years filled the namespace with parked and low-quality sites, and the TLD acquired a spam-adjacent reputation that newer entries like .info-heavy registrars worked to clean up over the next decade.
Pricing is generally lower than .com and .net, which keeps .info a budget-conscious choice for secondary registrations and protective brand defensives.
