Are .Info domains worth it?

[domainaddicted]

Hi
I was just wondering if it's worth it to buy .info domains, are their resale value worth the risk to buy them?

[Ardoris]

Yes, but, only if you know what you are doing

If you want to be safe, stick with one word generic and high ovt.

[qtec1]

yes r good and some have been sold for a nice price

[jimb123]

yes because you can buy them for a cheap price.

I was on the link you gave, and saw the cheap domains. I was wondering why they are so inexpensive to purchase? If you already own some of these, you probably know why.

Actually I've seen the domains, but I haven't seen any site with .info. At least non that I can remember right now. I'm curious is they get a lot of traffic and how much are they really worth... but I guess it all depends on how would you develop it.

Those are some impressive prices, I agree.

I think that this is the first I've heard of info domains, though. Are they fairly new, or have they been around for a while?

[Ardoris]

.info started on late 2000.
About 4 million names are registered by March, 2007
1.6 millions have site on it although I am not sure how much of it are parked domains and/or MFA.

I suppose it depends on what the domain is used for. I haven't seen any .info domains in while doing research for the articles I write, but it might just be the nature of the research.
