What is the purpose of the .info domain?
The .info domain is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) primarily intended for informational websites. It was introduced in 2001 and is open for registration to any individual or organization. The .info domain is suitable for websites focused on providing information, resources, or educational content.
How can I register a .info domain?
To register a .info domain, follow the same process as for a .com domain. Visit a domain registrar website such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains, search for your desired domain name with the .info extension, and if it is available, follow the steps provided by the registrar to purchase and register the domain. Domain registration typically requires annual renewal.
How does a .info domain impact SEO?
A .info domain does not directly affect your website's search engine rankings. Search engines primarily focus on factors such as content quality, backlinks, and technical SEO to determine rankings. However, a .info domain might be perceived as more informative and resource-oriented by users. As long as you provide high-quality content, optimize your website for SEO, and build a strong backlink profile, your .info domain should perform well in search engine results.
Can I transfer my .info domain to a different registrar?
Yes, you can transfer your .info domain from one registrar to another, similar to a .com domain transfer. Unlock the domain with your current registrar, obtain an authorization code, and initiate the transfer with the new registrar. There may be transfer fees involved, and ICANN requires a 60-day waiting period between domain transfers.
What are some alternatives to the .info domain?
There are various alternative TLDs available for domain registration, depending on your website's purpose and target audience. Some popular alternatives include:
.com (the most widely used TLD for various types of websites)
.net (originally intended for network-oriented websites)
.org (typically used by non-profit organizations)
.biz (for businesses)
.io (popular among tech and startup companies)
Country code TLDs (ccTLDs) like .us, .co.uk, or .de, which target specific geographical regions
Choose a TLD that aligns with your website's purpose, target audience, and brand to create a strong online presence.
We highly recommend not to purchase the cheapest hosting package. Usually, they come with a row of issues: the server is often down, the hardware is outdated, lousy and slow support, registration and payment errors, etc.
For your convenience, we have created a tool that can help you to choose the right hosting package for you just by answering a few simple questions.
CMS is a content management system. A lot of hosting providers offer so-called CMS optimized packages. However, this is a marketing trick because most CMSs do not have special software or hosting requirements.
Trial period is a period of time, usually from 7 to 30 days, during which you can use the hosting services for free to test them.
Moneyback policy allows the customer to receive a refund for his order within a certain period after the purchase.
OS means the operating system is installed on the server. We recommend to choose Linux hosting unless your website requires another OS.
Bulletproof hosting - it’s a type of service that allows to host almost any type of content, even the restricted one (adult content, warez, spam etc). Bulletproof hosting providers do not remove your content in case someone reports an abuse.
Unlimited hosting - refers to companies that provide packages with unlimited disk space, bandwidth, number of domains, databases or email accounts, etc. This is usually a marketing trick but sometimes you can find something worth a try.
Secure hosting - it’s a type of service when the hosting provider is mostly responsible for the security of the user’s account: updates the software installed on their servers, provides an antivirus and malware scanner, firewalls and basic anti-DDoS protection, etc.
DDoS-protected hosting - companies that provide packages that include anti-DDoS protection. These packages are considerably more expensive than regular ones. Nevertheless, they’re totally worth their price because the company will ensure that your website is secured from cyber attacks.
Most websites require MySQL and PHP installed on the server to work correctly. Almost all hosting providers support these technologies.
ASP.NET is a Microsoft web application development platform.
The more comfortable the control panel is, the easier will it be for you to change the website and hosting account settings.
Most hosting providers that are in TOP20 in our rating offer user-friendly control panels, such as cPanel, Plesk or DirectAdmin. That’s why we recommend to pay attention to other, more important parameters, while choosing a hosting provider.
