.info -- for information-based services

.info is for information-based services, whether commercial or noncommercial. It is run by Afilias, a consortium of registrars chartered in Ireland but having its offices in Pennsylvania. .info is ideal for informational sites where the type of organization behind them -- commercial, noncommercial, governmental, etc. -- is less important than the fact that it's a site with info about something. It's also useful as a TLD that's chartered explicitly from the outset as a free-for-all to be used by anybody for any purpose -- just what .com is (ab)used as, but it's more open and honest to have a domain that's set up that way explicitly.

.info started live registration on Oct. 1, 2001 -- and then temporarily stopped it for "maintenance" on Oct. 2. Confusion reigned, as the landrush names were supposed to go live on Sept. 27, but were delayed a few days, and some pre-registered names from some registrars never did turn up at all. Registrars took their time at informing the successful landrush registrants that their names were registered, and giving them an interface to add name servers to them so they can be used. Some reserved names got mistakenly registered to people, and then taken away. Sometimes multiple registrars took money for the same name during the so-called "real time" registrations, since the WHOIS server wasn't updating very rapidly. Messages appeared on forums from people accusing Afilias or registrars of "stealing" their domain names due to various cases of their telling people that their names were successfully registered, sometimes even showing them in the WHOIS record, then later awarding the name to somebody else or showing it as a reserved name unavailable to anybody. Afilias certainly didn't give a very good impression of technical competence during this launch, despite their self-congratulatory press releases. After the initial glitches, real-time registrations are now functioning, and the .info WHOIS server is operational. 

A big event for .info speculators, and those interested in actually using good .info names alike, occurred in July, 2002 -- following the conclusion of the sunrise challenges, including the last-resort challenges placed by Afilias themselves, a large number of desirable generic names were freed up for a "Landrush II". Perhaps some of them wound up in the hands of registrants who will actually use them.

.info has already reached the milestone of its millionth registration.
