Information
on .INFO top-level domain
|
||
|
| .INFO is the Internet's first unrestricted top-level domain since .COM, which began use in 1985. Intuitive, easy to use, and universally recognized, .INFO domain names are your opportunity to reach a worldwide audience with information about you, your ideas, or your organization. |
| Anyone!
There are no restrictions on who may register .INFO names. .INFO was created
for general use around the world. Use your .INFO name for business, personal
use, your organization - whatever you like. Afilias makes no representations as to whether or not a particular domain name infringes upon any trademark or intellectual property rights. |
|
Absolutely. Anyone
anywhere in the world can reach .INFO domains through their Web browsers
or e-mail. |
| You can register .INFO domain names right here at ZID.com or through any Afilias-authorized .INFO registrar. |
| At ZID.com the cost for a domain name .INFO is $29.95 CDN per year. You can choose to pay for 1 to 10 years. This fee cover the use of your domain. The reason that we can offer this price is that we use an ICANN accredited registry to register your domain name. |
| How soon can I start using my domain name? |
| Once the registry has been updated, the information in our database is shared with the Internet's zone files worldwide. This sharing process is called "propagation," because the new information about your domain spreads or propagates across the Internet. The zone files are propagated frequently, every day of the year. We cannot control the rate at which the millions of name servers on the Internet are updated, but generally your domain should be available to Internet users within a very short period. |
| To find out if a name is available - or to find out who registered a particular name - use our handy www.domain-name-canada.com/. This database contains every .INFO domain name in existence. |
| What if I encounter technical difficulty using a .INFO domain name? |
| If you are having trouble
setting up your domain name for use, you will want to call your registrar
or your Internet hosting service, depending on your specific problem. We have seen one case where a site's webmaster had his system check the site's e-commerce transaction page to make sure that the e-mail extension his customers typed was only two or three letters long. This was a well-intentioned attempt to make sure that people were not making typographical errors when entering their e-mail addresses. Checks such as this are obsolete, and are the responsibility of individual sites. If you encounter such a problem while surfing the Internet, please report it in detail to the webmaster of the site in question, with a copy to support@zid.com . |
