Generic extension (gTLD) for information

Register your .info domain

.info domains for €8.61 the first year, then €40.46 a year. Search below and add as many names as you need.

What is a .info domain?

The .info domain comes from the word "information" and was one of the first generic extensions added after the original ones (.com, .net, .org). ICANN approved it in 2000 and it launched in 2001, making it one of the oldest gTLDs open to the general public. It is unrestricted and well suited to sites that explain, document or inform.

Over the years .info had a mixed reputation, because it was heavily used by spammers during periods of aggressive promotional pricing. Today the registry applies stricter anti-abuse policies, and the extension is used legitimately by institutions, guides, community projects and information pages. As with any domain, trust comes from the content and history of the site.

Tips for choosing a .info name

  • Use .info for genuinely useful content, not empty pages: the extension benefits from real sites
  • Descriptive names work well, for example city-transport.info or car-tax.info
  • If your brand lives on .com, register the .info too, to prevent misleading copycat sites
  • Publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC if you send email, since spam filters can be stricter with newer domains

Questions about .info domains

Does Google treat .info as spam?

No. Google has said publicly that it does not penalise entire extensions. A .info site with original, up to date content and quality links can rank just as well as a .com. What matters is the site itself, not the extension. Just avoid thin pages and copied content.

What kind of site suits .info?

Any site whose main purpose is to inform: guides, documentation, timetables, FAQ pages, community projects or awareness campaigns. Many people also use it as a secondary domain that redirects to the main site, to capture generic searches.

Can I transfer a .info domain later?

The .info domains follow ICANN transfer rules, which involve an authorisation code and a lock period after registration or a change of registrant. The page shows whether transfer to us is available and under which terms, and after the transfer you manage DNS for free from the same account.

Can I launch an information site quickly?

Yes. Add a cloud server with WordPress installed in one click, connect the domain through the DNS editor and start publishing. For a guide or knowledge base, WordPress with a simple, fast theme is enough to get started.

How much does a .info domain cost?

Registering a .info domain costs €8.61 for the first year and €40.46 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.

For how long can I register a .info domain?

You can register a .info domain for 1 to 10 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.

Can I transfer my .info domain to cloudlinux.ro?

Yes. Transferring a .info domain costs €28.28 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.

Can I host a website on my .info domain with you?

Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .info domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
