NEW DELHI: net4India, an Indian domain name registration company has
announced that their customers can now own a .INFO domain name. .INFO is the
first top-level domain after .COM, .NET and .ORG in over a decade and will allow

have been available with a .com, .net or .org extension and use it to build
their online presence. .INFO is available to corporates and individual's on a
"first come first serve" basis. The other six high-level domains
announced are .biz, .name, .co-op, .pro, .museum and .aero.

".INFO is truly an opportunity to reach the world wide audience for the
next phase of Internet's evolution". It will help in bringing an element of
classification on the Internet making it easier for customers to access
information. "We expect that out of the two lakh domain names booked this
year 15 will be .INFO" he said.
.INFO can be booked for a period of two years. The booking can be done by
going to www.net4domains.com and
