When you try purchasing a new domain, you may notice that domains end with extension .info are cheaper than domains with other extensions such as .com, .net, .org and so on. You can get it for $2.99/year while others cost about $10.00/year. Isn't .info cheap?
Yes, for the fist year only. If you read carefully, you will notice it stated $2.99/year for limited time! If you want to extend your domain with .info to second year, you will need to pay more for the second year.
GoDaddy: For domain with .info
Limited time price: $2.99/year
Normal successive year price: $11.99/year
NameCheap: For domain with .info
Limited time price: $2.99/year
Normal second year price: $16.39/year
Normal successive year price: $9.68/year
Hence, average price for a domain with .info is $9.68/year (for NameCheap) which is slightly cheaper than a domain with other extensions. .info cheap? Well, think again. If you are planning to have your domain registered for one year only, then it is really a good bargain.
So, why would GoDaddy, NameCheap and other domain name registrars offer a .info domain at such a low price? Simply because, it is less popular, less used and .info is usually associated with informational or educational website or blog.
