Frequently asked questions about .info domains
What are .info domains used for?
The .info domain extension was created in 2001, and was originally an extension designed for informational websites. Today, .info domains are used for any type of website, since their registration does not have any type of restriction or special requirement. The body in charge of regulating this extension is ICANN, which has delegated its management to Afilias. If you are going to create a news or informative website on any subject, we recommend this extension.
DNS update in .info domains
The DNS of a .info domain can be modified at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. At Webempresa we provide you with a control panel where you can check the DNS assigned to the domain and also modify them. The DNS change takes effect immediately on the domain, but must propagate throughout the network. This propagation can take 6-12 hours to complete, typically.
Change of Whois data in .info domains
The whois data of all the domain contacts (owner, administrative, technical, billing) can be changed at any time at the provider where the domain is managed. If the name, surname, organization, identity document or email account is updated in the data of the owner contact, a process of change of domain owner will begin, which must be accepted by both the current owner contact and the new one to make it effective. If the data of the holder is changed, the domain cannot be transferred to another provider in the 60 days following the change.
Is it advisable to use .info domains with ñ?
We advise against adding a special symbol that is typical of the language (ñ, ç or an accent), since these are domains called IDN or Internationalized Domain Names. The reason is that they cause problems when managing email accounts, among other things. For example, known mail managers (Windows Mail, Gmail, Hotmail or Outlook) do not successfully send or receive messages for this type of domain. What you can do is register them to protect your brand and redirect them to the domain that you finally use for your website and your mail.
Are there .info domains that are reserved or that cannot be registered?
Although there are no reserved names when registering a .info domain, we recommend that you do not include trademarks or registered names since the owner could sue you and claim the domain.
Can I assign my company data in Whois contacts to the .infodomain?
Yes, you can assign both company and individual data to any whois contact in the .info domain.
