They are .99 cents the first time you buy it. then it jumps to 10-15 on renewal. that is the only catch I can see

Hello, I assume you are thinking of the $0.89 price. That is only the price of a new 1-year registration, the renewal cost will probably cost as much as the price of renewing a dot com name. Plus, many people do not prefer using .info as much as the three major gTLDs: com, net, and org.

bcoz it refers to informative and educational site.. so people dont buy it for general related site and its tough to make huge educational sites so less people are intend to go for them. so less domains are sold. so they decrease the value of first year registration to attract peopel...this is what i think

.info domains is mostly for educational sites...which people don`t invest too much money in it. It is supposed to be for small, presentation sites

They're cheap, but I cant think of many popular websites running on a .info domain. Also make sure you turn automatic renewal off after you've bought them otherwise godaddy will charge you $11 for each next year

This domain name extension not so popular as other domain name extensions. That's why it is cheaper

It is cheaper because it is just a strategy. They attract new customers and when renewals come they charge more than others. That's why.

No. NO NO.
The domain name or domain name extension do not affect your SEO and do not improve it.

different generic top-level domains means different things:

.org = organization(It was originally intended for non-profit organizations or organizations of a non-commercial character <so for this domain,the right way would be to have no ads to generate revenue or other commercial entities...usually. ex. wikipedia.org>)

.com = commercialized

.info= exclusively for informational themed sites (so you typically wouldn't have this generic top-level domain for a porn site or the next myspace social networking site, but you could..since it's an unrestricted domain)

.edu = university

.tv = a streamed video or video related site

.net = is for network, indicating its originally intended purpose for organizations involved in networking technologies

.gov = government sites

.etc, etc ......so depending on the generic top-level domain the visitor should know what to look for. esp. as far as credibility...for the most accuracy you'd typically go to .gov probably not so much a .com site..

Incorrect!

.tv is the country code for Tuvalu.
