Net4India, India‘s leading and the single largest domain name registration company in South Asia, today announced that their customers can now own a dot INFO domain name. .INFO is the first top level domain after .COM, .NET and .ORG in over a decade and will allow classification of information on the the web.
INFO is poised to change the way information will be categorised and will allow companies and individuals to classify information further. It will also give an opportunity for corporates to book domains which may not 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.
Speaking on the occasion Jasjit Sawhney, CEO Net4India said: "Dot 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 domian names booked this year 15 per cent will be .INFO."
Worldwide the anticipated demand for domain names is expected to reach over 40 million by the end of 2001, with sustained growth expected for 2-3 years.
