This offer will allow more small businesses and individuals alike to make their distinct mark on the Internet."
According to recent studies, Web users are increasingly gravitating to .info domains as a viable addition or alternative to .com addresses. One report stated that nearly 70 percent of the worlds most valuable brandsincluding the likes of MTV, BMW, Gap and Coca-Colamaintain .info addresses.
