When In Doubt Register a .INFO
I am in the process of creating a list of rules to follow while working on my domaining projects. One of the rules which actually applied to me today was “When In Doubt Register A Dot-INFO.” While searching for an extension to register my complete name in, I ran across several other extension which looked tempting. The extensions I ran into were Dot-IN, Dot-CC, Dot-WS and of course Dot-INFO. I have tried to contact the owners of JasonThompson.net and .org but none of the owners responded to my emails, which is there lost because I would of paid $x,xxx for my name in these extensions. Out of respect for JasonThompson.com I have my own reasons why I felt it wasn’t right to contact the owners. Since I was left with a number of extensions to choose from and the Dot-INFO of my name actually became available recently, I decided to register it. This was definitely a great acquisition because I only had to spend $1.07 through GoDaddy on a name which represents me as a brand in an extension that I actually respect. In addition to that I can market the future site by saying if you would like to learn more information about me, simply visit JasonThompson.info and you will be able to read my daily thoughts and activities. I plan to develop the site into a blog where people can actually get to know me, my family and friends on a personal basis. The site will also cover some of my business based activities and start to establish me as a brand that people can count on. My goal is to help people reach there goals and create situations that benefit the both of us. I don’t want to sound like a “Life Coach” but it is definitely something that I am good at and I can’t say that I won’t visit that arena sometime in the future.
To sum it up, if you find yourself in a weird situation while searching for a given keyword or term in a number of different extensions. Think about the rule! It will only cost you just over a dollar for that Dot-INFO. You can then either choose to register other extensions at a later date or develop the Dot-INFO you registered.
