.info is a generic top‑level domain (gTLD) introduced in 2001 as one of the first extensions created specifically to denote informational content on the web. Because the word “info” is universally understood as short for “information”, the domain is a natural fit for knowledge bases, documentation sites, open‑data portals, educational resources and any project whose primary purpose is to share facts.
Unlike country‑code domains, .info is unrestricted – anyone can register it, and it is not tied to a particular geography or language. Its clear, purpose‑driven branding has made it popular for SEO‑friendly URLs and for memorable shortcuts such as “whois.info” or “privacy.info”.
