Agreed.

Also offtopic, are .biz and .info domains used for anything that isn't a scam? Anyone seen a legitimate website hosted at .biz/.info?

Is it just me that has a mental filter "Never click on .biz .info .name"



off the top of my head, http://z80.info/ http://mta.info/ http://beesbuzz.biz/blog/

edit: I still think .info should have been .nfo and been restricted to ANSI art.


My personal website is a .name

I assure you I'm not trying to sell anyone anything, I just couldn't get the .com

I definitely agree with .biz though. Just looking at it invokes a scammy sensation. There are lots of good .info sites though... regular-expressions.info and magiccards.info come to mind.


My personal website was .info

Luckily I've since been able to get a decent .com (and .co.uk)



regular-expressions.info


codecon.info. erica.biz.
