I oftenly wondered if .info domains really have an great importance. In fact, I would say “Yes, they do“. To me, it seems that a good .info domain has even more value than the same .net or .org domain for example.
Why ? Well, of course, people would more easily type .info than .net just because it sounds more familiar and because they expect to find information. Type-ins chances are greater than .net or even . org ! But there is still other reasons. The low rates you can find for example at GoDaddy (2.99$ / year) make it be an easy buy for domainers. Bulk registering is even more interesting when talking about prices !
They are more easy to buy, more easy to sell and have a GREAT End-user sale potential.
So, what is this value ? It is close to .com value ? No, not a chance but 15% to 20% of .com value seems to be a good range of what to expect with generic terms and dictionary words.
And you know what ? There is still plenty of great names still available ! 
As you know, the landrush period for .Asia started today on February 20th 2008.
In fact, all domains registered during this period (that will end on March 12th) will be considered as if they were all registered at the same time. Opened auctions will then start if any domain is registered by more than on person.
Have you registered any ? It is useless to hope to get premium generic terms as there will be a lot of people trying to get these. Maybe everyone should aim for less popular terms or double words names as there will be more chance to get these, even if an auction opens.
A lot of domainers will say that .Asia is a waste of time. Well, looking back at what happened with .eu, it is true that there is not a lot to be excited for. But since Asia market is growing so fast, there sure is a lot of attention to give to asian ccTlds.
I’ve registered 168.asia, hoping no one will think about this one ! Ha ha ! We’ll see…
Oh yes, EuroDns is offering today .Asia registration for 4€ / year ! You will have to use this voucher code : 4asia20 in your customer menu, then go register some !
