Free Domain Names

If you are looking for a great .com domain name for your new site and can`t find any that are available, then you have come to the right place. Most .com domain names have been snatched up already, which makes finding the ideal name for your site difficult. Web users seeking to get that domain name but frustrated by the lack of available .com extensions now have a new, free alternative. For a limited time, 1&1 Internet is offering .info domains at no charge for one year.

The site has long trumpeted out commitment to giving users every resource they need for an optimal Web presence, and this is simply another example of that approach. As less .com domains are available, it is important to give people the flexibility and alternatives they need to still have the Web identity that?s best for them. 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 world?s most valuable brands?including the likes of MTV, BMW, Gap and Coca-Cola?maintain .info addresses. Overall, some 2 million .info domains have been registered worldwide and Gauger said there are still plenty to go around.
