What is .info?
.info was added to the root in 2001 as part of the first expansion of generic top-level domains after the original set. It is an unrestricted extension intended for informational sites. It was launched by Afilias, which is now part of Identity Digital.
Who can register it
Open to anyone through ICANN-accredited registrars. There are no residency or documentation requirements.
WHOIS, RDAP and privacy
An RDAP service for .info (rdap.identitydigital.services) is published in the IANA RDAP bootstrap file. OrbitProbe reads registration data from it first, as structured JSON: registrar, creation and expiry dates, EPP status codes and nameservers. For gTLDs, personal contact data has been largely redacted from public output since the rules ICANN introduced in 2018 in response to the GDPR. In most lookups you will see redacted fields or the details of a privacy service instead of a registrant name. OrbitProbe only ever shows the organisation name and country.
