1and1 hosting is offering free .info domains for one year, it's basically the same deal as the namesecure offer.

1 and 1 is located at www.1and1.com
The full article is from http://www.w3reports.com/?itemid=1262

That's a great offer, but what's the catch, do you have to signup for a hosting plan first, or do you have to register it, get 1 year free and pay for 2 more years...there's always a catch somewhere

As far as I know, there is no catch, but I never signed up. There wasn't a catch with the namesecure deal.

Please note: Free .info domain offer applies to new package orders only. Be sure to order this domain in a new package to qualify for your free .info domain(s).

Yep that's the catch , though it's probably still a good deal, because 1and1 have been around for a while and they seem to be real firm genuine company

And they aren't going anywhere. Anyone who has a PC World subscription (like me!) would know that they like a four page ad in every issue. I also think they have a bunch of ads in other magazines.

I only see this is as just taking advantage of the lower prices that .info is associated with. At namecheap you can get one for, i think, about 2.95..compare that to 8.88 of all other domains
