.com vs .info
The .info extension was one of the first new gTLDs in 2001, positioned for informational content. While it has 3M+ domains, it has been associated with lower-quality sites and spam, making .com the safer choice for serious projects.
Choose .com for virtually any business or project. Choose .info only if you are building a purely informational resource and your audience is not price-sensitive about domain perception.
