Yes it is a top level, but I believe what you are asking is it a top choice, or am I wrong? As a top choice I would not go that route. I am not saying I am an expert by any means, but I have yet to see anyone show me why it is better to take anything but a .com domain. I have bought a few .net in the past if the name was very good and the .com wasn't available but typically I now just keep on trying to find a good name that I can get the .com domain extension.

The only reason I can think to have any of the other extensions is if you buy them all and keep the .net, .biz, .info or whatever for different purposes. I have bought them all so no one can get them and then put the others on redirect to the .com. But I don't normally do that either.

But that is just one man's opinion and I am sure others may have a different way of looking at it.

  Yes. If it were not a top level, it would be .info/anotherpage.htm

  This isn't quite accurate.
  
  "Top level" is the name to the very right of a domain name:
  .info
  .com
  .org
  .biz
  
  Second level is the first name to the LEFT of the period that begins a TLD:
  yourdomain.com
  
  Next, you have third level domains, which are often called "sub domains":
  
  sub.yourdomain.com
  
  Thanks

  WRONG!!!!!!
  
  If it WERE NOT a TLD, it couldn't be .info/anotherpage.htm
  
  If it WERE, it could be .info/anotherpage.htm
  
  5th.4th.3rd.2nd.tld
  
  So the www would be considered a THIRD level domain. WHY?
  
  TLD(run/controlled by a master registry, such as verisign, and subordinate to NOBODY ELSE)
  2nd(run/controlled by someone that is SUBORDINATE to the TLD.) That is most people here.
  3rd(run/controlled by someone subordinate to the 2nd) That is usually the same as the 2nd, but sometimes a subscriber, etc...
  4th, 5th,6th, etc..... To the best of my knowledge, the only REAL limit is like 60 some odd bytes.
  
  BTW TLDs and 2nd have a special place... The TLD points to the 2nd DNS! The 2nd DNS usually defines all lower levels.

Answer is " Yes" but a .com is always preferable due to the habits of most online surfers automatically putting .com after every domain name so go for .com if it is available.

  Answer = Yes
  
  Question = Why are you asking?
  
  Since I would agree with your other Fellow Warriors that a .com is Always Preferable / Better!
  
  Hope this helps and Have a Great Day!

yes it is.

at present more people are buying it for the reason that aside it is cheap (many registrar having a sale), .com and .net are hard to get.

It seems that a lot of registrars offer .info for dirt cheap in bulk. I was suggest spending the extra few bucks on a .com, unless you're don't something really large-scale.
