Does .info Have Any Value

Hello Fellow Warriors,

Newbie question here and I would like to have opinions from fellow warriors all around. Does .info extension have that much value compared to other domain extensions?

I've often see people claiming that .info is kind useless and it would be better to have other extensions rather than a .info. As a newbie, may I know why this is so?

I remembered I came across a site and it was ranking number one on Google for quite a competitive keyword (can't recall what the website is about) but the thing that caught my attention was, this website ends with a .info. If a .info is useless as some people claimed it to be, I don't think this website would be number one on Google in the first place.

Probably, the owner has got some pretty good knowledge of seo for him to be able to boost his website to the top of Google with a .info extension.

Another inquiry of mine is, would a .info domain name be worth flipping if you are able to get those unique domain names?

Recently, I heard about website flipping business but I never thought about going into. A few days ago, I test drive one of my unused website (a Wordpress Blog to be precise) and sell it on Flippa and I managed to flip it for $135 out of nothing.

It may not sound much but I think it's quite profitable for me simply because after setting aside the listing, success and domain fee, I still have a $100 worth of profit and that website is not giving me any source of income. I think I like the nature of it and transferring of data over to the buyer is not as difficult as I initially thought it would be.

Then, I saw people flipping domain names on Flippa. I think that would be a much more simple task simply because no website creation work is involved. Just buy the domain, sell it, and later, change of account, case close. But of course, you ought to have a unique domain name to be able to fetch a good price.

Again, the thing that caught my attention was, this domain is reaching a $10,000 mark and the extension of that domain is .de. But what makes it unique is, it's just a 2 letter domain, je.de. See, it's kind of unique and the extension is a country level domain extension and it is fetching a good price.

Which brings to my inquiry. If, you could find certain unique domain, that ends with a .com and you need to pay like $25,000 on Godaddy just to own, but when in actualilty, you can get that same domain name but just with a .info extension with a price tag of $2 on Godaddy, would that domain name still contains that kind of value if you were to flip it on Flippa?

Please share your opinion on these inquiries of mine and I am looking forward to hearing all your thoughts. Thank you Warriors.
