A premium 10 day .info domain name auction just got underway at Godaddy.com
All of the domains start at $100 bidding and include some nice one word .info domains including:
bank.info
doctor.info
finance.info
legal.info
tax.info
broadway.info
cancer.info
airline.info
City.info
You can see all the 106 .info domain in this special auction here
Where did these premium .info’s come from?
It looks like they are reallocating previous sunrise domains that failed on Affilias’ recent validation exercise. The WHOIS on bank.info shows:
Domain Name:BANK.INFO

That’s my take……
These are not recent. These domains are pending since 2001:
