In case you don't already know,

.info domain are getting cheaper and cheaper. Some of the registrars are even offerring them free for one year. I got some of my .info domain from domainsite.com for free. But appearently they are charging 0.99$ for one year now.

You can get them for free from www.domaindiscount24.com till the end of the month

I think there was a hidden fee: a setup fee to link to your site. So it's not totally 'free'

I think they are doing that as a part of ".info" promotion campaign.
I've registered one today, but actually that isn't working quite well, because it doesn't redirect users to my real site with another domain...

If you got a succesful site configured to the address you likely want to keep the domain for more than a year. And after a year you'll have to start paying for it.

Yeah well, I didn't want to pay for it after a year, so I registered for a .tk domain:

www.dot.tk

It's not my problem ! I've redirected all the info domain provided by domainsdiscount24.com well. Try it: http://media.go2viet.info.

There is a different b/w dot.tk and .info domain. The dot.tk is merely a redirecting domain provider., while domaindiscount24.com offers the real DNS service for free. This means that if you have the host but don't know where to put it in, domaindiscount24.com is the best choice.

What's the difference between redirecting domain provider and the real DNS service? Does the former can only be supported by the provider such as dot.tk, and could not be moved to other place and the real DNS could be placed at any place?
