May 17, 2002 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — European domain name registrar and Web hosting firm 1&1 Internet (Oneandone.co.uk) said today it would bundle free .info registrations with every domain name and Web hosting sale made in June and July, in a bid to boost uptake of the .info domain in the United Kingdom.
1&1 also said it is hoping .info registrations will be boosted by the announcement that Afilias, a consortium of 19 ICANN-accredited registrars responsible for managing the .info domain, will be releasing more than 17,000 premium .info addresses because they were obtained using the wrong copyright information.
