Afilias is the registry operator for the .INFO top-level domain (TLD). As such, Afilias accepts domain name registrations from a number of domain name registrars. Afilias does not accept domain name registrations directly from registrants. Please note that each registrar has its own policies and procedures.

If you have any questions about a particular domain-name registration, you should begin by contacting the registrant and registrar of record. Except for certain extraordinary circumstances, Afilias alters a record in the registry only at the request of the relevant and authorized registrar. For information about domain name dispute procedures, please see the relevant documents at http://www.afilias.info.
