Can you get or set up custom name servers for or with a .info domain?

Hello!
Could you please explain what is needed to be done?
That is quite difficult to understand what do you need

Like im trying to say, you know how a .com can have nameservers like ns1.hostingdiscussion.com
Now if this domain was only a .info could it be ns1.hostingdiscussion.info?

I wouldn't see why not. I've never done it before, but looking in one of my control panels with a domain registrar the option is there to do it.

Who is your domain registered through? Have you contacted them regarding setting up custom nameservers?

Yes, you can use a .info domain just like you would use a dot-com.

I don't see a problem with it. May want to direct the question at GoDaddy to see if they have restrictions on it.

In the future, you may not want to disclose a domain name you are thinking of or planning to register.

Yes, there are people out there that will take your domain from you.

Did I miss the post where he revealed the domain name? Sorry I am a bit tired today...

hmm.. didn't see a domain name exposure on the postings - did I miss it? I saw the poster use "ns1.hostingdiscussion.com" or "ns1.hostingdiscussion.info" as example domains.

Ahhh.. I see it - it's in the signature! Yeah, promoting or even mentioning a domain name prior to having it in your hands is not smart. Pay the $10 even if you don't end up using the domain name.

Oh yeah, right.
That's what I like Marc (a.k.a. webfreak08) for. He sees everything.

EDIT: Seems like he is too fast as well. Now that the domain is public, we edited the signature at the same time to protect the member.

@ IkY0294: I agree with the rest: do not reveal any domains until you register them - there are lots of people out there who would jump on the opportunity to sell it back to you for a lot more cash.

Yeah, also contact godaddy about the .info question and let us know how it turns out.
