Ok, I know I am late with this question but I neever paid attention to it, and I am just interested in it from the business perspective.

So Dotster not only gave away free .info domains, they even registered for me .info" names that match my .com domains.

Problem is that I am sure I won't renew them, so I will either let them expire, or sell for 5 bucks, or give to a friend.

So why Dotster did this? Did they have to pay for them from their own pocket ( I know that would be a huge bulk deal, but still it would cost them some $$$ ) and now they hope, I will renew them in 1 year, or buy some additional features?

What I am missing here?
