Since when is .com cheaper than .info? I've always thought .com was generally the most expensive TLD.

Lol not even close.

It's not the cheapest, sure, but there are a lot that are a lot more expensive, like .io or .shop

It gets expensive if you want a domain name that someone already owns, that gets unreasonably expensive quickly, and I could rant for half an hour about why domain squatting (aka buying domains for regular 20-40$ per year from the registrar, only to sit on it so if someone else wants it they need to buy it from you) is shit and should be outlawed.

I remember having made a simple site for a small business I worked for. Told them to remember paying the annual 18$ bill for their domain name. Cue two years later and they forgot, the domain was taken by some squatters. They were asking for 1000$ annually for the domain name !

I told them not to pay and of course the name was available a year later at the same original price of 18$ a year. They never forgot after.
