First-Come. First-Served Registration for .ME Coming Soon!

Web's Newest Domain Name Extension Set for Open Registration July 17

PODGORICA, Montenegro-- July 01, 2008 --The .ME Registry is about to open domain name registrations on a first-come, first-served basis, and if initial indicators are accurate, the .ME domain names will move quickly. Open Registration officially begins July 17.

The .ME Registry concluded its Landrush Period June 26. The 20-day time span was the first opportunity for the public to apply for .ME domain names. More than 80 different accredited registrars from 24 countries are offering the catchy domain extension.

"In the Landrush already, applicants from around the world will be receiving some excellent domain names such as Click-On.ME, ChatWith.ME and Optimize.ME - illustrating just a few of the catchy names being awarded," said Predrag Lesic, the registry's executive director. "This extension really does lend itself to creative and attractive names whether for business or personal use."

Right now, the official Quiet Period is in effect. During this Quiet Period, the .ME Registry will be making domain awards, and in cases where multiple applications for the same name were received, auctions will be held. To date, through Sunrise and Landrush, the .ME Registry has received more than 30,000 .ME applications.

"This has been one of the quickest, most efficient contract-to-market timelines for any domain name extension," said Lesic. "Open Registration is a prime time to secure your dotME."

Two-year minimums are required on all .ME domain names registered during the Landrush and initial Open Registration periods.

For more information, or to apply to be a .ME Registrar, visit: www.Domain.ME.

About the .ME Registry:

.ME Registry (the d.b.a. of doMEn, d.o.o.) was chosen by the government of Montenegro to operate the new .ME domain name extension. The domain extension will be available to the general public worldwide in mid-July. .ME Registry partners include ME-net, GoDaddy.com and Afilias Limited. Me-Net is located in Montenegro, and its principals have been leaders in the ICT sector in Montenegro, including the privatization of its largest ISP. GoDaddy.com is located in the USA and is the world's largest domain name registrar and the largest paid hostname provider in the world, according to Netcraft Ltd. Afilias Limited is headquartered in Ireland and is a leading registry services provider, supporting more than 13 million domains worldwide.

This.Long-Ugly-Domain-Name-Extension-May-Be-Possible-If-This-Story-Is-True

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:35:00 +0000

ICANN is considering letting everyone choose just about any TLD or domain extension they want. If you can't find the domain name you want, you could register the main name you want, only with an extension that you can choose. If freemoney.com is registered, you could register something like freemoney.now.

What is amazing to me is that just today, before I heard this story, I bought the domain "ThatsNo.com".

Go Daddy Annoying Upsell Onslaught Seen As Effective

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 18:41:00 +0000

Go Daddy Hits Major Milestone - 30 Million Domains!

Economic News Not All "Gloom & Doom" as Go Daddy Shows Web Going Strong

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-- June 26, 2008 --The domain name RulesOfSaving.com marks a historic milestone for The Go Daddy Group, Inc. and the Internet. The new domain name brings the Go Daddy portfolio to an industry record 30 million domain names.

This Internet first reflects thriving conditions on the Web and at GoDaddy.com.

While reports of a wavering economy and surging oil prices dominate the news, Go Daddy's business is booming. Why? More and more people and businesses are moving to establish their own space on the Internet.

Right now, Go Daddy is registering, renewing and transferring names used for Web site addresses to the tune of about one every second of every day. This flies in the face of critics who, years ago, suggested the surge to register domain names was all but over.

Go Daddy is also racking up substantial e-commerce numbers, which align with industry analyst predictions. Forrester Research forecasts online spending in 2008 will increase by 17 percent. Go Daddy expects even higher numbers. The Web leader's Quick Shopping Cart is a key e-commerce tool because it makes setting up an online store easy and affordable. Projections, based on recent months, indicate a 72 percent increase this year over last, in terms of revenue generated by customers with Quick Shopping Cart enabled Web sites.

"These numbers really demonstrate how the Internet is alive and well, even in these rough financial times," said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "We knew from the start... helping make it easy and affordable for people to get online would make a difference. That's why we developed products our customers wanted, priced them right and then backed them up with personal customer service... and, well, the rest is history."

Ironically, the 30 millionth domain name, RulesOfSaving.com, could be viewed as a sign of the times, as far as the struggling U.S. economy or as a nod to Go Daddy's low price points. While many registrars charge more than Go Daddy, some have even raised prices in recent days.

Go Daddy has a 45 percent market share of active, new domain names and is nearly three times the size of its closest competitor. Go Daddy is also one of the world's leading providers when it comes to Web hosting and SSL certificates, which are used to keep online transactions secure.

Go Daddy has expanded its workforce to keep up with its rapid growth too. The Scottsdale-based Web giant now has four offices in Arizona, plus one each in Colorado, Iowa and Washington, D.C.

While many companies are looking for ways to cut back, Go Daddy is hiring more employees. Go Daddy now employs over two thousand people, which is up about 33 percent in fewer than three years. Go Daddy is known as an employer that takes care of its own too, having been honored as one of the Best Places to Work for four consecutive years.

GoDaddy.com has also been honored by various industry organizations and publications as Best Registrar and Best Hosting Company already this year. In 2007, Go Daddy was named Arizona's Most Innovative Company and Business Leader of the Year.

To learn more about how you can get online quickly without spending a lot of money, visit www.GoDaddy.com.

About The Go Daddy Group, Inc.

Go Daddy is a leading provider of services that enable individuals and businesses to establish, maintain and evolve an online presence. Go Daddy provides a variety of domain name registration plans and Web site design and hosting packages, as well as a broad array of on-demand services. These include products such as SSL Certificates, Domains by Proxy private registration, ecommerce Web site hosting, blog templates and blog software, podcast packages and online photo hosting. The Go Daddy Group, Inc. has more than 30 million domain names under management. Go Daddy registers, renews or transfers a domain name every second. GoDaddy.com is the world's No. 1 domain name registrar according to Name Intelligence, Inc. GoDaddy.com is also rated the world's largest hostname provider according to Netcraft Ltd. During 2007, The Go Daddy Group registered more than one-third of all domain names registered in the top six generic top-level domains, or gTLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz and .mobi.

YouTube Wins, Canadian Television and American Girl Lose Domain Name Decisions

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:33:00 +0000

Recent National Arbitration Forum Domain Name Decisions Involve YouTube, Canadian Television and American Girl

MINNEAPOLIS-- June 24, 2008 --The National Arbitration Forum issued decisions on the rights to YouTube.net, CTV.com, and AmericanGirl.net. Conflicts over domain names are on the rise. The dispute resolution provider handled 1,658 domain disputes in 2006, a 21 percent increase from the prior year, and 1,805 disputes in 2007.

The following decisions were made in accordance with the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) by independent and neutral arbitrators on the National Arbitration Forum Panel.

YouTube.net

Complainant Google Inc., owner of the popular video sharing site YouTube.com, filed a complaint on March 11, 2008 against YiWuShi Shuangfeng Jixie Youxian Gongsi of China, the registered owner of YouTube.net.

The National Arbitration Forum Panelist followed traditional UDRP principles in disregarding the functional ".net" generic top-level domain (gTLD) when determining the "YouTube" domain name was identical to Complainant's YOUTUBE trademark. The arbitrator also found that the website at the domain name advertises and displays adult-oriented content. The owner of YouTube.net registered and used the domain name in bad faith based on the fact that it was using Complainant's well-known mark to provide such content. For these reasons, the National Arbitration Forum granted transfer of YouTube.net to Google Inc. on May 5, 2008.

CTV.com

Complainant CTV Inc., a Canadian English language television network, brought a complaint against CTV.com owner Murat Yikilmaz of Turkey, on April 11, 2008.

Complainant has used the CTV mark since 1961 to identify its goods and services, and registered the CTV mark in 1974 with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. A three member Panel found that the domain name was identical to the CTV trademark. The Panel determined that the three letters which constitute the essence of the disputed domain name are generic initials used by many parties to identify many goods and services. The Panel found Respondent to be in the domain name warehousing business, specializing in three character domains. Respondent's use of CTV.com to attract Internet traffic is a legitimate business interest, especially in this case where none of the advertisements are related to Complainant's television operations. Additionally the Panel found CTV Inc. had not proven the domain name was registered or used in bad faith. The majority of the Panel denied Complainant's requested relief on June 10, 2008. Panelist Kerans dissented in the decision, inferring that Respondent likely was aware of CTV Inc.'s business and mark in Canada and the U.S.

AmericanGirl.net

American Girl, LLC, a subsidiary of Mattel that manufactures dolls and books for young girls, submitted a complaint against The Tidewinds Group, Inc on February 25, 2008 seeking transfer of AmericanGirl.net.

The National Arbitration Forum arbitrator found that the domain name was identical to the AMERICAN GIRL trademark, which Complainant had submitted into the record. Further, Respondent used the site to display links to commercial websites, proving no legitimate interest in the disputed domain name. Finally, the Panelist looked at the registration and use of the disputed domain name. It was found that Respondent registered the domain name in 2002, three years before the application filing date for the AMERICAN GIRL mark that Complainant provided. While noting that Complainant provided no evidence that it possessed common law rights or any other trademarks previous to 2005, the National Arbitration Forum Panelist found no bad faith registration or use and denied transfer of AmericanGirl.net to American Girl, LLC on April 16, 2008.

Form Spam Redirection

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 03:41:00 +0000

Form Spam Redirection

You may appreciate what I've done with some spammers that have been hammering the contact forms of one site. I normally block the IPs at the country level and that takes care of most of the problem, and the latest script filters catch most of the rest of it. But this one site was on a Windows server so there was no .htaccess file to set up the blocking.

I was deleting most of the spam so it didn't go to the people that process the forms, but last month the submitted form data got to be 22 MB and it was already 13 MB today.

So my first thought was to just exit the script when it flagged the things I have been looking for. What I was doing was changing the subject line and the email list so only I got it. That way I could check for false positives. But most of the spam was always coming in under the same flag and just being deleted in my Outlook right away, so why not just dump it at the server level and not be bothered?

Well, that was a great idea, but then I realized that I could just dump the script "user", or I could send them somewhere else. www.fbi.gov came to mind, but then I had a better idea: Why not just send them back to where they were coming from? They are using dedicated servers or open proxy servers, so what better place than to make them hit the server they are using to bother everybody? While it may not help anything, there is a chance that the web server operators may see the increased traffic and investigate just what the heck is going on with their server "pining" itself over and over again.

So the script has been modified so that if it is a spammer, they are redirected back to their own IP address. And just now I got the idea that maybe I should change that and send them to 127.0.0.1, which would be the devfault for whatever system they are on.

What I was thinking is that if there is a web site on the server that is being used, it would take them to that default address on the server and not whatever IP they are using. That is, if they go back to their own IP and there is nothing there to access from the outside, the traffic may not be noticed. But if there is a default web site there assigned to 127.0.0.1, then it may register a hit on the web server... Well, I'll leave it like this for now and see how it goes.

EVO Landing Announces Public Launch For Domain Monetization 2.0

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:40:00 +0000

Domain Monetization 2.0 - EVO Landing Announces Public Launch and Series A

Have you ever registered a domain name from GoDaddy or Register.com with the intent on building a website? Chances are that you never found the time or money to actually make that website a reality. A new company out of Seattle is looking to change what you do with your registered domain. EVO Landing ('EVO') has announced the release of its domain development platform, which aims to create value and traffic for your domain while making you money.

Seattle, WA, - January 25 -- (Announced at DomainFEST Hollywood) Have you ever registered a domain name from GoDaddy or Register.com with the intent on building a website? Chances are that you never found the time or money to actually make that website a reality. A new company out of Seattle is looking to change what you do with your registered domain. EVO Landing ('EVO') has announced the release of its domain development platform, which aims to create value and traffic for your domain while making you money.

With the EVO platform, domain owners are now able to instantly create dynamic websites comprised of media-rich, relevant content based on the value of the domain name. Whereas traditional "parked" pages generally rely on transient traffic typed into a browser's URL bar, sites on the EVO platform grow organically as web users can find the sites via search engines, recommend the site to friends, engage with the site's content, and return daily to find fresh content.

"The Internet has evolved, but the domain industry has yet to really make the leap to Web 2.0." says CEO, Geoffrey Nuval, "A domain like Stocktrades.com would be more appropriate as an informational website whereas ChefGrill.com would probably make more sense as a storefront," explains Geoffrey, "To create the depth in content for each module, we have inked special partnerships with various niche sites, including Shopping.com, Epinions, Software.com, Podcast.com, PredictAd, Shareapic, and Wishpot, even more deals are in the works as we expand across the long tail."

Rather than employ a one-size-fits-all template, EVO's modular-based approach enables sites to be directly tailored to a specific domain name.

According to CTO Daniel Rust, "The EVO platform bridges the gap by bringing together advanced integration and analytics technologies and boiling it down into a simple to use system. Our technology semantically analyzes the domain name to determine what type of site it should be, as well as identifies new niche markets to insure optimal monetization and relevance of all the sites."

The Company received initial funding from Seattle angel investors in November 2007 and then closed its Series A round in December 2007 with Monster Venture Partners ('MVP'). "My investment in EVO Landing weighed heavily upon the fact that they were able to prove out the revenue model." says Robert Monster, Managing Director of MVP and Partner at the Internet Real Estate Group ('IREG'), "For my own due diligence, I moved a number of domains from a reputable traditional parking solution onto their system and within forty-five days I saw a 5x increase in traffic and 3x increase in revenues. I have since moved my entire portfolio onto their system."

The Company has already achieved considerable growth during its beta phase. "Within our two and-a-half months in beta, we have grown our network to over 10,000 sites with no two sites alike." says SVP Sales & Strategic Marketing, Mark Michael, "Our admissions analytics system is pretty strict because we want to keep the quality of the websites on our network high - less than 15% of submitted names have been accepted onto the system."

About EVO Landing
EVO Landing ('EVO') is a next-generation domain monetization platform built around its ability to instantly generate topic-relevant, media-rich websites. EVO is a limited liability corporation (LLC) based in Seattle, WA and was founded in October 2007 after months of dedicated research and years of Internet site design and search engine optimization experience.

EVO's proprietary technology is a web-based software and methodology that harnesses the power of the semantic web. Using a modular-based architecture, every site managed through EVO Landing is updated dynamically, daily, and automatically with relevant, rich-media (articles, listings, products, photos, videos, downloads). Domain names can now be truly regarded as online investments as they enjoy the added monetary benefits of multiple ad-network integration, multiple affiliate program integration, and exclusive partnerships.

Consequences of the December 2007 Law on the Domain Name Industry

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 31 May 2008 02:26:00 +0000

EuroDNS Applauds the Consequences of the Law of 21 December 2007 on the Domain Name Industry

A key player in the Domain Name market for more than five years, EuroDNS is proud to operate from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, first European Member State to offer an investor-friendly legal environment for Domain Names.

Luxembourg - January 12, 2008 -- A key player in the Domain Name market for more than five years, EuroDNS is proud to operate from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, first European Member State to offer an investor-friendly legal environment for Domain Names.

According to the Finance and Budget Commission Report on Draft Law 5801, « Revenues generated from use of, or license to use, a Domain Name are exempted from Luxembourg corporate taxes up to 80% ». « This is a tremendous opportunity for domain name investors and e-Commerce, both in Luxembourg and worldwide » comments Xavier Buck, EuroDNS Chief Executive Officer.

The aforementioned law updates a tax law dating back to December 4th 1967. Member of Parliament and Commission Reporter Laurent Mosar characterizes this new Section 4(1) as "particularly relevant" to Domain Names. "To include them in the scope of a Law dedicated to patents and trademarks, clearly demonstrates the Luxembourg Legislator recognizes that Domain Names do form an essential part of Intellectual Property" adds Jean-Christophe Vignes, Executive Vice-President & General Counsel at EuroDNS.

"With over 100M Euros in transactions during 2007, the Domain Name market has never been so attractive" adds Paul Keating, an American Attorney in Europe who specializes in Domain Name valuation and protection for registrars and large portfolio holders. "Already recognized globally as a safe and stable business environment before the new Law, Luxembourg now becomes the perfect platform for the stakeholders of this buoyant industry who desire to make the most of their revenues and plan for value appreciation".

Nu Minnesota

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:20:00 +0000

I just bought a new domain name today. I won it at an auction actually, where I have been getting most of the domains that I buy used / second hand now. I'm proud of this one, although some might question if I should be, it's Minnesota.nu. I don't know what county the .nu ccTLD belongs to and I'm going to have to look that up at some point, but it's easy to make the connection to the word "new".

My plan is to set up this domain as a blog for news about Minnesota. I'm thinking about opening it up so that anyone that has news about Minnesota can publish it on the blog for free and via email. I'm going to have to work out some of the details, but I don't think it will be too hard.

While I'm talking about domains I have mention that I also picked up Bankruptcy.jp a couple of weeks ago, again at an auction. This one was a bit expensive, but I thought it might be worth getting. We'll see how that turns out. The registration on .jp domains is like a number of the ccTLD and that can be expensive. In this case, it's $100 a year.

1,000 Domains

noreply@blogger.com ((hris) — Sat, 03 May 2008 16:09:00 +0000

The title of this blog post cracks me up. Why? Well, for one thing it seems crazy that I now own about 1,000 domain names. The jump from 800 to 1,000 was really quick, which is kinda scary. The other thing is that it reminds me of the movie, "200 Motels". On some level I feel there is a connection, but I'm not sure I can explain it.

When you have a lot of anything there are things that you discover that you couldn't have easily known about. Take cats for example. You get a cat. You decide that cats are a good thing to have, so you get a second cat to keep the first one company while you are at work. The next thing you know, the cats have not just been sleeping all day, but playing little games with your rare insect collection including that rare $4,000 butterfly that your uncle sent from South America. First it was shredded, then half eaten. That would be bad enough, but then the eaten part was returned, in different parts of the house, along with soggy kitty kibble.

But I digress, since what I wanted to share is that unless you read the owner's manual for your cat(s) you will soon find your feline investment will yield unexpected returns. Yes, more cats. If one of your cats has 6 kittens (a conservative number) you now have a nice 300% return on your initial domestic feline investment. In business, this would be a great thing, much like buying a domain name for $5 and selling it for $20. But there are hidden costs and risks with the cat model. The newest additions to your payroll (cat food / cat litter) become hyper mobile once they get their little eyes open. They climb furniture and even window curtains. Ignore them and they climb your legs, shredding skin on their ascent. You'll find yourself wearing long underwear year round for protection from the needle-like claws. Most of your belongings that are not metal or glass begin to depreciate quickly. Then the gang needs things like cat toys, drugs (catnip), and yearly exams and shots. Think you can cut back on some things? You'll realize the folly of that thought the first morning you wake up and see 8 pairs of eyes staring at you from different locations around your bedroom. The silent message is an unmistakable threat.

As you can see, if you are not prepared for your undertaking, it can quickly turn into something less desirable than you first expected.

So too with domain names.

The first couple of hundred are easy. You start with specific domains in mind for your business or a project. Then you buy some domains for some sites that you think would be cool or that may be valuable when the rest of the world catches on to something you think will be big. Or you find some domains on sale. You aren't sure about all of them, but heck, they have 6 months of registration left on them and you can just let them drop when renewal time comes around, if you can't sell them before then. Then you have some extra money so you buy a few more. .cn domains and .in domains are cheap, so despite them being the black sheep (ie. anything that is not .com) of the domaining industry, you put some money into them. Then you buy some domains that are hyphen-infested because you know that while you may not be able to sell them, they will do ok while parked. Then the .info sale comes along and before you know it, you have a portfolio larger than many famous domainers. Sure, they have single domains that make more in one day of parking than your entire portfolio makes all year, but you still have more than them.

So you are cruising along with your great collection of domains and then you realize you have not sold any, you have not optimized your parking pages, and most of your domains aren't earning anything. Yet a year has passed and that cute little $0.99 has now grown up and needs an annual $7.99 rabies shot. In fact, 122 of them need it during the next 30 days. You think, "Oh, I guess I should sell some...", but it's going to take time you don't have, so you just renew them. Then you get a C & D for 6 of your domains that you JUST renewed. 2 of the 6 are ok, kind of infringing, but the other four wouldn't be a problem if the trademarked keywords were removed. But you don't want to fight it, so you just give in and turn them all over to the TM holder...

So when you come this far and understand more about the cost of ownership for domains, you would think just about anyone would realize what's going on and stop what is obviously not healthy behavior, right? Well, then how would you deal with the situation of having reached 1,000 domains and then you just happen upon a deal where you can buy an additional 750 domains for the unreal (but verified) price of $100, AND they have 250+ days of registration left!??! You'd be tempted, right? Well of course you would be. The question is would you be willing to overlook the fact that they are all .cn domains? I mean after all, my initials are CN...!
