New Search Engine Makes Finding Expired Domains Easier There were over 20 domain names sold in the $10,000 to $50,000 price range last week alone. With domains being sold for this much and originally costing less than $20, it's no wonder so many people are caught up in the domain industry. (PRWEB) May 10, 2005 -- As competition on the Internet intensifies, more and more people are actively looking for a quality domain for their site. With over 30 million dotcoms registered, a good domain is increasingly hard to find. DropListPro.com has developed what is known as an expired domain search engine, which gives users the ability to easily search through millions of expiring domains scheduled to come back on the market. While there are over 20,000 domains being registered each day, most people don't realize that there are also just as many expiring. After a domain expires it may be up to three months before it becomes available. www.DropListPro.com shows when these domains will be coming back on the market and how to acquire them. Chris Richmond, President and Founder of DropListPro.com, has this to say about the new development, “With 20,000 expired domains being added to the pool each day, it may appear easier to find a needle in a haystack than find what you're looking for. That is the reason why we have spent months perfecting the search engine to give users the ability to be precise or as broad as they need to be when searching through this enormous list of expiring domains. For example, if you want a domain that is a .com, less than 10 characters, doesn't contain any numbers or dashes, contains the word car, and will be available this week, no problem.” The techs at DropListPro.com understand that everyone may not be computer savvy. Taking that into consideration, two versions of the search engine have been released, a beginner and advanced version. New features have been added as well, such as exporting saved domains to file and limiting the search to dictionary words. This will make it possible once more for the average user to easily acquire a decent domain without the need of thousands of dollars. A demo of an expired domain name search engine can be found at (http://www.droplistpro.com/domain-search-demo.htm). For additional information or to schedule an interview, contact Chris Richmond at (702) 281-1828 or via email at (http://www.droplistpro.com/contact.php).

Domain scam duo fined AU$2.3m Brad Norrish and Chesley Rafferty conned victims into stumping up non-existent fees under the threat that they risked losing their domain names unless they paid up. The duo used data from domain name registrar Nominet to produce authentic-looking notices that lent credibility to the trick, the Australian reports. Up to 50,000 UK website owners were targeted in the scam. Nominet was forced to take the extreme step of disabling its publicly available database as a result of the scam. Judge Robert French, of a Perth-based Australian Federal Court, ruled that Norrish and Rafferty had flagrantly breached copyright laws and ordered them to pay A$1.3m damages to Nominet plus an estimated A$1m in legal fees. T he ruling brings to an end a two-and-a-half year legal fight by Nominet that began when the UK domain-name registrar sued Norrish and Rafferty in 2003. Nominet wins case against Domain Registry Services Friday 11th February 2005 - Nominet UK has won its legal action against bogus invoicing scam outfit Domain Registry Services after the .uk internet domain name registry took civil action against Peter Francis-Macrae and his company Ultra Technologies Ltd. Francis-Macrae was found liable of copying and using records from Nominet's WHOIS database to send out fraudulent domain name renewal invoices under the name of 'Domain Registry Services'. He was ordered to pay Nominet costs of £81,000, with damages to be determined at a later date at a hearing at Huntingdon Magistrates Court. Nominet also obtained permanent injunctions preventing Francis-Macrae or his companies from causing any damage to Nominet's computer systems, harassing Nominet staff, misusing the .uk WHOIS database or trading under the misleading 'Domain Registry Services' name. He was ordered to provide Nominet with a full set of accounts and a list of names and addresses of customers obtained from the Nominet database. Lsley Cowley, Nominet chief exec, said the case "sends a clear and strong message to those that may be considering similar scams that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated now or in the future". Francis-Macrae remains in custody facing a number of other charges unrelated to the Nominet UK case |
