| No Comments

verisign-logo.jpg According to The VeriSign Domain Name Industry Brief, February 2010, the number of .com domains registered has grown to over 80 million over the last 25 years.  At the same time, the average daily DNS query volume is now more than 52 billion queries per day.

3D movies have become popular again with the release of Avatar and it is safe to say that 3D technology will improve over a very short period of time. Many more movies are set to be released in 3D and we have the ability to watch television in 3D; even YouTube supports 3D videos now. But as technology evolves, you have to ask: Is it worth registering 3D domain names?

When registering domain names you have to keep in mind how fast technology is evolving and how far ahead of the craze you will need to be, as an example 3dtv.com was created 14 years ago. Someone had a lot of foresight 14 years ago...

The .xxx Extension

| No Comments
.xxx.gifThe ICM registry has won an appeal for an independent review of the .xxx extension.

The proposed TLD .xxx is suggested as an option for sexually explicit Internet websites. .xxx would be suitable for adult material, similar to .edu for education and .gov for government bodies.

The .xxx would be suitable for adult material, similar to .edu for education and .gov for government bodies. The appeal has caused controversy for both those for and against the introduction of the TLD.

The idea of .xxx would be to implement a way for those who wish to provide access to pornographic nature on the web and also make it easier for those who don't wish to view explicit material to block the websites. This would also make it easier for search engines to block .xxx websites.

The untold story how domain conflicts can severely impact your parking revenues.

 

If you are an active domainer and you buy, sell, trade, register, drop, taste domains, then you are surely being affected by domain ownership conflicts at the various parking companies.

 

These are the known issues:

 

Anyone can add a list of domains to a parking account and state that they own these names. Parking companies then have to decide who the current and real owner is. And no, doing a whois search does not help here, that is not in most cases... as like most domainers, whois privacy is more and more common, and fake or offshore entities are even more common for domainers that wish to remain unknown, just in case they have a TM based domain that they know or do not know they own.

 

But I digress... so what actually happens when you have 2 parking accounts both claiming ownership of the same domain? Who get the traffic and earnings allocated to their account?  Do you know? Do you even know where to find in your account any reported domain conflicts?

Sex.com up for sale. Again.

| No Comments
When sex.com sold for a reported, but never confirmed, $14million back in 2006, everyone thought it was the end of a (very) long story.
After all this domain history is so complex that even a book has been written on it!
It looks like the story is not complete yet.
