One of these updates is a paper by ICANN's "auction design consultant PowerAuctions LLC". The document makes a case for an auction to be held for the "resolution of contention among competing new gTLD applicants for identical or similar strings." Publ.Date : Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:14:38 GMT
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Martin Heller directs attention to ongoing investigations of more than 40 phantom registrars linked to The Directi Group, including PDR, one of the 10 worst offenders on the Net. According to KnujOn, an additional 19,000 domains advertised through spam have been hiding their ownership behind PrivacyProtect.org, which The Washington Post has outed as Directi-owned. ...

VeriSign is in many ways synonymous with managing the Web, thanks to its handling of key DNS root servers and of name resolution for .com, .net, and other domains. In recent years, it's had both strong ups and strong downs. Publ.Date : Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:00:00 GMT
VeriSign is in many ways synonymous with managing the Web, thanks to its handling of key DNS root servers and of name resolution for .com, .net, and other domains. In recent years, it's had both strong ups and strong downs. On the up side, VeriSign has aggressively pushed PKI, SSL/TLS, EV, and digital certificates, making these authenticated security approaches commonplace. And VeriSign ...

Two new reports investigate the flood of malware the Internet carries on a daily basis, but instead of focusing on security vendors, they focus on ISPs, registrars, and domain hosts themselves. ICANN does virtually nothing to police such entities, and this contributes substantially to the current state of malware today. Read More... Publ.Date : Thu, 04 Sep 2008 23:27:42 GMT
I was expecting something that would discuss the unique properties, if any, of the domain name market, and the types of inventory theoretically available to allocate, and the expected outcomes for the various types of auctions, and some showing that for some desired policy goals, whether greatest gain to seller or lowest loss to buyer, or something entirely different, the expected outcomes.

I was surprised by ICANN's "Economic Case for Auctions in New gTLDs" paper especially with view to the latest presentation on the new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) implementation process in Paris. Publ.Date : Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:04:51 GMT
With the number of scammers who try to usurp ownership of domain increasing (I got 2 letters for 3 domains last week), it's a surprise that few people really take advantage of private registration for their domain names. However, many people don't know about WhoisGuard or Domains By Proxy and instead leave their domain names exposed with all identifying information intact. It's no wonder I ...

It highly concerns me when domain registries controlling a certain Top-Level Domain (TLD) raise the wholesale prices they charge to registrars (domain retailers) without consultation to domain registrants (domain buyers). Publ.Date : Fri, 05 Sep 2008 17:36:51 GMT

Tips
Web Hosting-The Essential
Guide For Beginners Parts By
Moses Francis
Web hosting is a seemingly complex topic
that small business owners can sometimes
feel confounded by. When the techie on a message board
offhandedly mentions IP addresses, domain names, and the
type of hosting plan your business needs, you might be
ready to head for the hills! Don't be
overburdened by the unfamiliar jargon. It's
really very simple. Before you get any type of web
hosting plan, you need to register a domain name. You can
create an account at one of the accredited domain
registrars like StarrTrack.com.
Next, use their search
box to see if the domain you want is already taken by someone
else, or is still available. Most generic domain names,
i.e., dictionary words and names are already taken. However,
just because someone has registered the .com version of a
popular name, does not mean that you can not get the
same name without the .com. For instance, you might be able to
get laptops.org or laptops.cc. When you run a search for
laptops, it will tell you what extensions are available, e.g.,
.com, .net, .org, .cc, .ws, .name, etc. Each have different
technical meanings, but you can use them interchangeably, at
least for now. A .com is a company, a .org is an organization,
and a .ws represents website,
etc. Ok, so you've had to combine a few words or
maybe even create a brand new word to find a good domain,
now what? Now, you need a web hosting plan. In
order to serve content on the internet, you have to
upload that content. However, you have to upload it to
someone else's server. A server is just like a
computer, located remotely, that serves other computers
in the network. If you're confused, don't worry,
just hear me out. Each server has a unique IP address,
just like your computer you have at home. That's how
computers are identified on the internet. Domain names
make it possible to identify computers, or IP addresses,
as distinct alphabetical addresses that make sharing and
communicating the websites you find easier. Stay
