It’s fantastic when big organisations talk about domain names! The BBC has the article in the main section of their news today about the forthcoming changes to allow IDNs in non-latin script. Instead of using ‘domain names’ in the title, to help those unfamiliar with the domains and our industry, they use the term ‘internet addresses’. One step at a time.
If interested, you can read the article here.
In recent weeks there’s been an abundance of complaints on the two main domain forums, NamePros and DNForum, about the performance of Moniker. Moniker is reputed to be safest registrar, with claims that they have never had a domain successfully stolen. Certainly their account security measures are reassuring and their domain registration and renewal prices not unreasonable. But what about charging people extra simply because they are uninformed or because they do not know the right people? That’s the case with Moniker’s domain forwarding. People without approved accounts are charged $6 to forward a url! That is pretty unscrupulous considering one email to the right person, account upgraded, and fee waived.
Thank you to Serge Saporta for completing the purchase of PokerTournois.com from Nomzo. ‘Poker Tournois’ translates from French to English as ‘Poker Tournaments’. Complimenting their exisiting poker websites, PokerTournois.com will open new avenues to a greater global audience for this ambitious enterprise.
Just a heads up that Sedo’s 1 and 2 character .de auctions are ending today. From my understanding, being the winning bidder does not guarantee you will become the owner of the domain. Ownership depends on one of Sedo’s partners securing the domain.
Thank you and congratulations to Ron Giles of Zeald.com on the recent purchase of website-consultant.com from Nomzo. A solid long-tailed keyword domain, where the hyphen improves and clarifies the brand name.
