Hello, I am selling both my domain registration company and my web hosting company. Both are established and have existing customers. The web host is www.SouthernHosting.com. The registrar is www.BottomDollarDomains.com. Any interested parties should check out...

I think that having a hyphen in your domain name isn't that bad most of the time. One of the times when it would not be too wise would be if you were planning on running an ad campaign (Tv, radio, etc) and expected people to remember your domain name. Chances are the person seeing/hearing...

I've heard of registrars being purchased by other ones, but I haven't heard of one just shutting the doors and turning off the lights (or the webserver, i guess!). Yes, ICANN accreditation is expensive and quite a hassle. I'm sure there is a clause in the contract with ICANN as to what to do...

About the registrar shutting down: If the registrar you used is a reseller for someone else (Enom, OpenSRS, etc) then you have nothing to worry about. However, if the registrar is running their own operation, then you could run into some problems. For instance, if you are using their...

I just checked them out, and noticed that if you view the source of the web page, it all points to registryrocket.com. When I examined the domain registration page, I noticed that by default a box was checked that said: "Do not allow this name to be transferred to another registrar...

President Bush may not be the most well spoken President ever, but he is one thing that Clinton wasn't - HONEST. The man does have common sense. Anyone that has researched him at all knows that he is a good, honest man. At least all the scandals are done. --Patrick

Even though the poll is titled "Future Politicians", all of the above apply to future, past, and present politicians! :cool: --Patrick

I've read every reply to this thread, and realize that I am the elder so far! The bad thing is, I'm *ONLY* 25. You young pups make me feel old! Surely there are some people over 25 around here...

In an Internet advertising market where CPM rates for banner ads have REALLY died (now around 50 cents CPM for a good program) popups are looking better and better. Most popup rates are around $3 CPM, but I've seen some as high as $10 CPM in recent days. Web publishers are hoping that the...

Hi, I added a couple of questions and answers to the FAQ back on Tuesday, and clarified a couple as well. I guess in my haste I pasted the "new" answer without deleting the "old" one. I deleted one of those just now - the one with the gramatically horrible "double negative" with "no" and...

SirArthur, I just sent you a pretty detailed email - hopefully it will answer most of your questions about name servers and hosting. Thanks!

Hi, The domain manager is the exact same as any other OpenSRS RSP. I just visited their site to make sure of this - I thought maybe they had added something I didn't know about. :D As stated before, once you register with ANY OpenSRS RSP, you can manage your domain at any other...

People brag about 000Domains.com because they have been in the domain registration business for quite some time and have developed quite a reputation as being very professional and focused on customer service. Before starting my own service, I used them to register quite a few of my own...

Really, there's not much of a difference, other than the obvious price. The "bells and whistles" that are added on by registrars are ususally provided by your web host - email accounts, mx records, etc. - and are certainly not worth an extra $20-$25! Whether you pay $35 or much less...

Hi, There is nothing "unusual" about the "condition" of your domain as they state. They simply extended the registration period under the assumption that you would go ahead and pay up for another year. Namezero finally realized that people will let the domain name expire and then grab it...
