    The domain name registry that operates the .CA ccTLD, Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA), announced today that the .CA domain is turning 25 years old. The very first .CA domain name was registered to the University of Prince Edward Island in 1988. Currently there are 1,925,775 domains registered under .CA. It was on this day back in 1987 that the .CA domain extension was officially delegated by Jon Postel, operator of Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), to John Demco at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Demco and a group of volunteers ran the .CA domain registry…

Every new domain registration qualifies for a gift, and the longer the registration term is, the better of a gift you will receive. This isn’t the first promotion of it’s kind. The .Asia registry actually ran a very similar freebie giveaway back in the summer of 2009 on the same website at FreeB.asia which they are bringing back.

    8 May 2012 | 1:26 pm
    ICANN, the organization behind a major expansion of Internet address suffixes is offering full refunds to companies and organizations affected by a weeks-long delay in taking proposals. Each application costs $185,000. Applicants had been allowed to withdraw bids for a partial refund. Now, they can get all of their money back as long as they pull their bids before a deadline that hasn’t yet been determined. Last month, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) abruptly shut down a system for letting companies and organizations propose new suffixes, after it…

    According to SFGate, Hermes International SCA, maker of Birkin handbags and silk scarves, won a judgment that includes $100 million in damages against 34 websites that sold fake copies of its luxury goods. U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in New York ruled the sites, which didn’t defend themselves in court, sold items that infringed upon at least nine Hermes products including Birkin and Kelly handbags, wallets, watches, belts and jewelry.

  • UK insurer first to lose .xxx dispute

    Andrew Allemann
    16 May 2012 | 9:07 am
    Request for .xxx domain name denied. United Kingdom insurance company BGL Group Limited, better known as CompareTheMarket.com, is the first complainant to lose a UDRP for a .xxx domain name. The company filed the complaint against UK resident Jon Watkins, who registered the domain back in December when .xxx became generally available. But as I’ve argued previously, it can be rather difficult to prove bad faith in the registration of a .xxx domain name. Most complainants aren’t in the adult entertainment business. And few .xxx domain names will be parked, which could have result in…

  • Zimbabwe.com seller takes huge loss

    Andrew Allemann
    15 May 2012 | 8:10 pm
    Zimbabwe.com sells for a fraction of what it sold for in 2007. We always hear stories about people who bought domains and flipped them for many times their purchase price. But the opposite also happens. Take the case of Zimbabwe.com, which just sold for $42,500 at Sedo. The last time this domain (reported) sold was in 2007. Purchase price: $130,000. It’s possible the domain also changed hands in 2008. Regardless of if it has changed hands since 2007, the domain took a total haircut of $87,500 during that period. Not pretty. There’s not a whole lot you can do with Zimbabwe.com from…

A few people have asked me over the years, and I had a vague idea, but I couldn’t recall it and didn’t have a record of it. I knew it was registered at Network Solutions sometime around the beginning of 2003, but I didn’t know much else. Thanks to Christie Chute, Manager of Monetization and Aftermarket Sales at Web.com, I was able to find out the first domain name I ever registered. The domain name I purchased on October 31, 2002 was Legal-Aids.com. It appears this name was dropped at some…

This partial information and delay from ICANN is creating consternation and confusion among the many applicants and those watching the new gTLD scene.

  • StocktonGolf.com Lost In A UDRP Based Off A Common Law Trademark To Golfer Dave Stockton

    Michael H. Berkens
    15 May 2012 | 9:53 am
    A one member UDRP panel has just awarded a pretty generic domain name StocktonGolf.com to  StocktonEnterprises, Inc. a company owned and operated by  professional golfer, Dave Stockton, a 10-time PGA Tour winner and a 14-time Champions Tour winner. The panel rejected that the domain represented the city of Stockton and terms related to Golf. The panel found that the ““Stockton” name is, and has been, synonymous with professional golf since at least the early 1970s and awarded the domain to him based off a finding of a common law trademark. The Panel rejected the domain holders…

    In my opinion 2010 will go down in history books as the year when many of the world’s best names were acquired at prices never to be seen again. Why? Since almost all of the key purchases this year have been made by developers and end users. This is vastly different than prior years since if these names ever get sold again they will be sold based on a business value and not just a typical domain valuation. While many domainers were spending time trying to cherry pick dropped names or pay $50k for some name hoping only to find a willing buyer who will pay 200k many brokers, developers and…

The last time there was talk of a MechWarrior movie was back in 2009, when a trusted source told Joystiq that a MechWarrior film was “in development”. At one point in time, MechWarriormovie.com was…

Anyone who visits the website of iPhone5.com today will be greeted by smart phone advertisements and online forums discussing the iPhone 5. Although Apple has been known to open its wallet to acquire domain names, in the past year it has selected to go the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP) route.  And it’s had a lot of success.

    Amazon buys domain names on a regular basis, so it’s no surprise to see the company acquiring the domain name kindlevoice.com. The name recently expired and Amazon’s legal department scooped it up.  While it may be nothing more than a defensive move, it may also signal that Amazon could be closer to releasing its own version of Apple’s Siri. Last November, Amazon purchased the Charlotte voice-to-text startup called Yap, which created a lot of buzz among tech sites that speculated Amazon would eventually release voice recognition technology for its Kindle devices.

Fifteen years along the track, our domain DJ charts the progress of this ground-breaking registry.The .FM domain originated as a ccTLD allocated to the tiny Pacific Island chain of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), a self-governing state formerly under United States stewardship until independence in 1986.

  • The Beauty of the Dollar Domain

    Domain Owl
    7 May 2012 | 4:30 am
    Domainers that skip the auction threads of the popular domain forums do so at their own risk. The beauty of the one dollar domain is that once the normal tricks of developing a website and enhancing content for SEO optimization are ingrained, value builds with the additional of each domain. Because for the experienced domainer webmaster, one additional site is simply a matter of acquiring another single domain and putting it up at their hosting account. Dollar domains can maintain growth in value that results in a portfolio sale or a one time profit opportunity when the topical keyword or…

    No matter whether you’re trying your hand at internet marketing for the first time or you’re setting up a website for your 0% credit cards business, you’ll doubtless reach a point in the process when you or someone else asks ‘what should the domain name be?’. It’s easy to believe that this process should be simple: just take the name of the business, register it, and the job’s done. But it’s not always so clear cut. There are lots of different things to consider when you choose a domain name, one of the most important of which is whether or not…

    Do you have a domain allergy? Domainers who acquire large numbers of domain names and even more vast hosting account resources come down with it all the time. The domainer can decide to put their best domain name on hold, or put their hosting development effort at a standstill at the very moment the site’s topicality hits the news for weeks running. A domain allergy renders a domain owner averse to promoting, marketing or developing a website for their domain name, even some of their best ones. Fixing a domain allergy can take work but the cure must happen! A domain allergy can be triggered…

  • Domain Evaluation

    Domain Owl
    9 Feb 2012 | 5:45 pm
    The criteria for assessing a domain name for purchase, resale, or development are fairly open to all.  The keyword value forms one value. Monetary resale is always a goal. Various sites online work to produce an estimation value, although few can claim to be conclusive. Auction sales for domains work well specifically for this reason. Domains can go to the highest bidder according to independent valuation. While one community of domain name buyers and sellers may quote assorted values from estimation sites, those members are never committed to accept those values as indicative of any…
