Q: How or where can you check the web page history of a domain name, and see when it was first registered, even if it has not been continually registered? Where can you see any past web pages that were under any domain name?

A: You can check web page history and when a domain name was first registered at The Internet Wayback Machine; www.web.archive.org

This could boil down to a debate but I will base my answer on a driving around Las Vegas test. It appears .com is definitely #1, .net .info and .us seem to be tied for the #2 spot, .org .biz .tv .gov seem to be tied for way distant third, anything else is way below third place because I can't recall seeing them on billboards or anywhere else.

I have found Dreamweaver to have a steep learning curve.

I use 1st Page 2000 Free HTML Editor to edit templates.

For quick jobs I use XSitePro WYSIWYG web design software.

Hi. I use WordTracker and Overture.

I have noticed that the Ovture Keyword Suggestion Tool is displaying results from January 2007 and right now it is June. Can this make it difficult to cross-check WordTracker results?

Also, I have just registered a three word, 21 character .com domain (adult) with a WordTracker score of:
Count: 385 - Predict: 679

All the other extentions are available. Is this a good way to pick domains? Should I go ahead and get the .net as well?

There is minimal type-in traffic. Would this increase if the property is developed and the name gets branded?

What is so special about domain registration, and why must I pay for it? Why can't I do it myself?

Not sure if anyone has asked this before.

AdoptableDomains

You can become a domain registrar yourself and register at the wholesale cost of normally $6 per domain to each registry. To apply and purchase the software, network bandwidth, and systems to do so would probably cost you at least $50k and more likely $100k+. You would have to buy a LOT of domains to make up that $.95 difference of just buying from a registrar to just break even. That wouldn't even count the ongoing network and staff cost. Even a large registrar pays a major portion of the reg fee to the TLD registry for each registration.

Someone has registered a domain name strikingly similar to a trademark/patent of mine and is blatantly using it to point traffic to my competitors.

Do I have any legal recourse to get the domain from them? If so, how do I go about it?

http://www.namefaqs.com/question/qstId/19.html has been spammed also. I wouldn't have found it if I wasn't going through every single FAQ - they are helpful, thanks

I want to sell a domain name, how i can sell my domain name.

jido

Is that a question for the FAQ or did it really happen?

Aceredbaron

It seems that http://www.namefaqs.com website is having a technical problem.
Does anybody else have trouble using the website??

Ititiiti

I may be missing something here, but what's the benefit in paying boo koo bucks to register a .tv name that will be sold for around a hundred dollars, or less?

GiorgosK

A few questions ? (I certainly don't have the answers I am a newbie)

1. where, when, at what cost does one sell a domain ? usually at an auction ?

1a. how do you evaluate a domain before you buy or before you sell (general ideas) ?

2. what are the costs involved with a transfer of a domain ? are there free transfers ? If the owner stays the same (only domain registrar changes) is that a different kind of transfer (different charges ?)

3. what is the difference between "DNS trasfer" and "Registrar Transfer", are both needed in an actual tranfer ? (costs ?)

4. what is a free push ? do all registrars have it ?

GiorgosK

two more question ...

^^ I still have some 4 questions unanswered right above if anyone cares to give them a try ...

1. bulk registering means that you have to buy the domains (lets say 100) all at the same time ? or could you get preferential prices after lets say you accumulate 100 domains in your account (do companies offer that ?)

2. if you are in the business of buying and selling, its preferable to get some cheap domain reselling account and buy them of your account ? (does that make sense ?)

Some domains have bulk search, but you don't have to buy all. Many registrars offer bulk pricing, but what that means will vary. Some offer discounts with a minimum of funding of the account equal to the purchase of multiple domains, However, they can be purchased each once the account is funded. Most will start giving you discounts once you have enough domains with them, but you have to ask.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=3282
Yes. absolutely. Most reseller accounts probably don't even resell, they are just to get the discount.

Commission at sales sites varies between 10% and 20%, often with minimum charges. Read and study here to see what sells for what prices.

Most registrars don't charge fees to transfer (push) to another person. to transfer to another registrar, you normally just pay another years registration added to the current reg.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=3282

Registrar transfer means you are changing companies who you pay to manage your domain. DNS transfer means you are changing who's DNS servers you are using.
Push is normally free. Virtually all have push in some form or another. Some you just push to another account, others (like godaddy) you handle more like a transfer and enter who is getting the domain and they have to manage the new account creation and accepting the domain.

How long will the transfer take?

This varies from registrar to registrar. Transferring a domain usually take at least 5 to 7 days to complete.

In order to avoid delays of the transfer process, please make sure:
# your domain(s) are not expired.
# your domain(s) are NOT registered or transferred within the last 60 days according to ICANN regulations.
# unlock the domain. If the domain is locked the transfer will fail.
# the email address for the domain adminitrative contact at the current registrar is correct because an approval for transfer are required.
# upon completing the transfer, all contact information are correct.

By far the best place to buy software are computer shows/events. Back in my old development days I once scored the latest versions of VC++ Pro and VB Pro for $40/each. The store prices for these were somewhere north of $500.

PS: mind you these were the legal copies that, once registered, were supported free by Microsoft for a year.

1) For a New Name where one shpuld look for its popularity of the keyword or term. (overture is only from Jan 07)

2) Where one should look (any links) that how much that keyword or words are advertisers bidding for in $$$$ or Cents

3) Any other place where to look if the name or keywords you are thinking of buying....how good they are.



Thanks.

what is domain hijacking? and how the hijacker do that?

Critter

If I use the domain name search feature at a site like GoDaddy or Hostmonster to see if a name I want is available, is there any way because of capturing my search term they will buy it first or someone working there will buy it before I can register it and sell it for more money later? I have often wondered what happens at those sites when I type in a name to see if it is available.

CoolMark

It can and does happen. Registars deny doing it, of course, and some people even suggest that it's ICANN who does it. It's also possible that a name can be registered by another person just by total coincidence, they thought of the name just after you did and they registered it.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=3282

A lot of domainers search to see if domains are available by typing it into their browser's address bar and seeing if there's a site there. If there's not one they can search from a registrar's site when they are ready to register it.

The moral of the story is:

If it's available and you want it, register it immediately, because if you don't someone else might.

Do most domainers purchase a reseller account for the purpose of obtaining the registration discounts for themselves?

nishanthe

But Sometimes..webservers are sensitive to the case of the URL.. (ie. it might not identify Microsoft.com and microsoft.com as the same domain)
