to say this or that idea is yours, especially if using someone else's service? I just tested one through NetSol's availability search and saw the price is $34.99 a year. That's their normal storefront price, so I'm not sure what's the issue with so-called inflated profit since it's their service to price as they see fit. Another thing I'm not sure is why one would even lookup a domain through them, then try to register it with another registrar instead. Why not look through that ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=415767 registrar anyway since some of you naturally don't agree with NetSol's price? Like I said, I can understand this rather interesting measure in trying to resolve the issue of "domain front running" by domain tasters. If ICANN finally comes up with a solution to this, I'm sure NetSol will drop this completely. | ||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | NetSol's customers are largely businesses -- not exactly the kind of people that are going to run out and register their name at Godaddy so they can save what amounts to less than 8 cents a day.. This is just another one of their lame excuses to further profits... I'd really love to see domainers search enough names through proxies to make this unprofitable for them... I wonder how long they'd run "this service which is in the best interest of their customers" if it was unprofitable ![]() ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=415767

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Registerfly is still in business - living proof that ICANN is toothless. I have been wondering if a taster's servers should crash just before they were supposed to send in the cancelation notices - would they not then be the proud owner of one year's registration of every one of those domains??? |

In fact, I think I will write Mike Fabulous and suggest that they start doing this to make an even playing field for Fabulous customers... Marc

Put another way, there is another very old saying that applies here: "do unto others as you would have others do unto you". A simple lesson that netsol should follow before netsol's competitors, the other registrars, take similar action as self protection. I hope you don't think that I think this is a good situation. I am just saying that the natural consequences of this action would lock up the namespace for good. Put another way, "locking up the namespace is a bad thing". ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=415767 Marc

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I have the list of domains...... It's approx 24 hours old, so all the "new" ones that most of you created (approx 21,438) .... I should have tomorrow.I will tell you this... There are some nice domains in the list, which I could register them all if I wanted to or wait until netsol redrops them as well, which would be a heck of a lot cheaper .... Your not considered a taster, unless you drop them... I would just keep them (the generics)

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I think Netsol just gave us our new "Hot for 2008" domain venture... It's LLLLL.coms... Go register as many decent ones as you can for as cheap as you can. Then just search at Netsol for the rest of them every 4 days, indefinitely tying them up and forcing a market price of at least $35, since thats the minimum price to get them out of lockup. I'll sell mine for $34.98 and I bet people would be more than happy to save a penny and NOT have to have a domain from Netsol |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Lets say all these names you guys are typing in have good traffic after being tested and they keep them. Why throw pearls before swine?. You are giving them some good type in names by making these lists. Those names will not be availble to domainers who try to register them. That is not helping domainers is it?

Until these organizations are formed, things will only get worse. A united front needs to be established/supported to make a difference. It is not about individualism in this industry. Wait till yearly registrations reach extortion levels. It is around the corner. The writing is on the wall, unless we support an unbiased organization collectively. |
