New .net

[pascal]

Hello,
Can anybody explain what it is with this new .net? Does it have anything to do with normal .net domains or not?
Thanks.

Nothing to do with .net Domains, regging a new.net name is more like buying a sub Domain, I would avoid the temptation... make like you never heard about them

yeah you ned a pluging to view the domain or your ISP has to support it (and few do ) its a waste of money

Okay, so it's got nothing to do with normal .net domains at all.

Nothing at all, I believe people need to have a special program or something installed on their computer to even view these Domains/Sites, as slip mentioned above, run, run away fast and dont look back

Thanks, I was not planning on buying any, was just curious. I have a few normal .net domains and thought maybe something had changed or was going to change.
Thanks for explaining.

without the plugin your name would look like this ....

pascal.xxx.new.net or whatever ext you use with them

:bingo:

There is a recent article in Duke's "Domain Name Journal" about the folks at "New.net", as well. Little different perspective, but I would not advise registering them either, IMHO.

Actually..this does has something to with the .net tld!

All "new.net" domains are fourth level subdomains of the domain "new.net".

Such as the domain "www.gold.shop" in the new .net namespace is actually http://www.gold.shop.new.net

Any one with the money and marketing could do this with a 2 or 3 letter domain. They did it!

well in the sense that is a .net but thats it . new.net ias not affiliated with ICANN in anyway and if they decide they would like to add a .kids .agent and so on then a new.net holder would be screwed

I would not register it either!

I remember when dotnew.net names first came out i jumped on the bandwagon spending $x,xxx . Today I have none. If i remember correctly they were $25.00 each? I believe most people used vstores at the time, If anyone out there made it I'd like to know. Live and learn. Then again i caused the first collision between ICANN and ARNI with neulevel.biz http://translate.google.com/transla...v=/search?q=dotbiz+rezzino&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8

You can't hit a homerun while sitting on the bench!!
