As all we know, the Web is advancing to huge steps at present. And not to cut with this evolution, the companies in charge of the maintenance and the promotion of the cloud must be up-to-date with the clients, presenting/displaying ideas and innovations for the same continuously. Days back, the ICANN (for Internet Corporation Assigned Yams and Numbers) the organism in charge to govern the domains in Internet, announced the putting in scene of a as unusual project as innovating.

The company behind the control of names of the Web announced the creation of new corporative domains, that is to say will be able to register domains of commercial activities (.JOBS, .BANK, .MUSEUM) or trade names (.FORD, .HP, .APPLE). The decision I ratify the 26 of June of 2008, with 13 votes to favor, 2 abstentions and 1 against, and the interested ones can make their requests from the 12 of January to the 12 of April of 2012.

The requests will be subject to approval, the cost of a request will be of 190 thousand dollars and, in case of being confirmed the annual maintenance it will be of 25 thousand dollars. One does not know surely if this change will be a success in the world, but it is possible to be affirmed that it will turn out strange to see directions without the habitual extensions.

Godaddy recently increased prices of domain registrations, up to $20 for a .US , $13 for a .ORG . We cannot stand paying that price for it, but i have a nice coupon code to lower it down:

godaddy code: gdp0824t

you get a .net .org .us for $8.69

you think it’s still too high ? go to Moniker.com for a .net at $6.04 ! yes this is what i pay (+ icann small fees)

good luck !

 

Today a new very nice Godaddy coupon discount code to get your name registration even cheaper:
only $7.05 for a .COM !

coupon code: goxt2005z

enjoy !

 

A friend from namepros.com forum created 2 months ago a nice site aimed to domainers. BQB.com is the first site of its kind, it is made by domainers and for domainers, it’s basically an auction place where transactions are made for free but still in a high level of security. Check it it out:

I received an email from ICANNRESOLVE.com that appears and is a scam, they ask for your personal info about some domain names you registred, do not reply or follow the link they are giving.

Here’s the email:

Dear Domain Account Holder,

You are being sent this notice from ICANN due to the fact that you
currently own an active domain name. ICANN is currently upgrading all
domains from their registry database.

The upgrade will introduce new control options for your domain and easier
access. The new upgrade is required by the registry. All domain users are
expected to submit their domain information manually at
http://www.icannresolve.com/email/l…428&N=5&L=1&F=T with the
required information for ICANN to apply the required updates.

The upgrades will be applied to accounts on a first come, first serve
basis. You have until July 25, 2008 to submit the required information to
avoid service and domain interruption.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

ICANNResolve

A fellow member of a famous board is giving reasons why LL-L.com and L-LL.com are the best investment today:

1. There is less than a third of each one of these domains still available to register.
2. L-LL and LL-L searches each return more Google results than LLL and L-L-L searches (try it)
3. Having the hyphen does not negatively affect search rankings
4. Premiums and words of these can be purchased on the aftermarket for $10-50
5. In terms of functionality, these shouldn’t be that much less desirable than an LLLL.com

Because of those reasons, these things are selling fast.
The only problem for the buyout is that there is really no need or desire for Q-XV.com or XV-Q.com; however, because of the scarcity of them dropping, these are bound to get regged up soon.
Let’s get these things sold out!

 

So, it’s been 2 months that 4 letters .com are stucked at the same prices. When they will rise again, all LLLL.coms defensors predicted a quick and constant move up, but it appears it’s not here. I personally stay confident that it will grow again but the market needs to breath a little, before taking the move up again, particularly with the new boyouts of last weeks: L-L-L.coms, L-LL.com and LL-L.com and premium LLLL.nets.

 

Ever been afraid of a name you registred that is trademarked? It’s a good idea to do a trademark search even before you register your domain name, since domain registrars are not obligated to check if a requested name violates an existing trademark. In other words, getting the domain name you request says nothing about whether it will conflict with someone else’s trademark. And if you do receive a domain name that creates a trademark conflict, you could lose the right to it if the trademark owner takes legal action against you.
Here’s an useful link to check out if it is registred in the US or UK.

UK trademarks:

Should I Trademark My Name?

Trademark infringement existed before the Internet, but the ease of registering domain names has increased the challenges of trademark rights. Because anyone from high school students to multi-million dollar corporations can register domain names at little expense, it may be a good idea to register your name if you feel it could be threatened by a cybersquatter.

This is especially true for people whose names are also their profession, like actors, car dealers, even fashion designers. Designer Ralph Lauren has had his name trademarked since 1972 for added protection. Fashion designer Donna Karan found her trademark useful when she fell victim to a dispute over her name. A man unknown to her, Richard Wilson, had registered the domain name www.dkny.biz. Karan had already owned www.dkny.com and www.donnakaran.com, and filed suit with the WIPO stating Wilson registered the domain name in bad faith. The WIPO panel agreed with Karan, requiring the domain name to be transferred from Wilson to The Donna Karan Company.

How to Trademark a Name

Anyone whose name also identifies a business or profession should consider trademarking their actual name. If you are considering establishing a trademark for your name, you should first perform a trademark search with LegalZoom or by going to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Web site at www.uspto.gov , to determine if it is claimed as a mark by someone else. The USPTO reviews trademark applications for federal registration and determines whether an applicant meets the requirements for federal registration.

 

LLLL.com became the new Gold rush these weeks, but where to buy them ? Some people end up at ebay or at some domain brokers like Sedo or Afternic, i personally find better prices at domain forums like namepros , dnforum and digitalpoint. Sure you have to register to post and bid or buy, but then opens a new world.
Here are the direct links to the marketplaces of these forums:
http://www.namepros.com/marketplace-domains-for-sale/
http://www.dnforum.com/#platinum-forums
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59

Good luck for finding good bargains!
