| New Domain Name (Whole Story) | ||
| Back in 1999 when I purchased "EasyBee.NET" the .COM was already taken, so I settled for the .NET. It has work well over the past eight years. The reason it has work is because the owner of the .COM hardly ever had a website. I would always watch it around renewal time hoping he would not renew it, so I could pick it up. I must have mess it because another guy from France picked it up. This guy has a software program called "TheEasyBee" now it has become a problem, if users who are looking for EasyBee Software and enter the .COM instead of .NET.. You get the picture.,, His website is "TheEasyBee.COM" but he points the EasyBee.COM to that domain. I contacted this guy to make a offer to purchase the .COM domain name from him, the amount was way out of line, so I purchased domain names EasyBeeSoftware.com and the .net... the moral of the story is; when you decide on your domain name, consider all options before making your purchase. | ||
| "Beware" of Domain Name Pirates! | ||
| The thing that
prompted me to examine my domain name situation was a reality walkup
call about "domain name pirates". I recently had a client that was ready
to setup his company website. At one time he owned or at least thought
he own his domain name. The fact was, he did not own the domain name,
the website hosting service handled all that for him. When he stop the
service with the hosting company, they did not renew the domain name
when it came up for renewal. You see the domain name was never
registered to my client, so not knowing that at the time, his domain
name was high-jacked by a domain name pirate. I say "high-jacked"
because it fits better than "pirate". A pirate keeps his bootie, but
when someone high-jacks something, they are usually holding it for
ransom. $5,000 to be exact. It's sad but true and it's also legal. Most hosting services will be happy to transfer a domain name in question if you will ask, the sad part is, most owners do not understand domain name concepts and what it means to be the registered owner. If you're not sure who owns your domain name, then you need to find out. A simple question to ask yourself is, what is my username and password to my domain name account? If you can't answer that question, then you may not be the registered owner. It's not always the hosting services that's setting up your domain name, but website developers will do this kind of thing. It's simply a service that is offered by developers and most will transfer it at your request. It's not something I do because I do not won't that responsibility, I prefer walking my clients through setting up there own domain name, so in the end, my client owns the domain name. So what is the moral of this story? Make sure you have control and you are the registered owner of your domain name. And DO NOT forget to renew it when is comes due for renewal, or you may find that your domain name is being held for ransom. |
