Interesting soon after this thread started they came out with a release about it which was full of mierda.

My test domain last night is still available, maybe it was too long?
 
Domain Summit Asia 2026
I think they added a block on top known trademarks already...or else they would have dell-dell-dell.com right now and they don't. ;)
 
ok, someone try dell-dell-dell.com then..did'nt work for me
 
dell-dell-dell.com is now taken.

godaddy-godaddy.com - yep - gone.
 
the solution is only check names at other registrars and buy asap

you will have to play taste game like them until ALL names are regged

soon names will be regged and never paid for

as they drop after 4 days and get picked up on the 5th by either the same person or another

this cycle continues....indefinetly


until "ICANN'T" steps in
 
from Networksolution website concerning the who is privacy service:

" Network Solutions feels strongly that personal information should be kept private. ICANN (the organization that oversees the domain name system), however, requires the name, address, e-mail, and phone number of domain name holders to be listed in the public, searchable WHOIS database. We developed our Private Registration service to help shield you from spam, fraud, or annoying telemarketers."

Maybe they should offer the privacy service also for looking up domain names on their website - lol .
 
hhmm, thank for alert, wont search domains at netsol, great software- but reputation damaging..


do you think other registrars will be implementing this system ?
 
strange...I typed in a long worthless name to see if they took it and they didn't...name must be too bad :lol: investmentsourcesonline. I wonder if they stopped their tasting program for the day?
 
They've all gone now - it seems to click in once you type the name directly into the url.

(ie investmentsourcesonline and netsol********)

You're correct. All taken! I can't believe this!
 
it's getting harder and harder for the average joe domainer ..

This is getting pretty big. I've seen this on other forums and also gotten several email newsletters in reference to it.

I must object to this domain. Microsoft Windows is NOT gay. It just has a wide stance.

Anyway, I just checked 4 made-up domains (boxcarbaggage.com, unkleugly.com, nogglezone.com, slamdunkdonuts.com) on NSI (that were available a few minutes earlier), and now two of them are snagged by NSI (unkleugly.com, nogglezone.com).

Not to defend NSI - they can say that since you are checking a domain at NSI, they automatically reserve it for you, when you are ready to pay for it, and that since you are on their site, you'd be their customer anyway. This actually would have been good, if it had happened when I check a domain on another registrar, several months ago - and the domain was available and I put it in my shopping cart, and forgot to hit the "BUY" button. Then, by the next morning, the domain had been picked up by someone else. It was a good name that dropped the day before, so I'm sure my query was not monitored in order to grab the name.

I was surprised to see that Network Solutions is doing this, but everything started changing long ago.... Once NSI displayed the message that ".org" was only for non-profit organizations - then later promoted you to protect your brand, and grab all possible variations. Then registrars started offering backorder services, SnapNames changed their "flat-fee" pricing model, and so on. It's simply the domain market evolving, and for a long time, the people with the power (registrars) didn't start taking advantage of the situation until many have had the opportunity to made a lot of money and/or grab a lot of great domain names.

Whenever a new method is discovered to making money, you can be sure it will be fully exploited.
 
All I have to say is:

ICANNT!​
