OK..I run Opera and I just tested it..all typo of .cm extension go to agoga.com. It happens in all my browsers..could it be Cox messing with DNS?

not really a shocker...even "legitimate" African business are thieves...why are they even allowed to connect to the rest of the world?

I tried a few years back and was rejected. It seems they require a local incorporation reflecting the same/similar name you are requesting to register.

Of course, they sold out for about a week when the $ was too good to refuse.

Wow, strong word of racism. I worked in Africa and have good friends. In every country you will find people which will screw you over for a dollar. This is in particular true for 3rd world countries, but that does not mean that everyone is a thieve!

He did not mention anything about race, so its not a racism.

Alot of help. But looks a little to risky for me.

Camtel is not in charge of the domain registration anymore.

Camtel is not in charge of the domain registration anymore.

Wow - I guess someone did not take to kindly to the week of wildcarding...

 

[snicksnack]

Nothing to do with the wildcarding. This was planed already along time ago.

snicksnack,

And how do you know that Camtel is no longer in charge of domain registration?
