Based on valuable feedback and insights, we’ve taken our website to the next level. We’ve pored over wireframes and mockups. We’ve talked about reducing the amount of clicks and optimising our code. After some final tweaks our new website is finally here…
Registering and managing generic domains like .COM, .NET or .ORG is not a science... or is it?
What's the auto-renew grace period and when does it hit redemption? If I miss the renewal date, have I lost my domain name? To answer these questions on domains, visit our domain laboratory to see what's cooking.
We all know that domain names are amazing and fantastic, and quite possibly the best thing ever invented. Without them the Web would just be a bunch of numbers; a world where websites only have IP addresses and EuroDNS doesn't exist.
Lot's of people have asked me what's happening with the new domains, what do all the phases mean, and when can I register one? All good questions, but until very recently it's been rather difficult to give a straight answer. And then last Friday http://نقطة-شبكة.امارات (Internet in Arabic) dropped in from nowhere and dashed off into the Sunrise application period. But what's the Sunrise period you say?
The Internet is about to change radically with the introduction of over 1000 new domain extensions. While it's probably good news for customers, and will create more choice and increased competition in the domain market. It's undeniably good news for domain registries and internet super-brands, giving them a one-off opportunity to capture the next .COM.
