GoDaddy Offer: .com Domains For Only $6.95

For a very limited time, GoDaddy is offering .com domain registrations, renewal and transfers for only US$6.95! So hurry, head on to GoDaddy.com $6.95 .com Sale if you’re looking for a better deal for your .com domain.

I’ve been a very happy customer of GoDaddy for more than 5 years now and I’m delighted with their services… I’m sure you will too :)

Is It The End For RegisterFly?

The web hosting company that is voted as the worst in the industry could be closing shop soon, as reported by The Register:

ICANN announced Friday that RegisterFly and CEO Kevin Medina have been held in contempt of court, and that the preliminary injunction issued by United States District Court Judge Manuel L. Real issued on April 26 had been made permanent. RegisterFly and Mr. Medina now have until June 1 to hand over all registrant data to ICANN for transfer to a new registrar, which is rumored to be GoDaddy.com.

The order levies fines of $5,000 per day on RegisterFly and Mr. Medina if they fail to comply with the order on June 1

If this is true, then GoDaddy could benefit handsomely from the deal. RegisterFly seems to have a lot of existing customers… and I honestly wonder why, considering the extremely bad press they have received.

Does Domain Hijacking Spyware Exist?

I was reading this post on Pocket SEO, and think that I should share it with my readers.

Basically, a friend of the author was checking the availability of a domain name. It was available when she looked it up. When she wanted to register the domain name the next day, it was already registered by an entity called UltraRPM.

Fortunately though, the domain was only held for five days, the standard grace period for anyone purchasing a ICANN sanctioned domain name.

So please exercise extra care when hunting for domain names, especially if you’re using an IE/Windows setup.
