CADNA's Paris Forum: Brand Owners Working Together to Curb Domain Name Abuses and Improve the Internet

Identity Theft Hits the Root Name Servers

aos101 writes "The Renesys blog has an interesting story about networks advertising the old address space of the L root name server after ICANN changed the IP address last November. These networks were also running root name servers on the old IP address of the L root name server up until last week, so any DNS servers still using the old IP address might have been getting their answers from these bogus name servers. A very cursory examination by Renesys of one of these bogus servers found that it appeared to be providing correct responses, which might be why no one noticed the problem. As Renesys points out, the volume of traffic to a root server is staggering, so the people running these bogus root servers must have had a reason. What did they get out of it?"

Money Online : Domain Names and Marketing

Much has been written about domain names in the past and their importance when starting a website. If you have a business then it is always best to choose the domain name the same as your business or your product. The name of my product is “The Times�. That would mean that I would have to try and register www.thetimes.com or if you are in a specific area wanting to advertise and appeal to people in the area such as South Africa you could also register the name www.thetimes.co.za. The TLD (top-level domain) co.za automatically tells people and more importantly Google that it is most likely a South African website. You could also try and register it with a hyphen between the words such as the-times. That is more a branding issue than search engine optimisation as very few people would type in ‘the times’ into a search engine unless
