Domain Name News: “132 Domain Names seized on Cyber Monday” plus 1 more |
| 132 Domain Names seized on Cyber Monday Posted: 26 Nov 2012 11:14 AM PST According to a Reuters release United States and European authorities seized 132 domain names. According to DNN’s knowledge this is the first time that an international cooperation in order to seize domain names happened like this:
A list of the domains has not been published, so it is not quite clear if ccTLDs were also involved. One person in the US was arrested.
According to Dailychanges there have been no domains there were added to the previously used nameservers (ns1.seizedservers.com) recently, however we did notice that apparently one of the seized names, golfstaring.com, has expired at Network Solutions and the nameservers were changed to “ns1/2.pendingrenewaldeletion.com”.

And in order to avoid having to report the trickle of the other releases, here are some of the other sites for this applicant’s TLDs, which are not yet fully launched as the company informs us, since the content is not complete yet. The active sites have “over a million pages worth of content” a company spokesperson told DNN. Their main site at Domainia.com also allow pre-registrations for most of the TLDs applications. See the press release after the jump. Dot Food, LLC announces the launch of FoodDomainia.com, a pre- registration and awareness solution for the new .FOOD gTLD Dot Food, LLC announces the launch of FoodDomainia, a pre-registration and awareness solution that introduces their applied-for gTLD, .FOOD, to businesses and consumers, worldwide. Within the next year, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will introduce hundreds of new, industry-specific Top Level Domains (TLD), such as .FOOD, to the Internet. The .FOOD domain extension will act as an alternative option to .COM or .NET, designed specifically to provide a commerce environment and information exchange network for the food industry. .FOOD will assist businesses in creating user friendly access to food related products, services and information instantaneously through accurate search engine classifications. The food industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. As a result, food related websites have become some of the most competitive sites on the Internet. With this in mind, Dot Food, LLC is committed to educating its client base about the benefits of having a .FOOD domain extension while creating awareness among food related businesses worldwide, and maximizing pre-registration for the food industry professional or enthusiast. In addition, FoodDomainia is a gateway of information for the food industry. Along with a complete recipe and nutritional facts, the site compiles a complete U.S directory that includes all food related establishments, from farmers to grocery stores to restaurants. By pre-registering for a .FOOD domain name on FoodDomainia, food retailers and service providers can secure a better, more professional domain name for their business, product, or service. Registrants will be instantly identified as relevant and valuable members of the food industry, will stand out among their competitors and appear stronger to online investors; all the while increasing their Search Engine Optimization. Any Registrant that holds a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), will have priority over any other Registrant to be awarded the applied-for .FOOD domain. Brand and trademark holders should pre-register early to protect their interest. Dot Food, LLC is excited to participate in this new revolution of the Internet. Visit our website at www.fooddomainia.com to pre-register your .FOOD domain name, today.

| Domaintools Data on Whois Privacy [Infographic] Posted: 21 Nov 2012 08:42 AM PST DomainTools released an info graphic on whois privacylast week and we wanted to make sure that you didn’t miss it. DomainTools went through their data and identified 130 different privacy services across almost 225 million unique domain name Whois records. Almost 32 million domains were identified as private, or about 15% of the total population they reviewed.
Privacy Concentration for Registrars with between 100K and 1MM Domains Under Management:
Privacy Concentration for Registrars with over 1MM Domains Under Management:
Privacy Concentration for TLDs with over 1MM Domains in DNS:
* Nearly all the 'private' domains in .CN are associated with one registrar and privacy provider, and there are indications of underlying domain tasting on .CN as well. Absent this registrar, privacy on .CN is virtually nil. Some TLDs that do not provide a public whois or only provide a limited public whois were excluded from the survey. Related posts:
