I've visited your website...

There's no scam like an old scam. I was almost taken in by this message I received yesterday, but like most scams they almost always do something stupid to tip you off. In this case it was the part about paying me $4,800 a month. That might work for a site that is getting millions of visitors a month, because they will already be making some money, but for smaller sites, it's stupid. If they had said $48 I might have tried it. $480 would have me wondering, but $4,800 is like those Nigerian emails about getting millions. Then I hear that to tap in this money you have to PAY THEM? Yeah, right you morons.

Stock Exchange For Domains

Fusu -- The Domain Stock Exchange -- Announces Public Beta and Key Partnership

Fusu, the world's first Domain Stock Exchange opens up to a wider audience; Announces strategic partnership with EuroDNS to solidify the road to launch and beyond.

January 26, 2008 -- $300,000 in only 100 days is the record achievement made by Fusu, the first Domain Stock Exchange platform. Incredibly high for a closed, invitation-only beta, the virtual amount was reached by a hundred key players in the Domain Industry that are already using the real-money version launched in November.

With 140 million domains registered today and a market value that could reach $4 billion by 2010, the need for a dedicated platform where domain names purchasers and investors could meet and trade was sorely unaddressed until late 2007, when Fusu was pre-launched by a team of Internet professional to address that very issue.

Because so few good names are still available, domains have become the real estate of the 21st century. More than 90,000 domain names are bought daily, with some achieving spectacular market values: Vodka.com sold for $3.5 million, Computer.com for $2.1 million.

As the market matures through the efforts of experienced investors and industry leaders, processes and standards have emerged that have facilitated the development of brokerages, auction platforms and leveraged financing instruments. Fusu's Domain Stock Exchange represents the natural evolution of this trend as it brings further transparency and reliability to the market.

As with a traditional Stock Exchange, Fusu allows its participants to get liquidity from their assets. On Fusu, holders of a premium domain (i.e Vodka.com) can devote a fraction of their domain to the market and immediately get money out of it without having to give up its control at any time. In return, stockholders in the domain name will get their share in future sales or advertising revenues generated by the domain name.

•    For example, one domain owner sold 45% of his $5,000-value domain on Fusu. He earned $2,250 in the first 24 hours after his Initial Domain Offering. In the trading that followed, the domain rose to a value of $6,200, a 24% gain.

Shareholders participate in the booming domain name industry, without having to spend hundreds of thousands on a single premium name. Just like on any other Stock Exchange, shares can then be traded between buyers.

•    Indeed, during the closed beta, the most successful trader on Fusu earned over $4,000 in real money, only by investing in shares.
•    Under the same circumstances, the most active trader bought or sold over 18,000 shares, resulting in a transaction volume of $36,594.90.

With today's launch of Fusu's Public Beta, everyone is now invited to buy and sell shares of premium domain names that are owned by a few well known and trusted domainers, to guarantee a safe and trustworthy Exchange during the Beta period.

To provide for a stable launch, today also marks the beginning of a partnership with EuroDNS SA, well-known registrar and a key player in the domain industry. "By bridging the gap between the traditional finance world and the innovative domainers' crowd, Fusu grants investors an unprecedented access to valuable properties while fueling a buoyant market" comments Xavier Buck, EuroDNS CEO. "Our company is proud to participate in a great venture that could become essential to domainers and Internet users worldwide."

The Landrush is about to start. There are only 2 days left to submit all your names for the .ASIA Landrush at the promotional price of 4.-Euro*.

(PRWEB) February 20, 2008 -- The Landrush is about to start. There are only 2 days left to submit all your names for the .ASIA Landrush at the promotional price of 4.-Euro*.

During the Landrush you can try to get any name without restrictions. Landrush starts on the 20th February, and EuroDNS/ AsiaDNS offers for this Landrush a promotional code that allows you to get the .ASIA for only 4 Euros* (*=per domain/per year; 2years minimum).

The Promo Code is: 4ASIA20 (valid from now till only the 20th February midnight UTC). Application for .ASIA domains can only be submitted via the new portal of EuroDNS / AsiaDNS: http://v2.eurodns.com

Not only EuroDNS/AsiaDNS offers the best possible price for the .Asia Domain Registration, but as AsiaDNS is the registry for .asia.com domains, AsiaDNS/EuroDNS offers for every successfully registered .asia domain also the same domain in asia.com for free (1year free registration).

For any questions, please contact support @ eurodns.com

For people who want to submit a high quantity of domains (more than 100), please contact and send your lists to: email protected from spam bots

Further details about the Landrush:

The Landrush period goes from 20th February to 12th March (but the promo price is only valid for all applications submitted from today to the 20th included).

It is NOT a "first come first serve" Landrush. No domain will be assigned by the registry till the end of the Landrush. The registry will accept more than one application per domain.

All domains that have been applied for more than once (where at least two persons applied for the same name) will enter into an auction. The auction starts (after the landrush period) between the persons who applied for the domain (no open auction). All persons whose domain(s) enter in an auction process will be informed and will be able to see who they are bidding against. The auction will last a few days and the bidding will be done through the EuroDNs /AsiaDNS account (v2.eurodns.com).

All domain names that only got one application during the Landrush will be registered to the registrant without any auction at the end of the Landrush period.

Registrar Discounts Unexampled

EstDomains Still Offering Unexampled Discounts

EstDomains, a US-based domain registrar, prolongs its special offer and announces that company's domains will remain cheaper than the net cost from original domain zone owners up to August 31, 2008.

(PRWEB) September 6, 2007 -- It is common knowledge that domain registrars selling domains to end buyers have relative marketing freedom in their pricing -- still, their prices remain tied to the prices set up by companies who own this or that domain zone, like VeriSign. EstDomains Inc. started its special offer with domain prices set below the net cost of original domain registries. Originally this special offer was to expire on August 31, 2007, but following the feedback from its customers, the company now extends the duration of the offer to August 31, 2008.

It has to be noted that the prices of EstDomains Inc. remain tied to the original costs from corporations owning the domain zones. However, if the original costs are subject to change, the margin between the net costs and prices for EstDomains Inc. end buyers will still remain. This makes the prolonged offer from EstDomains Inc. a perfect domain deal for every customer.

Currently, EstDomains Inc. customers can get a .com, .net, .org or name domain for as low as $5.99. One-year registration of an .info domain will cost $3, while .biz domains cost $5.39. As for .us and .tv domains, their registration is priced at $5.49 and $24.99, respectively. Learn more about the services and special offers from EstDomains Inc. here: www.estdomains.com.

Liberty Names: The Freedom To Pay More

Never Pay More Than $10 A Year For Domain Registration!

I just got another letter from Liberty Names and I felt like I needed to post a message about them in case people are checking them out and want to know why they should NOT return the letter and go with them. There are two reasons:

1) They send you what LOOKS LIKE an invoice and if you don't read it carefully, you could think it's just a domain registration renewal notice. After all at the top right of the letter it says in large letters: "Domain Name Expiration Notice".

To their credit, they do say that this is a TRANSFER that you would be doing, but they also say things that are confusing and not clear or the entire story. In short, while not outright lies, they are not the full truth either. Rather than sending a nice sales letter with information about their company and why you should transfer to them, they choose to mislead and create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

2) The fee for renewal/transfers is $29, they they offer NOTHING in my opinion to justify this outrageous fee. When I first registered a domain many years ago, I did have to pay Network Solutions $35 a year. Then I discovered DirectNIC.com and only had to pay $15 a year for the same services. For the past 3 years I have only been paying between $7 and $10 a year and if you are paying more than that you are being ripped-off, or have a special kind of domain that is more expensive. Their fee is at least THREE TIMES AS EXPENSIVE AS MOST OTHER REGISTRARS.
