Domain Name Resources
Here are a few links to domain name resources that you may find interesting. Please let us know if you would like us to include a link in this section.

  • InterNIC
    Of course, this has to be on the top of our resource links page.

  • ICANN.Org
    Keep an eye on the ongoing at ICANN. You may be in for a variety of experiences: at times their actions look funny, entertaining, frustrating, shocking, and once in a while even reassuring. However, please remember that this is work in progress. One can not help but think that there is light at the end of this seemingly long tunnel.

  • ICANNWatch.Org
    Keeps a watchful eye on the ongoings at ICANN.


  • TUCOWS.Com
    As you may already know, TUCOWS stands for "The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software." They started out as a software download site, and have evolved into a lot of things.

  • OpenSRS.Com
    The place where we register most of our domain names.

    They are not the cheapest guys in town though. Actually, they cost us a bundle more (over 50% more) than most other domain registrars. However, these boys from this double bovine joint have been straight shooters thus far. We have been using their services for several years now, and they have behaved so far.

    Over the past few years, they have enjoyed an impressive growth -primarily due to the excellent trust they seem to have garnered from their resellers. However, they seem to be getting a bit greedy lately and appear to be chipping away at the very trust that their resellers have bestowed upon them. They seem to be slowly abandoning their golden we-do-not-compete-with-our-resellers mantra, and appear to be getting tempted to bite the hand that feeds them.

    If they continue to provide excellent services, without directly competing with their resellers, they are well poised to gain an even bigger market share. On the other hand, if they squander away their resellers' trust, it seems very likely that they will lose most of their resellers. Other registrars are already getting better at serving reseller markets and larger customers. Unless OpenSRS keeps its hands clean, they may face a rapid erosion of their market share.

    There are many of us who wish OpenSRS fights this temptation of biting the hands that feed them, but only their actions will determine whether a mass exodus of their resellers is in their stars, or a continued growth with the help of their resellers. We will keep you posted through our news bulletin.
