Just a gentle reminder that prices for .com and .net domain names will go up on January 15, 2012. VeriSign, which manages the .com and .net Registry, announced their price increase last year. Most likely your registrar might have emailed you about it as well. I got some from Moniker, eNom (through a reseller)...
Happy New Year to everyone! And hello 2012! I’ll be making some changes to my blog in the coming days. Namely: 1. Fixing the font in my pages like About and the Legal pages. Sorry about the bold font, guys! 2. Switching to Livefyre’s comment system. I tried but stopped using it when Livefyre...
A few more hours remain before 2011 draws to a close, and then 2012 begins. To say it’s been an “interesting” year is probably an understatement. A bunch of events have occurred that involve domain names. Some weren’t so bad, others got lots of people riled up enough to pay attention. I won’t really...

Although Go Daddy recently said they’re now “withdrawing” support for SOPA, people still want to move. I can’t say I blame them. However,...
Happy Holidays to everyone. Then for those who specifically celebrate that holiday like me, Merry Christmas. Peace and goodwill to everybody!
A few weeks ago, I finally got around to posting a few bits about SOPA. It’s all over the news, especially in the U.S. As a recap, SOPA is a bill that mainly aims to do two things: shut down non-U.S. web sites selling counterfeit material or share copyrighted material without their owners’ consent,...
My Thoughts On The Go Daddy-SOPA Boycott
I know this is late. I purposefully didn’t write about this until now because I wanted to see how things go after some time. It’s been weeks ever since domain registrar Go Daddy was boycotted. This happened due to their originally supporting SOPA. As a recap for those who just came in, SOPA is...
