I couldn't find a proper category for this question but ... Does anyone know of a domain registrar offering net (15, 30) terms? I am the IT buyer at a large company with many domains and we prefer to use our standardized payment method. Thanks a bunch!

Hello I have a question: Suppose I own a site, and a domain, 'mysite.com'. I provide services to different clients, so clients open sub-domains under my site. For example, the site 'test.com' will be at my site, at 'mysite.com/test.com', so the clients of 'test.com' will enter this sub-domain. What I …

Does anyone out there know whether an organization must be registered as 501 (c)(3) in order to have a .org extension in its domain name? Are there any other requirements for having a .org domain name or can you just use .org like you would .com, .net , etc.? Thanks.

With 2009 coming to an end, it's that time of year when security experts start predicting what the (very near) future will hold in terms of likely threat landscapes. One has bucked the trend of just picking on botnet growth and SEO poisoning, although both are on its list, and …

Jonathan Ive (there, I bet you thought the headline was a typo) is not as famous as perhaps he ought to be. Next to Steve Jobs he has been responsible for turning the Apple brand around, making it desirable again, chiefly by designing the iPod, the first eMacs and substantial …

Just back from a briefing with the registration company behind the new .tel domain. Interesting stuff in that it's not really about websites as people who've gone in on the first wave of registrations, for commercial companies with trademarked names, will know. Given the spate of fake celebrities - in …

If the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) gets its way, businesses may soon get a [URL="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/orl-domains1308oct13,0,1893293.story"]whole new crop of top-level domain names[/URL] to choose from. Though they'll probably cost around $100,000 to purchase, the chance to own a user- and search-friendly domain will be a no-brainer for …

That was quick, but I suppose it would be. Readers might have heard that while America has had the Lehmann Brothers crisis, we've had our own little meltdown in the UK and two of our banks, HBOS and Lloyds, have decided to merge. And they've been [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7621647.stm"]Cybersquatted[/URL]. Now, this can …

The concern over domain names and whether they can be hijacked by malicious code is accelerating. The BBC's website carries [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7546557.stm"]this story[/URL], in which Dan Kaminsky is credited with discovering the flaw and he warns that it could be more serious than we'd thought at first. Verisign is in the …

I've left this one a few days as I've been waiting to see whether there's a consensus. Last week ICANN overhauled the rules on Internet domain name, permanently - there's a BBC report on it [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7475986.stm"]here[/URL]. Without seeing any of the new domain names just yet it's difficult to tell …

So the ICANN people are discussing a major overhaul of the Internet in [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7474889.stm"]Paris today[/URL]. I can't say I'm all that delighted. The thing about the Internet is that it basically works. If you can read this it's because I'm able, from London, to type in [url]www.daniweb.com[/url] and follow the …

It’s bad enough, as an individual, to discover that the domain name you wanted has been snapped up by some corporate pirate looking to make a mighty profit by sitting on it and selling it on. It is even worse when these cyber-squatters snap up a domain you had been …

Here we go with the mobile phone beat-down again: Cingular Wireless, in a move boiling over with distasteful corporate hubris, has had the unmitigated effrontery to announce that they are going to charge folks with "older phones" an additional five bucks a month (OK, $4.99, but who's splitting hairs here?) …

FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Association committed acts of browser discrimination by only allowing people with Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer 6.0 to file electronic claims in response to Hurricane Katrina.
