It's a long story, and I need to condense it.

Let's just say it started out personal, but, while digging and connecting the dots, it has become bigger than my just going off on a rant.

Just keep that popcorn at the ready.

A bit of a nugget for you.

"Domain Registrars – Adapt Or Die – Google’s Coming" ties in a bit with my story:


My story has to do with some of these companies -- registrars and their shell companies -- screwing customers, mostly end users, who often feel helpless and end up giving up their semi-premium domains (or domains that they have built up from the ground). Often, they end up registering another name, often at an equally bad registrar as they have just left.

Grrrr....

One company has messed with me -- fortunately, the domain in question isn't that important to me -- but I have had it with these a$$holes, especially after doing some further research and analyzing Whois records. The average end user has no idea how to interpret these records, but after seven years in this biz, I am fairly savvy (although I had to look up a few things, such as ASN, which, I have discovered, is a treasure trove of information).

So this story has morphed into a narrative that is less about my situation and more about what these companies do to "regular people" (not domainers).

It saddens me... Frankly, I was shocked. I can almost understand why some registrars dislike domainers so much, but to hold their hard-working small business owners in such contempt is just something that is beyond me.

I just believe that Google's entrance into the domain space COULD disrupt the domain industry big time... How, is not yet clear.

Please be patient. There is a story here, but its in bits and pieces right now.

Eye Eye Captain! lol

A doozy or a snoozy ?

I don't think Google entering the domain market is going to bring any particular benefits for registrants.

Besides, many of their projects have failed and were quietly abandoned. While they are immensely powerful they don't succeed at everything they do.

When Google released their parking program a few years ago, they were supposedly going to put all PPC companies out of business. But they pulled the plug.

The big corporations are not benevolent entities, and they are usually not more approachable than the smaller outfits that already exist. Seriously, do people expect that a big player will fix every wrong in this industry ?

Wait a minute! This is about registrars screwing people out of domains and money? I would've never guessed...

and i said ………..

the suspense is killing me......
