Had to remember a command from 10 years ago to ensure the remaining servers are virtual not dedicated since NS sent a letter to terminate non virtual contracts...

It was mii-tool eth0

Ask them if it is possible to transfer the domains how come the functionality of sending Auth-code is not available online when the domain expires? A lot of things that eNom does are in the grey area, unethical and simply wrong and evil. With the new Google panda policy eNom is going to a have a har...

We had some similar cases recently for ALA servers.

From time to time I get a hold of a domain that I'd like to sell. I toss them up on SEDO and hope for the best. I've had one domain there for 5 years. I think it's worth a lot. Over the years I've gotten no responses. Then I decided to "forward" the traffic to a very well known site that was topica...

We have a colo with them in their older DC on Yonge St. For what we have been using, it has been very stable although pricy. The DC that we use is not manned 24/7. Supposedly if we need a remore hand it is available 24/7($$$) The DC is managed through the Vancouver NOC and we only needed their urgen...

Thnaks for the heads up. Have you noticed any other issues with PHP5 servers?

I should add that having a refund policy to the end user is completely optional and up to the registrar.

Arf, What do you think? m If a registrar register 1000 new dot-com in March, it will be able to delete up to 100 dot-com in April and it will get a full refund from the registry($6.86) and also the Icann fee(20cent) Some registrars such as Tucows charge a $1 fee as the administration fee (or maybe t...

The refund during the 5 days grace period is still available and is so generous that will not affect a registrar business. Here is a link to the details: m As you can see a refund to the registrar willl be available up to the greater of either: * 50 domain names, or * 10% of net new adds for the pre...

Fraudulent orders are very small in comparison with the number of good registrations any legitimate registrar has. The new grace period provisions of all registries stilll allows using the grace period to cancel and get a refund however it will effectively terminate the domain "tasting" bu...

WebsiteOS is the propriatory control panel by hostopia(White lable) Their client base includes all telcos in Canada, some major registrars in the US and some big British companies.

Dot-me is auction based. Afilias is running the registry but the auction house is Go daddy. So expect to pay more for good domains when they go to the auction.

I have been struggling with finding the best solution to address this as more and more modern web design packages are using xhtml compliant code. So adding <?xml at the top of a html document. Adding individual .htaccess file is not practical neither reliable. I tried to remove the line form srm.con...

It 's amazing how messaed up the things are in Navisite.

You should be able to querry your primary and secondary dns for admin.domain.com

dig @dns-ip admin.domain.com

Whole server went down again about an hour ago. Gave them a call and the assured me they were working on it and would "call me back" soon. Anyone else having trouble right now. EDIT: Did get a call back just now (15 min) and the lady said a tech was working on reseting the server and it should be d...

That's big news! Many websites should be down as a result of this. Can you give an example domain?

I checked the Ip addresses. They are 205.178.190.1 and 205.178.189.1. Any nslookup times out.

I don't think you can compare these 2 registrars. Enom is effectively selling the domains at a loss but TUCOWS has a comfortable margin. (wholesale pricing of $6.95 vs $10.25) Also DNS manager is included in enom pricing but costs $3 extra at TUCOWS. Enom has recently started desperately to make mor...

Sapphyre, I just noticed your post. Did you get the TBR domains you wanted? As you mentioned there is a 15 minutes window for registering TBR domains. Similar to dot-com drop, the popular names are going in the very first second. If you want to register a TBR domain you must prebook it through one o...

Thanks for your replies. I guess i'll go ahead and make the switch to A.net. Let me add my 2 cents. We use both Verisign PFP and Authnet. As you mentioned my cost for Authnet is 30% less than Verisign but: 1-Overall Verisign product is a more robust product. On the client side it's more secure. On ...

Cool. For people with coding experience, check this one out: http://alahosts.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1033&highlight=password For those who don't have access to the secure area, it has the source code of a very basic php page to retrieve the password or anything else from DSM.

I got sick and tired of dictionay attacks on our mail servers. Why using the server resources to launch SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Quaranteen for non existing email accounts? A simple email log analyzer showed very intersting results: 25% of incoming connections blocked using spamhaus RBL 10% sent to val...

Can you post the link?

The mail setup is getting better and better. First Line of defence: RBL in sendmail Second Line of defence: SpamAssassin Third Line of Defence: WiKi Custom Lists Forth Line of defence: ClamAV Im going to add back Arfs offering just behind SpamAssassin to clear even more spam. Then allow the user to...

Okay, now that I feel a little more in control of this, I have another question or two. Burning Question: Is there a way to check against the RBL without giving the sender the benefit of a return letter? So far, certain RBLs are working very well and I'm not getting any complaints. So why use the b...
