More and more Registrars announce partnership to sell expired domain names. To understand how it works, the Registrant (owner) can decide not to renew his domain name.
In this case, it will expire and then, it will go for auctions if his Registrar has settled a partnership. Anyone interested to buy the domain will have to bid. It does not mean someone will buy the domain at a higher price at all: it is another solution for the Registrar to sell the domain name to someone else and make money instead of just dropping the domain. Of course, this is more money for the (accredited) Registrar but what is not said here is: what happens when the Registrant forgets to renew his domain name? I believe the best quality service a registrar can offer is to provide his client “the best service”. What if I am a corporate client with hundreds of domains to manage and, for organization reasons, I can’t auto-renew my domain names? Well: it becomes here a very risky situation to trust an accredited Registrar who is going to sell my domain name if I forget to renew it, isn’t it? What it means is: when it comes to renewing your 300 domains and you’re not there that day, most of them can probably be renewed the next day but there’s a chance you will lose one or two in the list. Think about it  |

Well it seems there's a person ready to pay the price for an .ASIA domain name and guillon.asia was won for $160. What I really missunderstand...is the use of it: pay-per-click? Why buy guillon.asia such a price for pay-per-click ? The interesting point here is to see the value of the .com increase. While I am here, I 'm selling and droppping some "guillon" domains. Guillon.ru was dropped recenly an taken as soon as dropped. I start to think it is a good strategy to increase the value of a ".com" Guillon.asia today (05/23/2008):

Today, 85% of these IPv4 addresses are in use. There should be no left by 2011. It is time to move to IPv6. Read full OECD report here (PDF) |

"Support is support": you cannot replace people with computers. Registrars, when they do not provide a single agent for Corporate customers, need to provide serious support to provide an efficient support.Read more here. |

A "Landrush period” is not a Landrush anymorePreviously, participating in a Landrush period offered the possibility to acquire a domain name with no prior right. Landrush was a “Go Live”; the right period to claim a domain name and be the only one to acquire it following the “first come fist served” rule. It is still the case but… The launching of .ASIA seems to have changed this simple rule. Today, there is a huge difference between a Landrush period and a “Go Live” (also called “open registration”). These confusing terms for the Registrant with no knowledge increase the risk to just…lose a domain name. Here is a brief description of these different periods: - A “Sunrise period”: Need of a prior right to claim the domain name (registered company, brand, etc…)
- A “Landrush period”: Open to anyone with no prior right but your domain goes to auctions if at least 2 persons ask for the same domain name.
- “Go live”: Open registration following the “first come fist served” rule.
So: should I participate to a Landrush period? When acting to register your domain name during a Landrush, you also inform your competitors there is an interest in a specific domain name: if one tries to register this domain name, your domain goes to auction and the richest bidder gets the domain. When not acting during the Landrush, you take the risk to lose your domain name to anyone faster than you during “Go Live”. My suggestion would be to participate in Sunrise if you have a prior right. If you have a budget but no prior right, register during Landrush.
If you have no budget: there are 2 options: - Search for a good Registrar with few clients who will send his list of requests as soon as Go Live period starts ( a large registrar will have a longer list)
- Search for several Registrars and register with more than one to increase your chances to get the domain.
