Spamming - the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited, bulk messages. Most likely you are already familiar with this word, and don’t even need to look for its definition. The question that’s bugging you is: “How did spammers know my e-mail?”  A popular method that spammers use to find your e-mail address is by combing through the Whois database.

The main idea behind it is that ICANN, the international governing body for domain names, requires every Registrar to maintain a publicly accessible database displaying all contact information for all domain names registered. That means that every time you register a domain name, your personal contact information is available on the Internet for anyone to see, including spammers, identity thieves, or telemarketers.

Knowing how important it is to keep your online identity secure we offer an identity protecting service called WhoisProtector*, which will hide your personal information from spammers and will replace it with alternate contact details. The result is unquestionable; you remain the owner of your domain, without revealing your personal info to the public.  

The new .mobi domain name is moving forward with the opening of its General Registration period on September 26th, 2006. Meanwhile, trademark owners have the privilege (until September 22nd) to register their Trademarks as .mobi domains ahead of time.

You can satisfy your curiosity by viewing their .mobi websites today:
     

• BMW.mobi site already contains specifications on various car models, as well as wallpaper dedicated to customizing mobile phone backgrounds.

Get .info – get the domain name you’ve always wanted!

If you’re creating a Web site, it has to be easy for your customers/friends to find it. So give them the address they’re looking for – with .info.

.com may be the most widely used extension in the world, but .info has the distinction of being the most widely understood extension in the world. Whether it’s short for informationen in German, información in Spanish, or le informazioni in Italian, the word “info” is understood as short for information in over 35 languages around the world.  

.info is the first truly global domain as it’s intuitive, easy to use and universally recognized. It allows businesses, marketers, individuals and organizations to easily reach a worldwide audience with information about themselves or their business. Most importantly, it’s still much easier to get the .info domain name that people actually want, especially if the .com version has already been taken.
