1. .MOBI is live!
DomainPeople is proud to be a
part of the .mobi Go Live process and we are pleased to announce that
the General Ongoing Registration is live and continues
indefinitely. Anyone can register their .mobi domain names now. General Registration started
with a period known as Landrush on September 26th, 2006.
Individuals
and businesses in more
than 100 countries around the world registered more than 100,000 .mobi
domains in the first four days of the domain's general availability,
demonstrating a strong demand for the next evolution of the Internet.
Among
the first names registered were call.mobi, banking.mobi and mp3s.mobi,
showing the wide range of users that content providers anticipate
accessing the mobile Internet. Additionally, there were many names
requested by multiple parties. For example, loan.mobi was requested by
more than 80 times, while ads.mobi was requested by more than 70.
The
ten countries with the most registrations were the USA, Canada, the UK,
China, France, India, Germany, Japan, Spain and the Netherlands.
Remember
that the .mobi registrations are processed on a first come, first serve
basis, meaning the earlier you apply the more chances you have to get
the domain name you want.

3. Stay secure online. What is
phishing?
Have you ever received an
e-mail saying that you are eligible to receive a tax refund or that you qualify for a $ 200,000
mortgage without even applying for it? Also, in this type of e-mail you would be asked to login to
your bank account or give your credit card number. This practice is called
“phishing” and we are not talking about 13 lb
salmon here.
“Phishing"
is when online crooks send out emails attempting to fool you into
sharing personal information like passwords or credit card numbers. Why
do they call it phishing? Because these people are hoping to "fish
out” your personal information. These people pretend to be
from an organization or company that you
trust. It can be from the bank you have an account with or the online
store that you shop from time to time.
They normally use scare tactics, and will tell you that your account
has been suspended or that your credit card was fraudulently used. Do not believe it,
even though it looks real. Your bank would never ask you to send them
your personal information by e-mail. If you have any concerns
it’s better to call your bank and ask.
Simple rules to follow:
- If you receive a suspicious
message delete the email and don't reply.
- Protect your computer by
installing an anti-spam software.
- Never give out your personal
information via e-mail. Even if it was an e-mail from your friend,
confirm first.
- Review your credit card
statements.
