Nah i hate those hard core crazy anti-spammers feed them C4 for all i care.
And i've used registerfly for almost a year and a half now with 0 dns server problems. I am 100% happy with them they are awesome. And i'm normally very picky. And lets not get into SPEWS and the other crap those boneheads do :) I would try godaddy but i dont want to pay 20 to use their dns servers i have my own but its nicer to not really have to worry about them too much. cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: "samcfug" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 11:58 AM Subject: Re: OT Domain registration The problem with GoDaddy is that they charge $20. per year extra to use their name servers. I do not need domain names masked. I have several clients with Registerfly, and the problem with them is that every 90 days or so, their DNS servers get corrupted (maybe from Phreakers) and mission critical sites are typically offline and without mail until They can get them fixed up and propagated again. They are the ones asking me to search out a more reliable registrar. Network Solutions are in themselves spammers, and also sell their address lists to other spammers. I use Register.com myself for my own domains, but these clients do not wish to pay their prices although I consider them as the easiest to use and most reliable of all. I do not want to run my own name servers, because they are all on the same network, and DNS is much more reliable with dispersed name servers. I do use DNS caching, however, As for filling in fake information for the WHOIS, There are rules currently in effect that if you cannot be reliably contacted through WHOIS, then upon complaint, your registration can be revoked. There is a rising groundswell of anti-spammer activists that are searching out and filing complaints with ICANN. More info can be found at http://www.dshield.org. As for spam harvested from WHOIS databases, I use a filtering server running Postfix on Linux that effectively blocks all that spam. Anyone with a domain name can subscribe to this filtering server which then sends your email on to you after filtering for open proxy, open relay, spamcop.bl, and virus scanning. It even blocks the Nigerian scam mail. This way you are assured of getting clean email to your server, and there is no delay in delivery. File attachments that are not virus infected are permitted. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Wheatley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 9:09 AM Subject: Re: OT Domain registration | thats a great reason TO use them i hate putting real info into a domain to | be harvested or given out its nobodies business anyway :). | | But i still like registerfly.com better | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Hugo Ahlenius" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 9:57 AM | Subject: RE: OT Domain registration | | | With GoDaddy -- a reason not to use them: | | They offer a service with the domain registration where the owner is not | presented in any whois, which are being used by shady domains. | | | | | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
