Umm, so with Verisign claiming that the registry is overloaded by
rogue registrars trying to snap up domains the instant they're dropped,
I would be *very* interested in knowing how they have justified
SnapBack(TM) to ICANN.
Very interested indeed.
What is SnapBack? Try and register an existing domain through
http://www.networksolutions.com/ You'll be offered a link to "Back Order".
For example:
http://www.snapnames.com/nsi/networksolutions.jsp?affiliateID=49&dom=cluelessfucks.com
Is the domain name you want already taken?
If so, like hundreds of thousands every month, it may expire and become
available again.
When you Back-Order a name:
* If it becomes available in the next year, with SnapBack^(TM) you'll have
the best chance in the industry to acquire the name automatically.
* We monitor the name around the clock, 24/7, so that you don't have to.
* The cost of a successful registration is included in the $49 price.
* You are virtually guaranteed to get a name you want: if the original
registrant renews, or we were otherwise not able to register the name, you can
keep transferring your subscription to new names.
===========================================
So... who is putting load onto the registry?
OK... so snapnames.com is actually registered through register.com
and NSI is only an affiliate of them, but still... snapnames is putting
load onto the registry on behalf of NSI.
I don't know why I'm surprised by anything that Verisign does any more...
but this is beyond ridiculous.
