404 implies they will be running a web service. Customising 404's isn't hard. The original domain may not of course have had a website, wonder what the spiders will make of that. > As mentioned in another reply, we need to understand what this means for > search engine spiders and indexing. Although it has to be said that domains generally shouldn't expire, I am more concerned, like you said, at the greater confusion this will reap in the confused minds of people who want their domain back. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
