- This post didn't seem to get through yesterday?
Hi Alex, Yes but James has stated that even though these names are put up for action, the original registrant still has the full 80 days to get their name back. They retain first rights over the domain even if a buyer is found through the auction process. So what we're saying is that if the client doesn't pay for their name within a period of 80 days after expiry it will go to the auction winner. Well at the moment they have zero chance of getting it back when it returns to the pool. If it's in any way valuable the cartel will grab it and has been stated here before, most/all expired names get bought up automatically for advertising (Google Adsense etc). If your client had any worthwhile traffic they will loose their domain. Starting this auction service doesn't change that. The only area I can see people getting upset about is the change of name servers on expiry with the subsequent problems of re-propagation and possible damage to SE listings. As I'm probably one of the only SEO's on this list, I'm looking into this SE issue and will have some info for people soon. This .be promotion has taken up way too much of my time! :) Best Regards, Nick Managing Director e3internet http://www.e3internet.com Alex wrote: >That's just it.
