Re: [SLUG] Recommended .com.au registrar
Gday, I used to work for TPP internet, they are pretty good although im a bit bias granted ;), their management system allows you to manage all your domains centrally which is pretty good, especially for keeping up with renewals. Their prices are similar to Enetica, and they also have reseller and affiliate (ie get paid for referal) accounts. They have an online website support system manned 6 days, and a standard ticket system. Their system is entirely based on linux, they even use ltsp (the linux terminal server project, http://www.ltsp.org) for staff :) Cheers, Shane. BTW, im not an affiliate or spokesperson for TPP internet, im just a reseller :) On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 15:02, Matthew Palmer wrote: I've got a couple of domains coming up for renewal in the next couple of months, and don't particularly want to give another chunk of change to Extortion IT.

excuse my ignorance, but. What happens if your registrar company (whoever they are) go belly-up? I'm sure that all IT companies are run by reputable businessmen with incredible acumen and skill, but you never know, do you?

Re: [SLUG] Recommended .com.au registrar
There are provisions in place to deal with this type of situation. auDA who is the .au regulatory body will become the acting registrar for the domain in the interim period between company X going belly up and the registrant selecting a new registrar. A very similar thing occurred at the time of deregulation of the space. auDA became the registrar of record for all .net.au domains (about 10,000 or so), registrants had to then transfer the domain to a registrar in order to be able to manage contact details, delegation and the like.
