Fantastic idea, but they should be clearer about what happens if someone sends you a text message. It seems from the FAQ that maybe you wouldn't get it? If I ported my number over, and didn't get texts anymore, I'd be pret

If these people were far away, or for some reason couldn't help, no problem film away. But I too would be upset with someone filming if there was room to help - here's someone under a bus - the right thing to do is try to save th

Sure, but you always have a few Truly Important domains, that you DO NOT want to lose. This is about those. An easy solution would be to charge you a few bucks more for domains you designate as Important.

This is a big opportunity for registrars to make their customers feel safer: "We will go to extra lengths to make sure you don't lose your domain this way. We will pick up the phone and call you."

Sure thing. $10 million on a valuation of $30 million, which would then give you a new post-money valuation of $40 million. The company is worth $30 million or $40 million depending on whether or not the investors put in the $10 millio
