You should have asked yourself that question before you registered at Godaddy. If you do not want your name to be associated with your domain, you are now locked in forever. To be honest, I don't even know if other registrars do it any diff

BULLSHIT. I repeat: BULLSHIT! Mr. Marlinspike bought a SSL certificate from Gandi by giving them wrong personal information. When Gandi revoked the certificate, the support guys first wrongly communicated that it was probaly due to a tradem

Domaintools may be the best-known whois database, but it isn't the only one and not all of them are as easy to check against.

Nothing good ever came from Godaddy and nothing good ever will come from Godaddy. This "feature" didn't do anything to prevent the theft of css-tricks.com[1] and other domains, because why should someone who wants to steal a domain first ch

They are locking you in. Either you turn off whois privacy, making your name forever connectable to the domain thanks to such databases as whois.sc, or you stay at GoDaddy. Forever.

If either you, or your old provider do things right, there is no downtime at all. In your case it looks like Network Solutions kinda screwed you over. Here's the correct recipe: a) Tell new registrar about incoming domain transfer, make him

I agree, though if you hardcode username and password into your application there's no need for fancy exploits.

That's because they are a webhosting company, not a domain registrar. They offer domains at a cost-covering price as a service for their webhosting customers. Technically ns.phx1.nearlyfreespeech.net works just as well as ns1.yourdomain.exa

Isn't that kind of what we want? We want companies to know it is not OK to support SOPA either directly (like Godaddy) or indirectly (like buying domains from GoDaddy), and we want them to know that we will boycott them and actively tell ot

Just FYI, nearlyfreespeech.net is a name.com reseller. name.com did speak out against SOPA too, but only after namecheap did.

by soult 15y ago
So name.com are jumping on the SOPA bandwagon too, but instead of clearly voicing their protest against SOPA they simply say "piracy is bad, freedom is good" (some form of non-apology[0], apparently) and hope everyone is so outraged by GoDa

The Unix security model is designed for mutli-user hosts. Shared hosting works very well under Unix, iff the admins know what they are doing. Why do you think that before virtualization got popular people were using shell accounts, chroots

I don't think strong enough is what earbitscom was talking about; after all, SOPA is a stronger version of the DMCA. I actually have to agree with him that the Digital Millenium Copyright Act is broken because it serves neither party we

I do care about the artists. I don't care for the labels. In a world where listening to music is as easy as downloading a file from Amazon they just don't add any value. You want me to find a copyright enforcement law that is better than SO

They did, and later reached some kind of settlement. It should still count as a copyright strike under hadopi.

Let's not forget that Sarkozy already has at least one strike. He used a song from MGMT on multiple occasions without permission. And then he insulted them further by offering 1 Euro (yes, 1 Euro!) as compensation.

When a domain doesn't exist I get redirected to Google search and can find something relevant there. Thanks to Sedo I get a page full of spam (or until the Adblock change, an emtpy page) instead. I'd call that intrusive.

Private trackers are a lot more difficult. I bet it would raise some eyebrows if a user on a private tracker were to suddenly announce all torrents. On public trackers they can just use multiple IPs, on DHT they are trackers themselves and

Thanks for the tip. You are of course right, according to Wikipedia the UK is only partially part of the Schengen zone. I must have confused it with Denmark which is not part of the Euro zone, but part of the Schengen zone.
