A few days after going offline gab.com is back. The domain was booted by GoDaddy a few days ago and then switched to Uniregistry. Somehow, and this isn’t clear to me, the domain then moved again onto Epik. Epik did not simply accept the domain transfer, but actually seem to be welcoming it with open […]
The Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG) has put out a call for expressions of interest in testing website readiness for “universal acceptance”.

Sky were one of the big brands that applied for and got their “dotbrand” domain extension from ICANN. While they may have been increasing the usage of the domain name in their customer communications recently I haven’t seen most of it, as I “cut the cord” over a year ago. This morning, however, I got […]

(They also have their own TLD .gop) A 404 page is one that a web server, such as Apache or IIS, displays when you click on a link to a non-existent page […]
ICANN and a couple of other organisations are taking advantage of venue chosen for the 2017 GDD Summit. ICANN will be holding a “DNS Symposium” in the Hotel NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding in Madrid on Saturday 13th May. It’s the first time that ICANN organises this type of event. The focus of the event will be […]
Fora, which is run by the same people as “The Journal“, published a piece over the weekend on Irish companies and domains. It’s not often that the Irish media, either online or offline, covers domains, so it’s worth a quick read. The piece talks about how the guy behind IT.ie paid over €10k to acquire the domain […]
