    Re: 100% Free .INFO Domains

    Here is the news. From 9/5 2AM to approximately 9/6 2AM (almost exactly 24 hours) our DNS servers experienced a DDOS attack. I'm not sure if it is related to the .INFO special or not but it was highly annoying. We are still experiencing degraded service from time to time but we are getting the situation under control. Myself and the CEO were at the data center all day yesterday trying to get the situation resolved. We have 4 DNS servers, 3 of which reside on the same network. It was these 3 that were causing the problem, the combined traffic from them was exceeding our alloted bandwidth (which is a lot). We isolated the DNS servers on a different segment of the network so the traffic to those should no longer be an issue.

    This free .INFO thing has generated way more interest then we ever expected and maybe it also attracted some negative attention.

    Aren't there ways to avoid this? Egress/ISP Filtering?

    Maybe German hackers who had their sites officially devalued overnight.

    That would not have protected us from the type of attack we were under.

    How about you end the deal then if it is hard to handle? As it will only get worse, or make them like $2 each.

    I think this will be what we have to do. The problem is that some marketing yahoo put in a press release that we were doing this until the 9th :veryangry. We'll see what happens.

    Turn the press release upside down and you can close it tomorrow.

    Re: 100% Free .INFO Domains

    Just like to say thanks, Owen. I hope you can work out your dns/ddos problems. I've never used domainsite as a registrar before and have been quite impressed with your control panel and domain extras. Expect more "real" business in the future.

    Thanks again.

    I missed this post - you have my sympathy and hope it's soon resolved for you.

    Re: 100% Free .INFO Domains

    What really p****s me off about the abuse is 'people' regging 'zzzzzz.info' and 'yyyyyy.info' etc etc.

    Look at sedo.us homepage right now.

    If you are here regging such sh*te, you've wasted your own time but most importantly, a lot of others by abusing the system, losers!!!!

    I went to sedo.us and looked at the "latest entries".

    There are very few new .info entries.

    If someone is willing to take the time to register it. It is not
    my place to say if it the correct choice.

    Would I buy it? Probably not.

    But, there are a lot of names I register that many would say is a
    waste of time and money.

    Re: 100% Free .INFO Domains

    You looked a little too late the homepage changes quickly..

    There is a difference between regging a name that has at least a bit of meaning, but regging names like zzzzzzzz.org just for the sake of it is pathetic. Parking revenue, definately $0. Value, definately $0.

    Thats what I mean.
