That is good news. Why was is locked in the first place?

I wouldn't suggest Moniker. It has been on a decline in the past 5+ years. No maintenance and anything can and will go wrong.
Their...

There have been cases like you describe but these are the exceptions.
With Go Daddy I believe there is steady stream of cancelled auctions of about 5-10% every day.

With namejet most of the times...

Go Daddy will refund the 28k charge and the Amex commission will be refunded with that by Amex itself.
Go Daddy doesn't have to explicitly refund the commission.
It's a shitty "Euro -other...

No, not everybody does this. In fact on Go Daddy does it.
In Namejet and Snapnames, once the auction is done and you have paid the domain immediately changes ownership and the previous owner can't...

I meant 1-2% of the commission amount of 501,87 Euros: 5-10 Euro

I was talking to David Walker...

Anyway this is very bad and from my experience they will start by not replying to your emails then if they reply they will say they would have to talk to their...

Their terms say that you can pay up to 3 days after winning the auction.
Their terms say that owners can renew the domains up to 7 days after the auction ends.
So if you pay at about the 3rd day...

Why is this not good to do?
According to their terms you have exactly 3 days to pay so you can pay whenever you want in that 3 day period.
I now pay after the 48 hours.

@OralB Go Daddy has been the worst registrar for years. I just don't understand how a lot of domainers keep their domains there.
I wrote about your problem in October were I suggested waiting a...

Did you pay for the auction?
Did you get a refund?

Don't expect a reply to your emails.

I got charity.info and eng.info.

I wouldn't accept anything more than $10 per domain. Especially if these were all registered by moniker that belongs to the same company group.

It seems that snapnames found a way to make some money out of nothing.
Are all these domains registered on one registrar?
Ask them to delete them all and you will pay for the deletion fee.
That...

@Dorkside
As I wrote in my post, I wouldn't hold my breath for a proper reply from Snapnames.
They made an announcement about the new support and the new hours but the reply in 24-48 hours and...

"network outages" means it was not directly Moniker's fault.
Give me a break. At least at Godaddy they had the dignity to admit they screwed up.

Every time I had problems with moniker in the past...

Who the f cares about TLD's that are not open?
How the do these TLD's come into a comparison for an open TLD? Only in your mind.

I didn't reply 5 paragraphs about .info. Are you ok?

I ma not...

I am surprised as to what you are saying...
Are you really a domainer? Sorry but also every thing you write as fact is WRONG.

How can you compare .name with .xxx?
"Originally registrations had...

I never said what my sales were. And I never took your post out of context because you talked about domain sales and I talked about domain sales too.

It was you that said that my sales were...

What will happen? Do you have a crystal ball?
What will happen to .com when all these new TLDs come out next year?

If you can't compare money with money then yes clearly domain sales don't compare...
Yes they were end users who initiated contact.
Bu who cares if domains are brandable or not? Really...

Who said anything about resellers? I have sold maybe 2 domains to resellers in the past 5 years.

Sales are sales, no matter what the domains are. I don't know what you sold and you don't know what...

Nobody was knocking on the door asking for .info or .us 10 years ago.
Wait 5-10 years and then we will talk again about .xxx.

My sales from the last 45 days: 1 .com, 1 .org, 3 .info, 1.us (All sales are for 1500 Euro and up)
Does this prove that .info sell more than .com? Of course not.
Does this prove that having more of...

John when was the last time that the moniker interface and back system was upgraded?
My wild guess is 2005.

I can think about 50 ccTLDs that are very successful. Not everything is about US. (or domaining)
.de .co.uk .it .es .gr .ru .fr .fi etc...

.it is around for nearly 25 years and is no 1 in Italy....

.cc is the ccTLD for Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They have very small population and tried to market it like "credir card" TLD and failed.
.it is Italy's ccTLD with millions of population and...

John when was the last time that the moniker interface and back system was upgraded?

It works for me.

.tel was released March 2009.
I am not familiar with .tel prices but the registration and renewal prices for a .xxx suggests that the TLD was not designed for mass registration.
You are going to...

If you are asking if I am making in PPC the cost of renewals, then no.

John when was the last time that the moniker interface and back system was upgraded?

Dynadot or enom

I have a few. Some get constant traffic.

Yes, it's not the link.
DomainGang is down.

Good decision. Sorkin strikes again.

Thanks to all. Looking forward to new things to come.

Theo you sure have been busier than me!

My god, I was so busy I forgot.
It is 10 years since 21st of July 2002, the day I joined dnforum!
I feel ancient... :)

I would like to thank everybody in the forum.
I learned so much in here....

Moniker is broken.
I don't what needs to happen so that all domainers realize that and leave moniker.

No work on the systems and infrastructure has been made since Monte first sold Moniker.
Only temporary bug fixes. And things do brake down after years have passed.

.com?

$0

I order domains a month before and godaddy doesn't even attemt to reg.
Handreggers at godaddy get the domains easily.

Theo Pool gets beaten even by APIs and hand registrations.

I don't buy .ca so I wouldn't know. I sure know that they don't even try to catch .info .biz and .us anymore.

Is pool still in the catching business?
I mean they don't catch anything unless it is some ridiculous name nobody wants.
They have become worse than godaddy.
What is going on?

Nice aged .info from 2001.

Inquiries are easy. I get 10s.
Sales are harder. But again there is some correlation between inquiries and sales so you might be right.

Raider, what TLD are you referring at?

Thanks.
So Quick Content has similar nameservers are the hosting ones. Interesting.
Has anybody tested Quick Content?
