    Domain Meets for Canadians | meet.dn.ca

    There was actually one year where I went to Toronto with Sedo during Collision to meet with some folks that were attending at the same time. I kinda like the idea.

    If we can set a date, place, max amount of people and registration deadline, I might be able to locate my old domainer dinner mailing list and spread the word a bit more.

    What happens to dropped .com's at WHC?

    Less than 1% of our client's domains are left at OpenSRS/eNom. New registrations and transfers go through our own registrar.

    What happens to dropped .com's at WHC?

    Dynadot has its marketplace that includes its expiring domains. WHC should be fine for you too, as we do not have any domain drop partnership, and I'm not very inclined to partner with either.

    What happens to dropped .com's at WHC?

    I just saw this now. Are you asking because you're interested in dropping a domain at WHC or for your own domains? What would you like to see as a preferred process? At the moment, most dropped .COM domains (and gTLDs) at WHC go through the normal drop process and are released for...

    .in Registry is killing the great cctld.

    They are adding their own fair share of restrictions and requirements to international registrars that can't really be fulfilled easily or are worth the effort... Recently they were also going to forbid registrants to use Pronton Mail for their email addresses.... I'm considering no longer...

    WHC client area sped up

    Thank you for the feedback, Wayne. It was mostly optimizing the db queries at this point and a bit more trickery. But we will also see if we can lighten the load on the client side a bit going forward. We're also making some changes to our general infrastructure that can help as well on the...

    WHC client area sped up

    FYI: For those of you with larger numbers of domains at WHC, one of our great developers took out some time to optimize performance for our WHC (new) client area. We still have some items left to look at on our end, but in my testing the performance for loading the listing of domains has...

    https://dn.ca/data/avatars/s/0/4.jpg?1656523472@MapleDots Please try resending the confirmation - it should get through now, as SPF has been aligned, but we're still trying to fix a DKIM issue. In my test it got to my gmail account.

    I think WHC confirmation emails may be getting stuck at gmail

    The new CIRA survey misses the mark

    I found the questions interesting where you were asked about the CIRA membership and what to expect from it. While communication with other CIRA members was an item there, CIRA doesn't provide a forum for that, other than maybe during the board elections.

    Private Name Server Question

    CIRA won't let you use the same IP for both nameservers, so you'd need an extra IP. But generally speaking it's not good practice to run the DNS servers on the same server either way. As for the general ability to run private nameservers on our hosting, I've checked with our team, and this is...
