dotMobi compliance program

.Mobi (dotMobi) will begin enforcing their Premium Name Compliance Program in September. Previously, when a .Mobi domain name was won at auction through Sedo or GoDaddy, winners had six months to build a mobile website. The truth was that most dotMobi owners did not build a website within the 6 month timeframe, let a lone have a .mobi parking page.

.Mobi will now enforce their compliance program and if owners do not comply, they risk their domain being taken from them, without a refund. The program should force development of .mobi websites, therefore, increasing the value of all .mobi domains when they are active. If you think you might be interested in the .mobi domain craze, we suggest you use our domain coupons for 10% off .mobi domains.

China bans GoDaddy

GoDaddy, the leading domain registrar and hosting solution, has been blocked by the Chinese government in the country. The speculation is that it is related to the Beijing Olympics. The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) stated that the government has banned the issuing of domain names with the “.cn” suffix based on China’s gold medal-winning athletes to anyone but the athletes themselves. It “strongly advised” for anyone who had an athletes domain name, to turn over the domain to the athlete as “a gift”.

Getting back on track, the speculation for why GoDaddy is involved, is that the Chinese government cannot force anyone, nor retrieve the domain with its own efforts, if the domain has been registered with an outside domain registrar such as GoDaddy. Therefore until the olympic games are over, we will assume that internet users in China will not be able to access the site.

Let us know by leaving a comment when/if you hear anything further on the issue or when you know the ban is lifted.

GoDaddy Unlimited Email

GoDaddy, the largest domain registrar and web hosting provider launched GoDaddy Unlimited Email as a result to the ongoing growth of email boxes. Web analysts estimate the number of email boxes will reach two billion worldwide in 2010, representing an increase of more than 297% percent in ten years. To accommodate this increasing need for storage space, GoDaddy is offering its Unlimited Email plan to provide customers unlimited storage for mailboxes.

Prior to the announcement Go Daddy’s hosting plans include free email accounts, though only 100MB of storage space. Customers who were looking for additional storage were forced to purchase one of the company’s paid email plans; though the Deluxe plan only offered up to 2GB of storage space and 5 mailboxes. The new GoDaddy Unlimited Email plan, at $29.99/year, provides customers with a greater value offering unlimited storage and up to 10 mailboxes, the domain registrar firmly believes.

The Unlimited Email plan is accompanied by additional tools such as access to Online File Folder for files and pictures, and Calendar, with the option to keep private or shared with others. GoDaddy’s CEO Bob Parsons believes this will keep Go Daddy competitive in email storage space, having just a week ago celebrated the announcement of GoDaddy’s SSL market share.
