Comments on: Your May Not To Get To Use Your .CM Domains Until 2010 http://www.thedomains.com/2009/07/18/your-may-not-to-get-to-use-your-cm-domains-until-2010/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:38:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bryan http://www.thedomains.com/2009/07/18/your-may-not-to-get-to-use-your-cm-domains-until-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-17422 Bryan Wed, 05 Aug 2009 14:57:17 +0000 http://www.thedomains.com/?p=4313#comment-17422 I won't be bidding on the handful of names I preordered through NameJet. Although I am not a fan of the dotCM extension, I did hope to get a couple of names I could use for my business... now after reading all this, and not being able to get any answers why the auctions haven't started yet (they were scheduled to start 8-4) I will bow out and let others have the names.

Just because a fully automated service to change the DNS isn't in place does not mean you cannot change it. Take a look at .COM.VN for example and how much they charge for DNS update, and it is also not instant. Also .NL charges for DNS updates and many more... Your headline is misleading.

Country codes are governed by local law.

Cameroon. What a great place to do business. After they sell off all the TM infringing and scummy typo traffic domains for big bucks, they will nationalize all the domains and take them from the registrants. You can file for a refund with the government of Cameroon. Of course you will have to appear in person and file some papers... Think it can't happen? Good luck with your investment. Ah. Cameroon.

Managing a registry dns operation should not be that difficult. And, since the domains are going for more than a few dollars, I don't think the registry is losing money. If I'm buying a new car, I really don't want to accept a few flaws like turning on the wiper blades so the head lights turn on. The registry operations has a major flaw. What is wrong when the registry is not cooperative? This is not brain surgery. Managing a registry dns operation should not be that difficult.

Its nice they are going to make a system where you can change the DNS yourself soon. This is one of the reasons why they never fully launched the tld. I had never gotten a .cm before but I had applied for a few in the past at times when It seemed like I could get one. On the application you had to list your nameservers. Back then I listed the DNS servers of XPertDNS.com, which allowed me to make most of the changes neccessray there. Funny thing is I never actually got awarded a .cm on any of my applications, and now that I could go for one and probably get it, I'm not really interested after all that. Whenever I sent in the apps it would cost about double what they are charging now, and I would always be put into some sort of holding/waiting period. After like 6 months of waiting I would usually just get a refund for my fee and give up. .cm has always been like this.
