Don’t Trust Me

by on Jul.22, 2009, under News

 LLLL.com: I’ve written about domain name security in the past and what to look for in a domain name registrar.

Why Do New Domainers Always Think “They Know”?

by on Jul.21, 2009, under News

 LLLL.com: Another silly thread on Namepros about the new domain name extensions: the future is often a coin toss for even the sharpest domainers… Why do new domainers so often think they know the answer?

Pirate Bay buyer has cold feet?
