I have quite a few domains with them...its a bit of a concern :| lottos 10-31-2006, 01:59 AM domain cost comparison if you are interested: http://www.whatsinaname.com.au/ Segey 10-31-2006, 03:47 AM domain cost comparison if you are interested: http://www.whatsinaname.com.au/ What a huge difference between 27$ and 140$, what could make people go for Melbournу IT? Top notch support? dannyy 10-31-2006, 04:53 AM lottos (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/member.php?u=14029), have you got your own domains there? If yes, what are they? lottos 10-31-2006, 07:03 PM dannyy, do you mean at netregistry.com.au ? if so, no way would I go through them. I recall years ago when they were selling .au.com domains... (yes, .au.com not .com.au !)... that was enough for me to stear clear. anon-e-mouse 10-31-2006, 07:56 PM Moved to the domain forum. Stan Marsh 11-01-2006, 02:42 AM what could make people go for Melbournу IT? Top notch support? It's MelbournE IT. ;) I don't think they have 'top notch' (if any at all) support. I remember dealing with them as one big nightmare. Sure, somebody else could have different experiences... lynette11 11-03-2006, 12:55 AM Netregistry and particulary MelbourneIt are too expensive. MelbourneIt used literally own the market in Australia until the TLD's were opened up to market forces. The prices dropped from $000's to under $40 today. I tell all my clients to keep away from the above two. Netregistry's extras are a ripp-off. Lyn stub 11-03-2006, 12:59 AM you can get AUD45 .com.au registrations a dotable.com crdr 11-04-2006, 11:02 AM Melb..IT Will never ever deal with them again and warn my clients that I wont admin doms that they have with Melb..IT crdr 11-04-2006, 11:10 AM Melb....IT also allowed the registration of a .com.au domain matching one of my clients TRADEMARKS in australia by a company not entitled to said domain name !!!!! Stan Marsh 11-04-2006, 11:13 AM Melb....IT also allowed the registration of a .com.au domain matching one of my clients TRADEMARKS in australia by a company not entitled to said domain name !!!!! Trust me, registrar could care less about the trademarks. They will suspend domain only if the court order is received to this effect. crdr 11-04-2006, 08:30 PM Hi Stan Trust me, registrar could care less about the trademarks. They will suspend domain only if the court order is received to this effect. I was always under the impression that .com.au couldnt be awarded unless buyer proved he had ownership rights to that name (be it business name, trading name, patents or trademarks). As far as I am aware, the 'current owners' dont. Anyway, my clients Patent Attorney is seeking a court injunction - an expensive process from what I am hearing. ouch. ;) |
