I don't know. But I see it misleading to do that.

Erm... I fail to see how registering a domain name thats slightly different from someone elses is 'smart' thinking.

I mean, its a very common trick!

:rolleyes:

Being close to a familiar store is common in the 3d world. Ever noticed that certain stores always seem to spring up close to others; you can almost count on it. In the web world the only way to be close is by the URL. I think it is OK as long as it is obvious which store (site) you are in. I further think that the rackshak guy did it right. Notice that he/she is not even pushing servers, does not attempt to look like rackshack. This is OK in my book.

dont talk about rackshak.net

They dont even own www.rackshack.com .
rackshack dot com is not even selling servers, guess what they are selling Banana Kayaks in Honolulu. They even have this large picture of 4 kayak geeks on the frontpage.

You are wrong, Rackshack(the rackshack we know) were beaten by the kayak nerds to getting it, so they settled for .net instead.
