The Domain Name GameWritten by Jason Shpik
Continued from page 1
NSI continues to assign domain names, but now they are just one of many domain name registrars. All of these registrars assign names on a first-come, first-served basis, and do not do any checking before assigning a new domain name. Because of increasing popularity of Internet, companies have realized that having a domain name that is same as their company name or name of one of their products can be an extremely valuable part of establishing an Internet presence. When a company finds that domain name corresponding to their corporate name or product trademark is owned by someone else, company can either choose a different name or fight to get domain name back from its current owners. When a dispute over a domain name occurs, parties can always turn to courts. While courts and judges have authority to award control and ownership over domain names, judicial process is notoriously slow. Consequently, many parties have avoided courts and turned to domain name dispute policies of domain name registrars. In response to intense lobbying from trademark owners and famous individuals, Congress passed Anticyber-squatting Consumer Protection Act in November of 1999. This act made it easier for individuals and companies to take over domain names that are confusingly similar to their names or valid trademarks. To do so, however, they must establish that domain name holder acted in bad faith. One portion of this Act related to famous individuals. This portion allows individuals to file a civil action against anyone who registers their name as a second level domain name for purpose of selling domain name for a profit. The more general portion of statute protects companies against persons who, in bad faith, register a domain name that is same or confusingly similar to an existing trademark.Submitted by HostingChecker.com - for help on all your hosting needs. http://www.hostingchecker.com Article may be republished if this portion is not removed.

possibility of upgrading to another plan without any penalties or fees. To find out how much space and bandwidth you will need, first determine how many sites you are likely to host, how many pages each site may have, and how many visits will those sites most likely have. If you plan to host 10 sites with 20 pages each, at an average of 50KB per page and 100 page views per site per day, you will need 10MB of space (10 x 20 x 50KB) and 1.5GB of bandwidth per month (10 x 100 x 50KB x 30). As far as pricing is concerned, there are reseller accounts costing as little as $10 / month up to several hundreds (or even thousands). It all depends on your requirements and hosting company you choose, so shop around to get best possible deal in terms of cost and reliability.
