That is hilarious. I got a 'not found' when I was writing the post and thought 'that's impossible'. Took half a dozen looks before I realised I'd typed coco-cola.com.au

Apart from information (by which I mean news, social media, search, etc), most of what we do in life is geographically referenced. The original ccTLD scheme is surely the most relevant and useful in everyday use, but this also explains why the .london, .nyc and .berlin gTLDs have been so popular...

hero.zero?

I was initially sceptical, but after reading up a bit, I realised these changes won't affect my use of the Internet in any way, at least as I understand them. I won't see the full URL unless I go looking for it, but does that really matter? I would imagine most people don't look at the address...

I would say the opposite. Instead of scammers benefiting from using: scamsite.com/westpac.com.au/really-secure-page.php All the browser will see is: scamsite.com So your aging relatives (who are particularly at risk from scamming) won't see any reference to 'Westpac.com.au' or whatever bank...

Nothing's changed? mydomain.com.au/page=12 will still go to the same page. All your links will still point to this URL, and you can still type this into the address bar to get to the bar. Presumably, Google will still use the URL as some measure of what the page is about, too. The only thing...

You can still access the URL, and you can still use it to navigate to specific pages, you just won't see the full URL in the address bar all the time. I don't see how this changes how you'd develop sites or navigation or URLs? Browsers, etc, will still need unique addresses to access specific...

Hmmm...I didn't like the sound of this when I first heard it, but, the more I think about it, the more I ask myself "how often do I actually look at the address bar in a day?". Not often, I've decided. Presumably, you'll still be able to type the domain name or URL into the bar to navigate, you...

Hi All, Just wanted a quick straw poll on whether people have an opinion on the preferred tense of domain names (assuming the same domain extension). E.g. which is better: paint painting painter painted -or- buy buying buyer bought You might immediately think that 'paint' or 'buy' was better...

How is Nominet dealing with the situation where one organisation owns the co.uk, another owns plc.uk, another owns org.uk, another the me.uk, etc, etc?

Doesn't this just move the problem? Won't this just give AuDA two 'second teir' 2LDs (com.au and net.au) to deal with, or are you suggesting these are closed? What do you then do for the two existing 2LDs when they're owned by different organisations? And what about those organisations that...

Hi all, I made my first post the other day about the $1 net.au registrations without even introducing myself, so I apologise if anyone wondered who I was! I've been running my own online businesses (eCommerce and professional services mainly) in the UK, US, Canada & Australia for the last 15...

Further to what I've said above (apologies if I'm rambling), but once you convince Joe the Plumber that joesplumbing.net.au is better than joesplumbingsydney.com.au, he (Joe) becomes part of the army of people that start to reinforce the notion that net.au is of equal value to com.au. He does...

Some registrars are now offering $0 net.au registrations, presumably taking the $1 hit up front in the hope that they'll make a tidy sum in renewals down the track, but I totally agree with @elbranch - even at the lofty price of $25 at registration and every two years thereafter - price is not a...
