A Biker's Domain

.ES
Spain's Domain

Well, I'm having a bit of fun watching the ruckus as the registry for the .ES country code top level domain (ccTLD) opens up the extension for anyone to reg. As expected, the landrush is frustrating the heck out of the participants (I'm not in yet) even though us old hands warned them about all the pitfalls. You know it's got to be rigged every way but Friday. I'm sure Bribes are common, and fraud of course just like in the .info rollouts. Heck, I'd be interested in participating if I felt the thing wasn't "fixed". I see some of the guys reporting that their credit cards have been hit for big bucks for "pre-reg" fees way over and above what they had ok'd. Reminds me of the $thousands I lost to unscrupulous registrars (mostly foreign) in the previous extension landrushes. Some registrars are probably just taking large $fees and probably won't bother to even submit 1 name. Happened in the .info release. Well, I'm going to submit for only 2 names tomorrow directly thru the registry just to see what happens. Best check their time difference. Bets that I won't get the names? Will let you know.
