Re: Cheap .biz registrars?

    Hi Collette,
    Funny you should mention it - I just got the e-mail from DirectNIC about
them.
http://www.directnic.com/?5204
    They say:
    ".BIZ domains are now available for public registration at directNIC.
.BIZ
domain names work the same as .com, .net, or .org domains. However, there
is currently a minimum two-year registration requirement for all .BIZ
domains. The cost is $15 per year per domain.
directNIC.com's Linguatron domain search engine has been updated to help
you find the best .BIZ domains. directNIC has also updated all of its other
services, including free hosting, free domain redirection and free email
forwarding, to support .BIZ domains.
-->  .BIZ Background Information <--
.BIZ is one of the new top level domain extensions recently approved by
ICANN. It is the world's first Internet-based environment dedicated
exclusively to the business community. It promises to be much more than
just another domain name. In addition to providing businesses with an
enhanced presence on the Web, the .BIZ database platform is able to provide
services that more efficiently facilitate commerce across the Internet.
Simply put, .BIZ means business.
The .BIZ domain can only be used for a "bona fide business or commercial
use". A bona fide business use is one of the following:
1.  to exchange goods, services, or property of any kind;
2.  in the ordinary course of trade or business; or
3.  to facilitate (i) the exchange of goods, services, information,  or
property of any kind; or, (ii) the ordinary course of trade or business
Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading
or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited
offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation does not
constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name.
For illustration purposes, the following do not constitute a "bona fide
business or commercial use" of a domain name:
1.  using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for personal,
noncommercial purposes; or
2.  using or intending to use the domain name exclusively for the
expression of noncommercial ideas (i.e., registering abcsucks.BIZ
exclusively to criticize or otherwise express an opinion on the products or
services of ABC company, with no other intended business or commercial
purpose)." http://www.directnic.com/?5204
