• You pay for domain name, Dreamhost register it for itself

  Friday, February 22nd, 2008

  If you have domain names registered with Dreamhost ( New Dream Network LLC), take care that you can be in the same situation as me, having more domain names with Dreamhost, trying to transfer it to another registrar, and losing the domain names because they do not answer to you.
  I was [...]

  The hope to get back my domain names registered with Dreamhost and for which I am the registrant, still a dream, after 11 days. The only answer to my request for an authorization code to transfer the domain names to another registrar, is an answer from February 7th, 2008: “Your [...]

• Dreamhost, the nightmare web hosting and domain name registration service

  Sunday, February 10th, 2008

  Shortly: some years ago I started to use the Dreamhost web hosting service and now, after they closed my accounts without a reason, they refuse to charge back my money and to get me access to the domain names I registered with them.
  It was ok at the beginning, some years ago. [...]

• Testing the front running practice with Network Solutions

  Thursday, January 10th, 2008

  I red about the practice of Network Solutions to register every name looked-up via their registration-site WHOIS, but I couldn’t believe it, so I tested it myself.

  I tried it with the whois at register.com (that I trust and I always use): the domain name was available.

• Domain tasting and ICANN’s Report

  Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
