News, Resources, Reviews

GoDaddy Uses Standard Tactics To Warehouse Domains

News, Oddly Enough, Thoughts
I found this really great article that I am about to share here. Robin Wauters TechCrunch.com Wednesday, December 3, 2008; 8:52 PM Having working in the domain name industry myself for a couple of years, I've always been intrigued by the fact that there's such a big business formed around something as trivial as a bunch of letters and numbers used to 'translate' IP addresses. And when there's a big business in something, you just know there will be a grey area as well where ethics are left at the door sometimes.
