[cobalt-users] Using .biz domains now.

["Tim M. Muldoon" <muldoon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happy Holidays,

Has anybody configured their server to use the .biz extension using the ORSC
root zone? It allows you to view 'normal' TLD's plus about 50 others now in
use including .biz.

The instructions for upgrading your DNS can be found here, one set for 'Unix
using /etc/resolv.conf' and one for 'Unix using cache'.

I have registered several .biz domains ($6 USD each) and would like to have
them up and running before the legal battle for the extension gets into full
swing.

'Atlantic Root said in its motion [with the Commerce Department] that the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has no right to
award the .biz registry to another company because Atlantic Root has been
licensing .biz addresses since May of this year...'

I see a hosting opportunity here, I haven't seen anyone else offering to
host these domains except the company that is registering them, they are
charging $32.75 a month.

Any thoughts or experience on doing this would be greatly appreciated.
