What should i do @ about it? @ If you want to start a new Top Level Domain, you might want to review http://www.edns.net. For the eDNS system, you will need to contact one of the 5 (last count) Registration Authorities. The eDNS Root Name Server operators get their direction from the RAs. If you want to register in the .XXX Top Level Domain then you need to visit the registry just as you would with the InterNIC. Here are some of the operational registries: @@@@@ http://www.alternic.net/domains/quick_form/ .LNX - Linux Systems .LTD - Limited .MED - Medical .NIC - Network Information Center .XXX - Adult @@@@@ http://www.mcs.net/nic/domain-register.html .CORP - For Corporations (Commercial) .NPO - Not-for-Profit Organizations .K12 - For people under the age of 18 .BIZ - General Business Use @@@@@ http://webtld.com/ .WEB - Web Sites @@@@@ http://www.agn.net/EARTH-DOMAIN.html .EARTH - General @@@@@ http://www.agn.net/USA-DOMAIN.html .USA - General @@@@@ http://www.higgs.net/hanic/reg/ .NEWS - News services, etc. @@@@@ http://www.iperdome.com/rpdn.htm .PER - Personal Domain Names @@@@@@@@@@@@@ By the way, some of the registries such as http://Register.A.Mall and the .CORP registry are developing "channel partner" marketing programs so that you can share in the revenue, thus making the TLD effectively shared even though one company has to handle the key entry of the names and ensure the inegrity of the data. -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation http://www.Unir.Corp Check out...http://Register.A.Mall
