Domains & DNS: August 2007 Archives
Over the last few months there has been news about a new data centre opening in Limerick.
They're meant to be giving a brief talk at the next INEX meeting in Dublin...
So why on earth are they using "domain privacy" on their only domain name?
Nobody serious is going to do business with a company that doesn't list proper contact details in WHOIS. It would be silly to do so. Of course if they were serious about the Irish market you'd think they'd have registered the .ie domain...
Maybe they'll turn out to be a wonderful company, but they really need to get some of the basic right from the start.

I meant to mention this a couple of days ago ...
There's an email doing the rounds at present from Euro Business Guide.
Make sure you read the small print - over 900 euro for an entry!
Curses!
Business + weddings + shiny laptops = not having enough time to write
Anyhow ...
Fergal O'Byrne has posted to the IIA's blog about the squatters I mentioned elsewhere
The podcamp Ireland site looks fantastic and unlike so many of these *camp sites they seem to be actually using it to provide useful content that is related to the event but not totally centred on it. Go read it to see what I mean.
I posted this last night on my domain site.
I'm not sure if RTE make available the radio shows as easy downloads (their site seems to be a bit of a mess at the moment), so if you didn't grab the interview when you could you'll have to rely on 3rd party reporting
It looks like hardcore porn is hitting the IE namespace.
Although it is not possible to register porn.ie the domain orn.ie has been registered and if you add a "p" you get p.orn.ie, which is now serving hardcore adult content. (Definitely NOT safe for work!)
Interestingly enough the site is actually hosted in Ireland as well.
Today's Sunday Times covers the EUBrowser squatters in some detail. I posted about it on my domain blog.
The thing that concerns me is that, apart from the squatting itself why is the Irish tax payer helping these guys out?
