But when the marketing department of a multinational starts inventing domain names you have to wonder what they're at!
Chris from Sensorpro spotted a Dell advert publicising dell.co.ie I suspect someone got Ireland and the UK confused, as we don't have a co.ie extension!
In fact, if you try to get either you will see:
% Error - Two letter domain are not permitted by IEDR Registration Policies.And here's the banner image (click to enlarge) :

Hosting365 have announced that they've sold Register365, which is their shared hosting and domains business to Namesco a UK provider.
So now Ireland's largest provider is no longer Irish. According to the press release Hosting365 are going to focus on their managed services.
What does that mean for the Irish hosting market?
It could be interesting times ahead, as Novara was already swallowed up by Irish Telco Digiweb earlier this year.
Are there more acquistions and sales in the pipeline?

Since I run several sites that deal with domains and the internet industry in general I seem to have been targetted by TodayNic's comment and forum spammers. Over the past year or so I've had to remove multiple spam comment attacks from several sites.
It's annoying. Very annoying.
However it's even more annoying when they have the gall to demand that I remove a post I made last year about their spam.
Considering they're still spamming from what I've seen in the last few weeks I can think of no good reason to remove any posts where I've referred to Todaynic's spam.
Someone claiming to be "Chris" from Todaynic left a comment on another one of my blogs at around 3am this morning.
Damn - two Blacknight related posts in the one morning ....

While I was away over the last few days in London that does not mean that I was either out of "the loop" or that emails didn't stop arriving!
