If not yet, then here it is.

Recently, numerous reports have noted that the Canadian Internet Registration Authority has proposes a new standard for the domain name whois privacy. In their proposal, it is considered that the new policy for domain name whois privacy will provide all the dot- owners with an enhanced domain name whois privacy safeguards, bringing the domain name whois privacy policy in line with the currently enacted laws.

Today, the new proposed domain name whois standard becomes the hottest subject of a general public consultation. And this domain name whois policy will see the CIRA to pursue in collecting complete information from dot-ca domain name owners, however, it will create only a little amount of the details that are available to the general public in its web-based domain name directory.

Along with such introduction, the Canadian Internet Registration Authority itself have assumed that this new domain name whois standard will ensure greater privacy protection barriers under the dot-ca regime than are recently accessible with so many other internet domains just like the dot-com. In some reports about this matter proposed by the CIRA, it is noted that the president of the CEO of CIRA had mentioned that this new standard for the domain name and whois privacy is all about protecting the people's fundamental right to privacy in the virtual reality. Along with that statement, the president of the CEO of CIRA also mentioned that since the internet is a wonderful and transformative force, it is then right to take some great care to ensure that such dimension serves the people, and not the other way around.

With such main reason for introducing this new standard for the domain name whois privacy, the group further maintains that this policy then sets a new standard among the internet domains. And in particular, the new standard for domain name whois privacy states that for those who register a dot-ca domain name, it is only the domain name, registrar's name, registration date, "last change" date, notice about adjustments in status of the domain name and server IP numbers/names will be accessible through whois. It further holds that the policy for organizations with dot-ca designations will not be changed, so the same date will continue to be accessible through whois. And lastly, the new policy holds that CIRA will pursue to ensure that all registration data is available to law enforcement agencies.

Well, the domain name Whois search and query are just some of the common terms that the world of domain name carries. So for those who are not really familiar with these two terms, the domain name Whois search and the domain name , here are some facts for you.

In particular, the term "Whois" actually stands for a database of for . It is essentially a tool that is commonly applied to search information for a domain name.

Now that you have an idea about the term "Whois", the next thing to consider is the nature of the domain name Whois search, and then the domain name Whois query. So according to some resources, the domain name Whois search is typically a means to search for domain name . Speaking of the domain name contact information, it is interesting to know that the contact information may vary depending on the domain name registrar and the such as .com, ..net, .org, .info, .biz, .us, and .uk.

Generally, the domain name contact information for the domain name holder and the administrator will be displayed through the domain name Whois search. Along with that, it is just very necessary to ensure that the contact information is appropriate when engaging in the domain name Whois search, otherwise the desired domain name will remain invalid. Also necessary is to know that domain names that are registered within the last 48 hours may not be shown in a domain name Whois search. So if such happens that no contact information is given for a desired domain name, you must not assume that the domain name is accessible. But you don't need to worry at all for there are services that grant you to check the accessibility of the desired domain names.

On the hand, when it comes to the domain name Whois query, you should note that the domain name Whois query is a homogeneous means of getting hold of contact information from a registrar's or registry's database. It is considered that before, when there was a sole domain name registrar, the domain name Whois query would display the domain name holder and the other contacts for a registered domain name. But as time goes by, the domain name Whois query against a registry's database determines the domain name registrar and the name servers for a certain domain name that is mentioned in the query. And the query against a domain name registrar's database, on the other hand, determines the domain name holder as well as the contacts that are connected with it.

Unlike the domain name Whois search, there is a great possibility that the domain name is available even if the query does not give the domain name. In fact, it is given that is a domain name is not located in a registry's database, then the name is probably available, and if the domain name is not located in a registrar's database, it simply means that the name is not being managed by that certain name registrar.

So whatever the case may be, both the domain name Whois search and query play a large role in finding the domain name and thus they contribute a great part in the domain names industry.

Or maybe someone is prank calling you and you want them to stop. Perhaps a telemarketer won't stop calling despite your pleas to be left alone. Or maybe you suspect your husband and wife is cheating and you see a on his or her cell phone.

may be, you will most likely end up using a lookup service. These paid services can research any telephone number and provide you with a full phone report including the owner's name, address, connection status, type of phone line, and other details.

But before you spend money on these services let me tell you about a free method for . Just go to Google, Yahoo, or MSN, enter the telephone number, and click "search".

You may have to experiment a bit to get the right results. Try entering the number both in quotes and out of quotes, and try different number formats including:

777-777-7777

7777777777

(777)777-7777

While this method is free, it is not the most reliable. You have to hope that the owner posted his or her number somewhere on a website, forum, or blog such as MySpace. Also, keep in mind that the results are not guaranteed and could be outdated or outright incorrect.

Of course, it can't hurt to try since it's not costing you anything.

But if you strike out with the search engine method, your is a service. While they aren't free, the cost is pretty fair for the amount of information provided and the time saved. It would cost hundreds of dollars to pay a private investigator to collect all of the information in a typical phone report, but online services can offer you the same detailed information for around $14 per number. Also, some services will let you pay a one-time fee (usually around $39-59) for the right to run as many phone number searches as you want.

Why do they charge for the lookup service? Well first of all that's their business. If you were able to provide such a valuable service would you just give it away?

Also, the lookup services themselves are charged for each search they run. This is because their searches involve submitting a query to the databases of various telephone companies and cell phone carriers. The carriers charge the lookup service a fee each time the need to access the database for a search, so the lookup service has to pass along the cost to you. If they didn't they'd quickly find themselves out of business.

For this reason, there is no such thing as a free reverse phone number lookup service. They just don't exist. And if you see a lookup service promising "free" results, use caution. They are either using deceptive marketing to lure you in or they are teasing you with a free search in hopes that you'll pay for another of their services.

There was even legislation regarding it. The telephone department was not to let out any personal information on the basis of the phone numbers only. But the times have changed a lot. Now we have the concept of reverse search. What it exactly means is that with the help of just a phone number you can find out all the personal information of a person that is available in the . You may get his registered name and address instantly along with other information, including in a lot of cases the person's criminal background.

There are many online services which provide reverse number lookup for small fee. You may find it unbelievable but for around $25 you may get the personal information which is available in public records like his criminal and civil cases, marriage and divorce details. With a few clicks and a few dollars you can find out about anyone's drunken driving arrests, his birth and adoption records, bankruptcy details, his family history, his and many other interesting stuff!.... The list is exhaustive and scary! You can do all this anonymously, without the other person getting any wind of your probing.

Reverse number lookup is actually a and a curse. It is a boon for employers and of course for all those love struck Romeos who are not getting any response from their lady loves. However, the telesales people and the salespersons are having a field day going through the available personal information and following up with incessant phone calls. You may be in the middle of a luxurious shower or an important business meeting and suddenly your only to be offered a " especially for you"! Fuming you slam the phone and wonder at the same time "How did she get my number?" Well, so now you know the culprit is the reverse number lookup service!

In this case, "culprit" is the person who owns that telephone number that keeps calling your number, or that number somebody gave to you the night before (but you only realize there's no name on it the day after).

It doesn't matter if it is a telephone number or a cell phone number. Most people think that the detective work can all be done if they just do a free on unidentified numbers. However, the fact is, you can rarely get a free service of that type, and just like when you're hiring a private detective, you need to pay. Thankfully, the cost of a is much less than the cost of hiring a PI.

So if you've been at the receiving of a prank call, reverse lookups are something to go for.

In both cases of landline and cell phone, it's not that easy to trace a number. The have it easier -- they just choose random names in the directory and make the call (you if you're unlucky). With a reverse lookup, you need to match a specific number to a specific name -- something not very easy to do especially because, in the case of landline directories, the entries are listed by names.

Reverse lookup companies are not at all hard to find. Just search for the words "reverse lookup" and you will find results. In many cases depending on the company, you will be asked to pay a one-time payment for an unlimited number of searches. But the fees shouldn't make a big hole in your pocket. Average fees are in the range of $39 to 59.

A typical search result would yield in the owner's name, location, address telephone company. Other companies provide expanded information like the background of the owner and his or her records.

Of course, there are other ways that you can do a reverse lookup. They are free but they would cost more in time and in most cases it becomes a hit or miss situation. One thing you can do is search for the number on search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN. If the number has been entered into one of the indexed websites, you should be able to find some leads on who has been calling, if not find the matching name to the number during the first search.

Another thing that you can do is to sign up with a free cell phone directories, but the information you'll find there are those that have been volunteered by the members. To access these websites, you have to register for free and, of course, volunteer your name and cell phone number.

All things being considered, the sheer accuracy of information and the extensive database should tip the balance in favor of paid reverse lookups. The small fee charged to do a reverse lookup is more than worth it.david shell is an attorney, and founder of trace cell phone numbera website dedicated to help people track down the owners ofunlisted cell phone numbers and more.]]> The Many Ways to Track a Cell Phone Number Owner http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-many-ways-to-track-a-cell-phone-number-owner http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-many-ways-to-track-a-cell-phone-number-owner#comments Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:29:20 +0000 cell phone subscribersfree reverse lookupphone number ownerglow in the dark condomsphone service providerscell phone service providerscell phone service http://www.artwoo.com/article/the-many-ways-to-track-a-cell-phone-number-owner phone number owner, there are really just three things you can do: (A) answer the phone when the number calls you, (B) hire a private detective to pose as a telemarketer for glow-in-the-dark condoms, or (C) use a reverse lookup company for mobile, telephone, or cellular numbers.

Of course, all solutions are based on the scenario that you're being stalked by a loose-screwed psycho with a cell phone number that's not on your contact list. Using solution A can tricky, as the caller might just hang up on you the moment you answer your call or worse, do a Hollywood-esque spiel like "I know WHO you did last summer..."

On the other hand, tracking by hiring a private detector is going to cost you a lot of money. And really now, detective agencies rarely have the knack for effective telesales calls.

A reverse lookup thus far is the most effective strategy you can take on. There are many reverse lookup companies on the Internet. Many of them are very good companies -- the main downside to them is the price. Some charge as high as $25 per search. Other websites, meanwhile, charge a one-time fee -- some as high as $59.

You can try looking for a company tracker. Chances are, you'll be like most Internet users -- you don't where to find them or you refuse to believe that they exist. In most cases, you might yourself hopping from one free reverse lookup service to another -- hoping to find something that is perfectly legit and with an extensive database of numbers.

The common belief is that you won't be able to find a very good free service on the Internet - for a very good reason. Cell privately keep the database of their subscribers. It's like they're holding their database of in the palm of their hands. In order to tickle their hands open, the companies offering reverse lookup companies have to pay for access to the database. It can cost up to tens of thousands of dollars just to acquire and keep these databases updated.

The Balance In Favor

If you're using a reverse lookup company, it is easy to track down a cell phone number owner. You will only need to enter the cell phone number and the results will be generated for you.

A typical lookup would have this kind of information:

The owner's name
Address
Cell phone company

In some cases, the information could be expanded to include the owner's legal records, like if he or she has done time in jail, how times married and divorced, among other records. In choosing a reverse lookup company, what you should think about is the money-back guarantee. You should also think about how excellent customer support is. You certainly don't want to waste your money on something that doesn't work for you. And you really won't like it if the company you booked doesn't even reply to your emails.David shell is an attorney, and founder of track cell phone number - a website dedicated to help people track down the owners of reverse cell phone numbers and more.]]> How To Find Anyone With Reverse Phone Numbers http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-find-anyone-with-reverse-phone-numbers http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-find-anyone-with-reverse-phone-numbers#comments Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:19:59 +0000 reverse phone lookupfree reverse phone lookupfree reverse cell phone lookupcell phone lookupreverse phone numbersreverse cell phone lookupsocial networking site http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-find-anyone-with-reverse-phone-numbers free reverse online today.

What is frustrating is that a large number of these sites appear to offer this very service, yet in fact, once you visit these websites, you find they require payment for access. This is a common tactic used by many websites which on the surface offer free services, but when you look more carefully, their free access doesn't actually exist. So, what is the true situation with a free reverse phone number lookup?

Not only can a reverse cell phone number lookup trace a person's address, but it can even trace his or her age, gender, or the company he or she's working with. This is way better than picking up the phone directory and checking the person's personal details yourself.

Today, tracing a person's personal detail by knowing his or her phone number alone is possible with just a simple Internet search. Some of these services are even free of charge and they are all perfectly legal. The only problem is that finding anything for free online depends entirely on that person voluntarily putting his or her information on the web for all to see. Unfortunately, that's not very likely. But if you want your search to really return a fruitful outcome, you might want to consider using the paid service.

Cell phone details are generally not listed in the free directories for reasons of maintaining confidentiality. In fact, one of the very reasons people opt to buy a cellular phone is because it offers them privacy. With a cell phone you can virtually choose which people's calls you would like to receive.

With reverse phone number, you no longer need to worry about being hassled by unwanted telemarketing agents, who constantly pester you to buy the most mundane things at all the wrong times. Such intrusions of privacy are not possible with a cell phone, to a large extent. But note the word 'large extent.' No longer are cell phone number searches impossible, thanks to the increasing presence of online resources which offer a reverse cell phone directory.

Fortunately, there are indeed websites that can provide you access to this information. Yes, there is indeed such a thing as reverse cellular phone lookup service. The catch here is that this service comes with a fee. The websites that provide you access to this information do have to pay their sources fees in obtaining these cellular phone numbers for you. Naturally, you have to pay for the information you are looking for as well.

The good news is that you only have to pay a one-time fee, and you can then perform as many searches as you want. The information that you can get includes owner details, carrier details, address history, and phone connection status.

These sites also will pay you for each and every click made by other members who you have referred to the paid to click program. So you can have one thousand all clicking ads and you get a penny for each of their clicks and this can really add up to of money. Some offer deals like one cent per click and one cent per referral click, while others offer half that, but those sites who pay less than one cent per click often have lower ad prices for their advertisers, resulting in more ads for you to click on than the other sites.

Many of these websites also have "paid to sign up" offers from other members as well. This is where you sign up into thier program and you get paid ten cents for that at most sites.

When choosing a good paid to click site, you should check their site for a forum link. If they have a user forum, go to it and register there first.

The cost for these is usually around a dollar each, and a group of five hundred referrals can bring in $50 per month comfortably, as long as their are ads at the site for everyone to click on. You need to be careful though, the key is to find paid to click sites owned by a good honest admin. This can be researched by visiting their forum like I said earlier, and by doing a Internet search for the websites name or the owners name.

But really now, if none of those things are in your field of experience, pick up the phone and answer it.

Find A Reverse Cellular Phone Book

This kind of phone book is not paper on ink -- these are what you could call online phone books. These are companies that have paid the cellular providers for access to their customers' databases.

It's easy to find these companies -- just type in "reverse lookup cell phone" on Google, Yahoo and MSN and you will find many of them. Take note though, the most notable of these companies do not offer free services. After all, it cost them money to access the . It also costs them more money to keep the information updated. But the cost is basically minimal. A lookup for one number would typically cost $14-$25. There are also reverse lookup companies that charge nominal membership fees, typically from $39-$59.

Not all companies are created alike, but the most reputable companies would have a 100% money back guaranteed. You certainly don't want to pay and not find the information of that dreaded unidentified cell phone number (enter Alfred Hitchcock). Also, the better reverse lookup websites would only charge a one-time fee to give you unlimited access to their database.

Wherever you go, you won't find a cellular phone book, unless if you already have millions on your contact list. The reverse lookup companies offer anyone the peace of mind and security of who's calling them on their cell phone.

If you're not willing to pay for a reverse lookup service, you can always try searching for the number on Google, Yahoo or MSN. You could also try to a search at cell phone directory websites. But to those two options we say to you good luck! Because if the number is not listed in a publicly accessible website (so that the search engines can index it), you won't ever find it. On the other hand, the information you find on cell phone directory websites have been voluntarily put there by their members, so if your unidentified call is not a member, well, you do the math.David shell is an attorney, and founder of people search by cell phone number - a website dedicated to help people track down the owners of unlisted cell phone numbers and more.]]> How to Get Cell Phone Records Without Hiring a Private Investigator http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-get-cell-phone-records-without-hiring-a-private-investigator http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-get-cell-phone-records-without-hiring-a-private-investigator#comments Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:36:51 +0000 reverse telephone lookupreverse phone lookupcell phone numberworking on your caseprivate investigatorsprivate investigatorhourly wage http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-get-cell-phone-records-without-hiring-a-private-investigator cell phone number.

Third, you will have to pay them for the time they spent , which is usually a high . Ultimately you would have paid hundreds or even thousands for something you could have done from the comforts of you computer for far less money. The worse part is, you will have to pay an investigator whether the gather the information you need or not.

The same information that private investigators are able to access is no longer private. This information is available to anyone with an internet connection through a program called "The Reverse Phone Detective". What that means is that you can play the part of a private investigator by just having someone's cell phone or home number. The information you will receive will come from the same database that a private investigator would use.

Amazingly this system is rather simple to set up, you simply pay a one time fee to register and you will have access to the database to make multiple searches. Compared to the much larger fee you would have paid, you will now be able to do a reverse landline or cell phone search whenever you choose without paying a private investigator every time. The amounts of money you save alone can not be measured.

The reverse phone lookup system will also provide you with name, address and family members in your search. So in essence you will be cutting out the middle man, saving some money and getting results at your fingertips.
The next time you receive an annoying phone call from an unlisted number, you can just use your system to call your crank caller by their first name.

A recent trio of patents published last May 4, 2006 by Go Daddy has lead people to speculate on whether is using Who Is information for other purposes such as improving their ranking mechanism. The patents by Go Daddy all had the same description and in essence explored the possibility of adding additional information in the in which the additional information can be used to improve and help combat various forms of Internet abuse like spamming and phishing. The three patents, whose inventors are Warren Adelman and Michael Chadwick, are as follows:

• Publishing domain name related reputation in WhoIs records (US 20060095459) • Tracking domain name related reputation ( Application 20060095586) • Presenting search engine results based on domain name related reputation (US Patent Application 20060095404)

Google's Patents

Although Google has nothing to do with Go Daddy's patents, a patent of their own filed in December of 2003 and published last March 31, 2005 has raised some eyebrows and made people wonder whether they are indeed using WhoIs information in the way that Go Daddy's patents suggest they could. The patent Information retrieval based on historical data (US Patent Application 20050071741) stated that "systems and methods...may score documents based, at least in part, on history data associated with the documents. This scoring may be used to improve search results generated in connection with a search query." The history data indicated in the Google's patent description just might be, according to speculation, the additional data or information that can be added to the WhoIs database that the Go Daddy's patent is speaking of. This makes sense since the use of both information or data is consistent with each other in that the history data that will be used in scoring documents in turn would help improve relevancy of search engine results.

Issue of Privacy

The improved search results are of course not a problem for Google users since they will benefit from it. However it is not the improved results that are raising eyebrows, rather privacy matters is what's under question. People have always been concerned about their privacy and many see the additional data to be added to the WhoIs database as unnecessary and furthermore the use of such information to be a step towards invading their privacy. It is actually ironic that just recently an article appeared on CircleID which mentions that there is an emerging strong feeling among people that there should be less access to WhoIs information, and yet it is also around this time that the Go Daddy's patent on other possible uses of the WhoIs information was published and emerged.

GNSOs Definition of WhoIs Purpose

Discussions regarding the possible use of WhoIs information for other purposes by Google could, however, be pointless due to a recent vote made by ICANN's Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council regarding the purpose of WhoIs and thus the use of WhoIs information as well.

To come up with a definition for the purpose of WhoIs a WhoIs Task Force was formed with the two primary responsibilities of defining the purpose of WhoIs service in context with ICANN's mission and relevant core values and to define the purpose of the Registered Name Holder, technical, and administrative contacts, in the context of the purpose of WhoIs, and the purpose for which the data was collected. The task force then developed the definition from July to November of 2006 and finally submitted two definitions of the purpose for WhoIs, which was put up for further discussion. The two definitions according to the Preliminary task force report on the purpose of WhoIs and of the WhoIs contacts were:

"The purpose of the gTLD WhoIs service is to provide information sufficient to contact a responsible party for a particular gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party who can resolve, issues related to the configuration of the records associated with the domain name within a DNS nameserver." (Definition 1)

And

"The purpose of the gTLD WhoIs service is to provide information sufficient to contact a responsible party or parties for a particular gTLD domain name who can resolve, or reliably pass on data to a party who can resolve, technical, legal or other issues related to the registration or use of a domain name." (Definition 2)

After much discussion a majority vote of 2/3 of the GNSO Council finally voted on Definition 1 as the definition of the purpose for WhoIs. The definition was supported by was supported by the registries, registrars, the three Nomination Committee appointees, and the noncommercial users (NCUC) while the Business, Intellectual Property, and ISP constituencies did not agree.

The US Government expressed displeasure with the final decision unsurprisingly since the definition restricts their ability to use WhoIs information for other purposes as well. In the discussion NCUC even expressly stated that one of the excluded or invalid purposes of WhoIs is to "expand the surveillance powers given to law enforcement under law, or to bypass the protections and limitations imposed by sovereign governments to prevent the abuse and misuse of personal data, even by law enforcement."

It was not explicitly statements though against using WhoIs information for search engine results optimization and for combating Internet fraud. That is not to say though that it is in line with the defined purpose, since it is not. However, there might yet be hope that Google can continue such use of WhoIs information (if they are using it in that way) since the definition of purpose can eventually be expanded to fit that use if ICANN decides that it would still be in line with their core values. As the registry constituency said in their discussion regarding the purpose of WhoIs "The WhoIs function had one original purpose...[but now] has additional purposes that have arisen from the change of character of the Internet." They acknowledge the change in purpose but the statement was said with illegal or criminal activities in mind and the need to change the WhoIs function to combat such activities and yet preserve the individual's privacy. Go Daddy's patent explicitly stated that WhoIs information could be used to combat such activities and since the use is noble and not aimed to divulge any information for the whole world to see then there could be hope for their proposed use of WhoIs information. As for Google, we just have to wait and see if improving ranking mechanisms will be seen by ICANN as a justifiable use of such information. http://www.theinternetone.net ]]> How to Locate a Cell Phone Owner http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-locate-a-cell-phone-owner http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-locate-a-cell-phone-owner#comments Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:57:15 +0000 cell phone number searchcell phone directoryphone number searchfree cell phonecell phone numbercell phone numbersmysterious number http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-locate-a-cell-phone-owner
In real life, however, the reasons for want to find a cell phone owner aren't as dramatic or as dangerous. Sometimes you just forgot to put in the name of the owner or missed a call, although sometimes the reason can be a little more serious, like being on the receiving end of a persistent prank call.

To find a telephone number is also called a reverse look up. It's the total opposite of looking up a name in the directory. Instead of finding a name on the directory, you will instead match a name to that .

There many ways that you can do a reverse lookup, many of them you can on the Internet. You can lookup the number on the search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Or you could sign up with the sites and look at the numbers there. Or you could also sign up with the reverse lookup sites.

Google, Yahoo, MSN

The search engines are you best friend for any search, especially for specific search terms. You can do the same thing with s to find a telephone number owner or to find a cell phone owner -- if the number is on some indexed websites, you would find some leads on the identity of the owner. But of course, any information on the Internet is only as good as who gives it.

Directories

In recent years, there has been some movement towards creating online directories for . The only problem is that these websites are membership-based, meaning members volunteer their cell phone number. Thus, you cannot expect to find very exhaustive information in them.

Paid Reverse Lookups

Although there are many website appearing to offer free reverse lookups, the fact is, you will have to pay for a . There's a very good reason why the professional lookup companies charge fees -- they've paid their dues for an exhaustive and updated website. If you have a mysterious number on hand you can just type in the number and you can find information on the owner: his name, location and background information.

It's practically detective work on a cell phone number. Just enter the number and you can have a search result within seconds.

But you really don't have to fret about the charges, because you don't pay a penny at all unless if there's actual information on the number you're looking for. Some sites charge as much as $25 per search. Still, there are other reverse lookup companies where you need to pay a small one-time fee for an unlimited number of searches.

The good thing is that your searches are always kept in confidence -- nobody will ever know that you've done a search to locate a cell phone owner. So, go right ahead and do a bit of detective work.David shell is an attorney, and founder of  trace cell phone number - a website dedicated to help people track down the owners of unlisted cell phone numbers and more.]]> Big Considerations For Domain Name Owners http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners#comments Thu, 06 Jul 2006 02:27:09 +0000 domain name registrationdomain name systemdomain namesacpaicannwhoisassigned names http://www.artwoo.com/article/big-considerations-for-domain-name-owners domain names continue to surface, the numbers of people who engaged into getting, purchasing, and owning a domain names rises. This event therefore leads to an increase in number of the domain name owners. Given such fact, the International Corporation of and Numbers or the with its Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act () recently presents serious dangers to the innocent domain name owners.

So, there surfaced a number of considerations for the domain name owners to avoid loss of their domain names. One of the considerations that the domain name owners should give attention to lessen the danger of losing their domain names is to get a trademark registration that match their respective domain name. This process is not too difficult for the fact that some of the countries today cater to this service and this is not really required by the law to employ a trademark company.

Following such consideration for the innocent domain names owners' sake is the act of keeping the information up to date. This is considered to be very important since there are some cases where a court or the UDRP tribunal ruling against particular domain name owners based its judgment in line on incomplete or out of date Whois information. And after doing such move, the domain name owners should also check their Whois and information not just once but always.

Since it is a common case where most of the domain name owners fail to pay their registration fees and therefore lose their domain names, it is therefore necessary for the domain names owners to pay for such registration fees to keep their domain names in function and up to date. One major support for this fact is that Whois information of certain domain name owners that is out of date will only lead to the situation where their fee never reached them.

And finally, in cases where someone contacts the domain name owners regarding their domain names, it is important that they are aware that regardless of how folksy or friendly a letter could be from someone asking their domain names, any answers by the domain name owners that makes of the possible blunders may probably cause a lawsuit or UDRP complaint taking advantage of the domain name owners' blunder. But, if the domain name owners really receive a UDRP complaint, then it is a right time to respond the complaint, since the majority of UDRP decisions against the domain name owners are default decisions that is where the domain name owner failed to respond to the complaint.

Well, the obvious is to get it hosted somewhere. But how do you get it andquot;somewhereandquot;? How does one move their domain from one place to another?

Determine where your domain name is currently hosted

Domain transfers are without a doubt one of the most confusing things to a , especially if you've never done it before and you don't have a clue as to where to start. Unfortunately it's a fact and we can't make it easy for you. But we can try to ease it up a bit.

The first thing you need to do is determine where your domain name is currently hosted. To do this you must do a . Go to one of the websites below:

.com" >http://betterwhois.com .com" >http://allwhois.com http://completewhois

For this example we will use http://betterwhois.com. Type your domain name in the text box provided.

The who is database gives info about the registrant: administrative contact the technical contact and the billing contact, including addresses phone numbers and email addresses. This is available to the public.

We want info about http://notreallyadomain.com for this example.

This is what you will see:

Domain names in the .com, .net, and .org domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.

Domain Name: http://NOTREALLYADOMAIN.COM Registrar: TUCOWS, INC. : .net" >http://whois.opensrs.net Referral URL: http://domainhelp.tucows.com Name Server: http://NS1.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET Name Server: http://NS2.NOTREALLYANAMESERVER.NET

Updated Date: 07-jan-2004 Creation Date: 08-mar-1997 Expiration Date: 08-mar-2006 The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and Registrars.

So, in breaking a whois search down:

Domain Name-The domainname you have inquired about

Registrar-The registrar the domain has been registered with

Whois Server-Who is database this info was pulled from

Referral URL-The URL of the Registrar -who you need to contact in order to change the domain from one name server to the other: either by physically talking to them or using control panel access.

Primary Name Server-The nameserver the domain currently resides on

Secondary Name Server-The nameserver the domain currently resides on Two nameservers are generally used: if the primary nameserver breaks then the secondary can take over the primary nameserver duties until the primary is fixed.

Updated Date-When the whois record was last updated

Creation Date: When the domainname was created

Expiration Date: When the domain name expires

This domain was registered thru an Opensrs registrar/reseller. Scan the who is database you will usually find the Registrar contact info. In this case the info was towards the bottom:

Registration Service Provider: http://Domainmonger.com, service@domainmonger.com and#43;1.425-821-8032 http://www.domainmonger.com

We would then go to http://www.domainmonger.com

Providing we have our userid and password we could login and change our nameserver info, contact info or any number of functions.

Once we have changed our name server info there is generally a propagation periodnas the internet as a whole updates with new dns information. For a new domain name, you can count on anywhere from 12 - 24 hours. For a domain name that is already in existance, and has already been moved, it can take anywhere from 12 - 72 hours. There is no definitive time, unfortunately. There have been instances of propagation taking two weeks or more.

Here are some of the different Domain name registrars now available on the net.

Recommendations to keep your domain name maintenence hassle-free:

Never use your domain name as part of your email address on your contact email for your whois record. Use a web-based email like Yahoo or Hotmail. If you experience any kind of issue, you'll be emailed at your contact email, and if it's your domain name and it's broken, you're out of luck.

Use yourself as a technical contact on your whois record. Use a second email address as well. Hosting companies do go out of business, and this could hinder your access should you want to move the domain name.

Keep track of the email addresses you use as contacts, the userids and passwords. Keep track of your domain name - when you ordered it, when it expires. If you let the domain name expire, your website will not be accessible through the domain name. Keep track of any userids/passwords associated with domain name maintenence.

Answer: In a perfect world, yes.

The problem is, we don't live in perfect world. In fact, we live in a commercial world where anything and everything could be sold. Take the case of companies. Not only will they milk your money in the form of monthly bills or prepaid credits, they could sell their database of subscribers to reverse lookup companies. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

We're just saying. If you want to know who your husband has been talking to in the bathroom, you better pay the price for finding out who. (You couldn't help but take note of the unregistered number after faintly hearing him moan while you were at the door listening.)

Mobile phone numbers are typically excluded from the directories and . Someone once started a furor against the proposal to index cell phone numbers into a sensible A-to-Z directory. The mantra was that having a directory of this kind would set off a telemarketing frenzy that went straight to the telemarketers and none through the gatekeepers.

But of course, that kind of revolt against an organized has not stopped reverse lookup companies from offering their own directories that you can access for a small fee. You can admire such companies for maintaining updated databases of -- the numbers often number in the millions.

Some of them offer a free search to make you see if they've got the information you need. The very good ones offer charge as high as $25 per search. Other companies also offer unlimited searches for a one-time fee, some as high as $59.

If such type of companies is not your thing, there are, of course, other remedies. Consider technology as your best friend. Do a on your telephone number and hope to God a profile is going to pull up, with a picture (with your husband in it) to boot.

You could also sign up with some directory websites. But the information on these websites are not nearly as good as those that you pay for, precisely because the information on there are those that have been volunteered by their members.

Still, there are reverse lookup companies that purport to provide a free service. But the real score but it's tough to find ones that really give out free information on the numbers that you are trying to look up. You will inevitably find yourself hopping from one service provider to the other, unlike when you sign up with a premium company and find all the information you've been looking for.

With a paid reverse lookup, you would typically be provided with information on the owner of the cell phone number such as the name, address and background information.

If your husband is taking too long in his cell phone conversations and hiding behind the call of nature when he's talking on the phone (and you heard that faint moan behind that bathroom door), then it's time to do some detective work.

Prices vary tremendously, so first you need to shortlist companies that are clearly reliable and reputable. So how do you do this?

Check how long they have been established as as the industry is known for it's "here today, gone tomorrow" operations.

A company that has been around for a few years is much likely to be a safer bet than the one man start up that is offering discount prices. Who would you trust more - the car dealership there has been established 10 years or the new one that has just sprouted up last week?

While their website may tell you how long they have been established, this may not necessarily be the correct information. Of course, limited companies will file records at Companies House which you can check to see how long they had been established. However, a far easier and quicker option is to check how long their has been registered .

You can do this by going to www.domaintools.com and typing in their Web address into the search box. This gives you information on the registrant, their address and the date the domain was first registered. While this is not entirely foolproof, it does give a good an and you should be wary of any company where a domain name is only a year or two old.

Look at their track record. They should have a good portfolio of the sites they have built available to see via their website, as well as customer testimonials. Their portfolio is a good indication of their design skill -- if you like the websites in their portfolio, then they are likely to satisfy you on the design side.

Check the company works from an office. Web design is an industry with a multitude of different operators -- from freelance work at to large new media agencies. If the company works from an office, it is more likely to be still here next year than the guy who just does it from home.

Does the company have online marketing expertise? Look for a company that it is experienced in marketing websites online as they can give you lot of free information to help market your website. Not all designers know about online marketing.

Many places online advertise " services", but in actuality the only really beneficial no-cost directories to be found are of landline phone numbers. Why is this? Because for a very long time, landline numbers have been openly published. The phone companies consider s to be private and are reluctant to release those numbers. Also, your cell phone bill is usually based on time used. Knowing that their customers don't want to waste usage time, the cell phone companies refuse to publicly provide cell phone numbers.

So, you won't get much useful information from these "FREE" services if you're looking for unlisted or cell phone number information. You can get some very general information from some of them, but not the name and address of the owner of the number.

Recently I desperately needed to put an end to some obscene phone calls from a sicko unknown caller. For about a couple of weeks, I had been receiving calls from a no ID number. When I answered the phone, the caller said nothing but started panting and making sexual grunts and sounds. I found these calls frustrating, annoying and a little scary. The frequency of the irksome calls began to escalate on a daily basis.

Finally, I did call the police who told me that there wasn't much they could do since no actual crime had been committed. The police did tell me that I could call my phone provider and give them the exact time of the call or calls and that my phone provider would probably give me the originating phone number. This information did help somewhat, but since the calls were coming from a cell phone, I still didn't know who was making the aggravating calls.

Armed with the cell phone number of the persistent culprit caller, I fired up the old PC and began to search the Net for the elusive " Lookup Service".

Googling for a " service" is a maddening counterproductive activity, that is if you're looking for real information like the identity and address of an obscene caller. Here a click, there a click, everywhere a click, click=85 I clicked every "FREE" Cell Phone Lookup Service that I could find only to discover a dead end with each subsequent frenzied click of the mouse. Basically, I got a large dose of the Online Runaround, something almost everyone has probably experienced at one time or the other. Every so-called FREE service that I tried eventually led me to a paid service costing from $4.95 up to $14.95.

Some free cell phone lookup websites do exist, but they offer only limited information about a number. These sites "decode" cell phone numbers to help you determine the issuing location, carrier, and other publicly available information.

In general, you'll be able to find out whether the number belongs to a cell or a land line, what mobile service provides the number, and which city and state the cell phone number comes from without ever paying... but the actual name and address of the registered user of that cell phone number won't be available (unless you get extremely lucky). I wasn't lucky!

After a couple hours, I finally got the message, the only way I was going to put a stop to the stinking phone calls was to use a premium paid cell phone lookup service. Paid reverse Cell phone directories are created manually by large companies who collect the information from various services. The process of compiling and creating these databases is very expensive and time-consuming which is why there is a charge for the information. I guess they have to pay their bills too!

A word of caution=85 A large number of sites have popped up on the Internet offering cell phone lookups for a fee. Considering the limitations of these services, the fees can be very steep. Some companies actually have tried to "skip" the process of building cell phone databases. These services just give you a list of services that sell these lookups and disappear when you ask for a refund. That money will just disappear, and you'll be back to your search... so why not go "straight to a proven source" from the beginning?

There are a number of reputable Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Services online that offer a money back guarantee service. The best services give customers free search assistance and are backed by a 100% no-quibble, no-strings attached guarantee. You're either satisfied or you're not=85and if you're not, then you don't pay. Period!

After checking with Phone Reverse Lookup Review and http://ConsumbersGuide.Org, I used Reverse Phone Detective with very satisfactory results. Considered the Grand Daddy in reverse cell phone search, their website has the largest phone directory in the U.S with approximately one billion records. I gave Reverse Phone Detective a whirl and bingo, bingo, bingo; they found the cell phone caller name and address. Additionally, they found his race, age, marital status, civil records, and criminal records.

This was really more information that I was looking for, but now I had the information I needed to confidently put a stop to the annoying phone calls. I called the guy up right from the phone he had been calling me, he evidently recognized my caller ID because I never heard from him again. If he had answered my call, I could have told him that I have completed an investigation and that I now know who he is, to stop calling my number, or I will take immediate legal action.
