Wellington-based general manager Bernard Blake says the company will continue to charge the equivalent of $US35, the sum it asks for reselling names provided by other registrars. Once Domainz is itself functioning as a registrar, customers will get better support than if their .com domain was provided by an overseas registrar, Blake says. - Computerworld AWARDS OPEN: Nominations for the Technology Commendation Awards sponsored by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology are now open. They are a great chance for companies to receive recognition for their application of innovative technology.
