Hi Charles,
I have held off offering .co domain names because of all the
problems I see in this discussion.
Domain names when applied for is when I bill the credit card. The
way .ca's are going would mean issuing a lot of refunds and
possibly put my merchant account in jeopardy. Do you think the
.ca registration process will ever smooth out and work like clock
work? If so, will you notify the rsp's? I hope it will soon
because I have one site targeted to Canadian business owners and
could sell a lot of .ca's from it. However, I am holding off
until things work like a well oiled machine.
Sincerely,
Todd Sumrall
