Hello. OK. I agree. I have to use Opensrs WHOIS ALWAYS...but what's a concern is that LOT of people is using NETSOL as their WHOIS and when they look for a domain, they see is free, they come to you to register the domain maybe next day and then you have to tell them that the domains is gone and that now "their" idea will cost them "just some hundreds" more.....
On this... someone wrote that it is easy to LOG the lookups..... it is really very easy to do that for those companies...? How?. I mean, to do that they will have to have access or contacts inside... or even being working with that company....Am I wrong?. JB At 15:57 25/10/01 -0400, you wrote: >It may be possible.
