As much as I love the domain+hosting+etc business, it's not a business priority right now or an area that I can afford to have the support costs grow.Why are two nameserver entries in the in the tech contact information mandatory? This just seems to ask for lots of lame delegations for not actively used domains. Do you actually set up zone files on your standard nameservers for all domains you register?
Are you kidding? You should AT THE VERY LEAST default to setting your customers domains to go to a parking page where you advertise your service. If they don't want the visitors, you should get them. If you're more advanced, send the parked domains to a paid parking sponsor and make some money that way.
Tucows is doing it with parked domaindirect.com sites, why aren't you?
I usually enter the domain into my system and create an empty zonefile (Contains SOA and NS records, but nothing else) just to avoid the alem delegation issue, but I'd rather not have any nameservers at all because it means when the customer does decide to light up the domain, they have to wait up to 72 hours for my NS to disappear from caches
(Remember, additions and changes are entered into the roots semi-realtime, but already cached info needs 72 hours to drop out)
