A lot of users who have registered the domain name will find a strange thing, they think of a very simple and easy to remember the domain name, the query is not registered, but once you submit the application for registration is told that the domain name has been registered. It's very frustrating.
"When the query, some small registered agents will leave your query records, feel good he was registered." Mr. Gao, who once engaged in domain name registration, told the Financial Times reporter that "it is easy to implement this monitoring, as long as you add a few lines of code to the Domain name query program."
"In fact, there is a lot of insider in the industry." A consumer, for example, has paid for a domain name, but he may not know that the domain name does not necessarily belong to himself. This is just like paying for a house, and the title card is written by someone else's name. An industry insider told the Financial Times.
Registration traps
Some enterprises or individuals, have already purchased their own domain name, and the annual domain fee, but in fact the domain name is really belong to their enterprises, perhaps most people do not know.
"If the domain name registrant is not you, then you have a lot of trouble." In the industry, Mr. Gao told the Financial Times, in the domain name registration, there are domain name registration records, which need to pay attention to the domain name records must be their own, this is the only proof of ownership of the domain name.
If the purchaser is not aware, some domain registration agents will fill out their own information when registering. If there is a dispute, or domain name registered agents to see your domain name, then you can not be back, unless you find agents and pay high prices from its top level registrar to transact the domain name transfer procedures.
That is to say, if the domain name registrant is not himself, then enterprises or individuals to pay domain name fees or renewals only to get a "right to use", if the agent "not happy", the title of the domain name can be returned to the hands of agents, even if the enterprise and individual annual domain name fee, is also "for others to do wedding clothes."
"If the administrator's mailbox is not you, you may also have trouble in the future," he said. Mr. Gao added, "because the international Domain name Management organization in the registration process of the automatic confirmation letter will only be sent to the domain name Administrator's mailbox."
For agents to use their own information to register the domain name, Mr. Gao believes that there are two reasons: first, agents in order to register conveniently, so the default with their own information in lieu of registration to fill out; second, in order to control the user (domain name), because some agents with very low prices to sell domain names, I hope the registrant in the registered domain name, At the same time also can buy their own virtual host business, rather than simply buy domain names. And with the agent information registration, domain name registrant can not arbitrarily set up and transfer domain name, and the annual renewals must also pass this agent.
Whatever the reason, the domain name at this time is in a state of control.
Cheap and hard to get.
With the popularity of the domain name, the cost of registering a domain name is also gradually reduced, many enterprises and individuals will not be the domain name, casually find a relatively inexpensive domain name agent registrars.
"On the surface, the domain name registration fee is cheap, but some domain name agent registrars do not give you complete free domain name resolution services, so you have to buy the virtual host he provides, and the domain name can not be transferred out." If the other person closes down, he will follow the bad luck. " Mr. Gao said.
Mr. Gao revealed that the current general size of the agents will use their own domain name server to customers to do domain name resolution services, if the agents closed down, the client domain name will not be normal to resolve, the site can not be normal access.
"The other is your agent, when you register his domain name, he will not give you a list of all the rights, will only say that the ownership is yours, but how to use?" How to turn out is not explained. " Mr. Gao introduced, even if the domain name agents did not close, want to do domain name resolution, transfer is not easy.
Because a lot of domain name is a kind of resources, and can attract customers to rent their own host, so agents will generally find ways to retain the domain name of customers.
Jump out of the trap
For the registered domain name is their own, the industry suggested to the international domain name can be to www.internic.net and Www.whois.sc www.register.com and other web site inquiries "domain name whois information." And for CN domain name can go to www.cnnic.cn to inquire.
"If the domain name registration Administrator's mailbox and registrant are you, that's not a big problem." Mr. Gao said, "If the administrator's mailbox is not you, you may be in trouble later." He explained: "If the other person is hostile, it may create a barrier when you have to transact a domain name transfer registrar or other business."
For agents after the failure of the domain name analysis, transfer and other issues, the industry introduced, you can query the registered domain name records, check to the top registrars, domestic generally are million nets, new nets, China channels and other companies, direct contact with these companies, let them help to resolve, transfer domain names, to ensure normal use. Webmaster Network is currently given to you registered domain name (www.admin5.com/domain.htm), in order to prevent these occurrences, at any time to the registrant transfer password, at any time can be transferred to the user's own account.
