Domain name preemption knowledge

The so-called preemptive, simply divided, there are two kinds of sense of registration:

1. A registration of a domain name that has never been registered.

In this case, the registrant of the domain name generally foresees the potential value of the domain name and registers the domain name before other people think of it. This scope contains some of the names of well-known brands, well-known groups or individuals, intellectual property rights.

2. A registered domain name.

A registered domain name, if not in a timely manner before the expiration of the renewal fee, it will be deleted after a period of time (the specific process see the text detailed). In the first time after being deleted, the act of preemptive registration to the domain name is regarded as another kind of preemption, which is also the scope of the register to be involved in this article.

In fact, some of the potential value of the domain name, often have been registered, as a domain name investors or are about to select a domain name to carry out online business, laborious to "think" or "create" a can let everyone recognized that a good domain name is really difficult. More, should be registered by the predecessors, and because of various reasons to be deleted domain name to find, can achieve a multiplier effect.

A domain name from the registered to be deleted from the normal survival process is this:

1.ACTIVE: Normal active state. Set by registry, the domain name can be changed by registrar; it can be renewed; at least one DNS is set (two is normally required). is the normal meaning of the domain name in use.

2.registrar-hold: Registrar reserved. is set by the original registrar of the domain name, the domain name cannot be changed or deleted, and the domain name can be changed by the Registrar, and the domain name may be renewed. The domain name is not included in the area (domain name root server) (not used properly). If a domain name, the last day of its validity period, has not received the renewal fee, will be set to this state, at this time the domain name has not been normal access, set into the state of the period, the original registrant such as timely renewal, then the domain name will immediately revert to the active state. If the original registrant has not renewed the fee for a maximum of 45 days, the domain name will be set to the next more dangerous state: Redemptionperiod.

3.REDEMPTIONPERIOD: Grace period. After the Registrar has submitted a request for deletion of a domain name to the board, the registration authority will set the domain name to this state, however, the condition is that the domain name has been registered for more than 5 days (if the domain name registration time is less than 5 days, delete immediately); The domain name is not included in the (Domain name root server) area (not normally used); The domain name may not be changed or cleared and can only be recovered; any other registrar who makes changes to this domain name or other requests will be rejected; In the Registar-hold state the longest after 45 days (generally 30 days), and the original registrant is still not renewed, the domain name is set to Redemptionperiod state. During this period, the original registrant may restore the domain name through the registrar, but will need to pay a sum much higher than the one-year registration fee (as the ransom after the kidnapping).

If the ransom is received by the board within 30 days, the domain name is immediately set to the Pendingrestore state, which is interpreted as: resuming pending. When the Registrar proposes to reinstate the request for a redemptionperiod domain name, it is set up by the registry, which is included in the area (which is normally used) of the domain name root server, and any changes made by the Registrar or any other request will be refused; within 7 days, If a registrar provides the necessary recovery documents to the board, the domain name will be set to active if the Registrar has provided the files within 7 days, otherwise the domain name will be returned to the Redemptionperiod state.

4.PENDINGDELETE Delete pending. If a domain name is set to Redemptionperiod State, the Registrar does not make a recovery request, then the domain name will be placed in the Pendingdelete state, and any request by the Registrar for the domain name will be rejected; Things to this step, is really can not be saved, is set to Pendingdelete state domain name, will be in 5 days after the death penalty, there is no way to save the life of these domain names.

But at the same time, some of the good domain names, also through the process of Phoenix Nirvana, was again stolen. This is our most concerned moment, countless domain registrars manipulate countless tools and computers in the execution of execution at the same time, carry out another battle. The time of the battle, is the eastern time every day around two o'clock in the afternoon, about one hours, less than 3 o'clock, the same day will be deleted the domain name was deleted, and in which the domain name, then got a new life.

The above description contains 5 of the 8 states of the domain name, and the other three states and their explanations are as follows:

Registry-lock: Registry lockout. be set up by the board; The domain name may not be changed or deleted by the Registrar and must be removed by the registry before the Registrar can change the domain name information; The domain name can be renewed; If the domain name is assigned at least one DNS, it can be included in the area (which can be used normally).

Registry-hold: The Board reserves. is set up by the board, the domain name may not be altered or deleted by the Registrar, and the State of registration may be removed by the Registrar to change the domain name information, the domain name may be renewed, and the domain name is not included in the area (not normally used) of the domain name root server.

Registrar-lock: Registrar lock. is set by the original registrar of the domain name, the domain name cannot be changed or deleted, and the domain name can be changed by the Registrar, and the domain name may be renewed. The domain name is included in the area (domain name root server) (which can be used normally).

In order to make it clearer about the rules for deletion of domain name expiration, specific examples are as follows:

1: For example, the expiration date of the domain name is March 01, 2010;

2: Starting from March 02, 2010, the domain name NS will be automatically deleted by the system, domain name can not be resolved, but my company will continue to retain the domain name 30 days, users can be within the 30-day period to renew the fee;

3: If there is no renewal within the 30-day period mentioned in 2, that is, starting from March 31, 2010, the domain name will become Redemptionperiod state, which will remain for 30 days, during which the domain name will not fall, but all commands except the RESTORE command are not valid for this domain name ;

4: Domain name in redemptionperiod state can restore back, but each restore need to pay (equivalent) RMB 1000 yuan (including one year renewal);

5: If the domain name in the Redemptionperiod state 30 days without restore, starting from 2003.04.29 domain name into pendingdelete State (5 days), April 04, 2010 The domain name will be deleted.

After the whole process of a domain name is clearly understood, it is not difficult to understand the registration mentioned later in this article.

After a domain name is deleted, any individual, organization, can register the domain name through the domain name registrar, without any restrictions, fully comply with the principle of first come first served. Since there are many websites that now provide query functionality for the domain names that will be deleted. As a result, some good domain names are often registered by a new registrant within a second after being deleted. Most of the time, even if you have no time to query the domain name is deleted, it has been the beat.

Driven by interest, many registrars have also reached agreements with these domain registrars, making the competition even more brutal and reducing the chances of individuals registering for these very valuable domain names.

The number of companies providing the domain name service is mainly as follows:

Pool: Once the boss in the circle, recently more and more by enom squeeze and appear powerless, but for some high-value domain name registration opportunities are still the highest. Booking method: The price is 60 dollars. If more than 1 people subscribe to the same domain name at the same time, the leader is the first place to order the reservation, others are considered outbid, the domain name by pool registration, will enter the bidding, about three days after the auction time, the highest bidder to get the domain name.

enom:10 USD plus registration fee, that is, agents for the 18.95 U.S. dollar Reserve price, direct registration of the end user for the 39.5 U.S. dollar reserve price, long-term domain name, the general use of the reseller account, may be other people out of the lower account, but in addition to prices, no other difference. Enom's bid is slightly more complex, under normal circumstances, divided into two kinds: normal bidding and Dutch-style auction. In the case of the Dutch auction, because a few subscribers, are only 10 U.S. dollars, did not reach the private bid of the 30 U.S. dollar price, in this case, into the Dutch auction. The exact price is 10 USD, direct bid 60 dollars can get domain name, with the delay of time, direct bid to get lower prices, that is, from 60 U.S. dollars, down to 55,50,45, until the second highest than the high 5 yuan price for the auction end, or a competitor to take the price directly away to get the domain name. Another is the normal bidding, in the case of a number of subscribers to bid more than 30 U.S. dollars, each increase of 10 U.S. dollars, the only highest price to obtain the domain name. If no single highest bidder or highest bidder has not been paid at this stage, an open bid is entered.

Snapnames:60 Dollar starting point, the success rate is high, and enom,pool between the potential of pillars, there have been doubts snapnames credibility, but in the near future, basically did not find the problem. The auction process is similar to pool, from 60 dollars up to the end of the highest bidder to get the domain name.

Namewinner:40 Dollar (some of the old account can bid 30 U.S. dollars), only during the booking has reached the highest price, or make the current price upward but they are still outbid booking can enter the bidding, or to pay a one-time fee of 50 U.S. dollars to enter the domain name bidding. Domain Name Auction time is also three days, the end of the highest price of the domain name, but has personally occurred due to NAMEWINENR system errors, their own bid with the shadow of the situation, to pay due attention to.

godaddy:18.95 Dollar Fixed price, the success rate for well-known companies is the lowest, but the advantage is that the credibility of the guarantee, and the reservation price fixed, there is a chance to grab the value of hundreds of U.S. dollars domain name, a bit of luck, because booking to advance the purchase amount, there are plenty of money in this book.

The above mentioned are the five registered operators recognized by the registration industry, others also have individual groups or individuals to provide such services, including several domestic, but the comprehensive registration strength and the above five can not compare.

The four principles of domain name registration

Comparison of registration Law

Registered persons may refer to. COM times a lot of excellent domain name creativity, to "reverse" design their own. COM domain name, resulting in a curious interesting impression, and thus bring appreciation effect. For example, the famous free mailbox hotmail.com is not hot to have a fever! You might as well compare the registration of a coolmail.com cold (cool) face. Registered users can use them to attract the attention of mail service providers and software companies.

Second, the Voice Correspondence registration law

You can be with. com suffix pronunciation of the same or similar words together to register, it can be in the domain name of the reading to form a catchy tone characteristics. Although this domain name does not have any literal meaning value, but because it has the easy to remember convenient characteristic to become the Prestige extraordinary. such as the famous portal tom.com is an example, Tom was originally a common English name, but with COM together is different, because two pairs of "OM" of the yuan, consonant sound, this feature determines its special application value. So it can be "Li Supen" fancy, Ken out 2.5 million dollars of huge sums of money to buy.

Iii. reference to the Derivative Registration Act

Registration may wish to jump out of the ego-centric domain name creation ideas, "climber" can also become a good way to get the domain name. You can use the well-known domain name brand to foil the design of your own domain name. When Sohu.com's fame rose, it was a sudden emergence of such as Sofang, Sobao, such as the copycat derivative Domain name. Therefore, you can also pick some of the social impact of good domain names, using their former spelling to decorate their own, borrow, such as the choice of Sina si or Yahoo's ya as a domain name before the spelling.

Iv. The law of analogy creation registration

A registrant can make a makeover on the composition of those excellent domain names and create their own domain names. The famous aol.com is an example, no one in the United States online before the initials of the acronym is interested in, but now want to advertise the online application characteristics of the site is all to ol praise, quickly appeared what Sol, col.com domain name, you can also in the. com system to this analogy to register what ol Ah!

Creativity is the first danger

For the domain name investment boom, the industry believes that the registration domain name is not worth advocating, and creative registered domain name is a more rational way of registration. The current domain name investors have two main types, one is to register domestic and foreign famous brands; the second is creative registration, with a particularly good word of your own mind.

Experts say that the names of well-known enterprises are only a small part of the domain name investment, the main still rely on wisdom and creative investment. Domain name investors to rush Google's behavior is only a special case, the real domain name investment is to find a valuable name, in fact, transactions are rarely through the registration of other people's domain name to achieve. And from the reality of the situation, the name of the names of registered enterprises also exist a certain risk, it is likely to be the enterprise through arbitration or litigation to recover, the registration may even pay compensation. The best way to invest domain names is through wisdom and creativity.

Domain Name Valuation mode

We are often asked a question: How much does my domain name cost? This is an important issue because customers are unwilling to sell their domain names at a price below the actual value.

The value of the domain name is a very abstract concept, in order to correctly evaluate the customer's domain name value, we draw on the international practice, and combined with China's national conditions put forward the following assessment model:

The value of a domain name can be evaluated in the following ways:

1, the length of the domain name

The importance of domain name length (excluding suffix name) is not to be questioned, the short domain name is not only easy to remember, but also easy to input, easy to make mistakes. We can divide the domain name into the following levels according to the length of the domain name:

A-level: domain name length is less than 5, such as AAA.

B-Level: The length of the domain name between 6-10, such as Amazon.

C-level: domain name length between 11-15, such as Greatdomains

D-level: domain name length between 16-20

E-Class: Domain name length of more than 20

2, the meaning of the domain name:

The meaning of domain name is also one of the elements of domain name value, such as some commonly used English words or Chinese phonetic abbreviations to name the domain name is more valuable, we also divided it into the following levels:

A-level: some commonly used meaningful, simple English words for the domain name, such as bank

B: In some short, clear Chinese pinyin or some less common but meaningful English words for domain names, such as 1hao (1th), Zhaodaola (found), Amazon (Amazon)

C-Class: The domain name synthesized by two words: such as supermarket

Class D: The domain name consisting of more than three words: such as Youcanmakeit.

E-Class: No obvious meaning of the domain name: such as WTWEWFDDG

3, domain name suffix:

For commercial applications, the. com domain name is undoubtedly the most attractive. and. NET and. org domain names are much worse. This can be divided into the following categories:

Level A:. com

Class C:. Net

Level d:. org and other top-level domains

E-Class: Two-level domain name (such as. com.cn if allowed to transfer)

Domain Name Valuation:

Based on the above several aspects, we can make a general assessment of the value of the domain name.

Domain name valuation = Domain Name Price index *10000 (RMB)

For. NET domain names, you can refer to the above method evaluation, but the price to multiply the factor of 0.25, the other top-level domain will multiply by 0.1.

For example: Sina.com length is a class, meaning B class, the valuation should be 200,000-5 million yuan.
