Dot-God vs DotGod?

j1mmy asks: "First of all, the .god registry went live recently, so everybody can now play with their new domains. I did just that, and a typo later, I was at a different .god registry. The dot-god.com is the one slashdot reported on way back when, which is the one I had registered with. As far as I can tell, these two registrars aren't related, and who sees what is merely a question of which dns servers one chooses. Is there an official .god registry? Is this the way the internet is heading as more public dns services and registries come online?" The issue here isn't necessarily that there are two registrars serving the .god TLD, just that the two are so close in name. Is the internet likely to experience more of this sort of confusion as new TLDs come online?

I think the most popular alternative registry is the one run by OpenNIC. Chances are that if an alternative registry were ever to gain populace that would be it.

Furthermore, dot-god.com works and dotgod.com doesn't. I think it's a message from God...whoever ( he | she ) is. ;-)

No match for "ONE.TRUE.GOD".

Re:Are these domains legitimate or not?

Of course. They only work on machines where people have specifically enabled *just* those domains served by Pacific root. As far as I can tell, everyone running an alternate root is a lunatic, exceeded only in lunacy by NSI, of course.
