.NAME at a Crossroads

Posted by michael on from the name-of-the-beast dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems the .NAME registry is at a crossroads. They say that things are going far from well, and so they have started their own registrar that is going to try to market .NAME domains to individuals, unlike all other registrars. If they don't manage, this will be the first gTLD to go bankrupt. I guess that will put a damper on any plans to introduce more new TLDs."

    Btw., for anyone who might care, we're a pure Linux outfit - except for the marketing peoples desktops), and that's been a vital part in getting this registrar up and running so quickly (writing the fullfilment engine, DNS server, billing system etc. from scratch in about 6 months, with only four people doing development).
