.org Registry Offline - Not

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bit-an-oops dept.

The article is light on details, and doesn't list any potential consequences. " It looks like it's the server that maintains the records for who owns what .org domain - and a big "I Told You So" for Verisign. And of course, now it seems to be working just fine. Good work, PIR.

  1. The day .org died - or anyone want slashdot.org? by sparkes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    bags I get to name to problem;-)

    not quite as bad as the day the internet died as all it means in real terms is a few people will try to buy domain names that arn't available.

    anyone want to buy slashdot.org?
