07.06.2008First 100 .com domains ever registered
The Internet domain game has been going strong for over 20 years. Have you ever thought back and wondered what some of the first domain registrations
were? Surprisingly the first domain name ever registered was symbolics.com. Below you will find the list of the first 100 domain names registered.
If only you were able to predict at that time how vast the internet would expand you could have made loads of money. Simple three letter domain
names now sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's no surprise that the first 100 list is compromised of many large corporations as it
surely cost more than $1.99 to register a domain name in the 1980's.

04.12.2007Domain Name Sells For $2.6m
A US man has sold the domain name pizza.com for $2.6m (£1.3m) - after maintaining the site for just $20 a year since 1994.
Chris Clark, 43, accepted the offer from an anonymous bidder after a week-long online auction. Mr Clark registered the domain name in 1994, when the
world wide web was just starting. He had hoped that pizza.com would help to get a contract with a pizza firm for his consulting company.
He
sold his business in 2000, but kept paying the $20 annual fees for maintaining the domain, which he also used to sell advertisements.
Mr Clark has admitted regretting that he did not purchase more domain names in the 1990s, when many (now) popular domain names were still available.

05.04.2008Google Fights Domain Name Tasting
Google Inc. announced yesterday that it would begin to take increasing measures against domain name tasting, a practice which exploits a grace period
originally designed to rectify legitimate mistakes, such as registrants mistyping the domain name they are about to buy. With automation and a
burgeoning online advertising market, entrepreneurs have generated big bucks by exploiting this policy to test hoards of names, keeping just the ones
that turn out to generate the most revenue; unfortunately for legitimate users, these entrepreneurs can tie up millions of domain names at any given
moment.

Hi, everyone. I'm Daniel
Oliver, a program manager on
the Windows Shell Team.
If you're running
Windows Vista on a
domain-joined machine, you may
have noticed a small change
between Windows Vista RC1 and
RC2 when the UAC dialog box
prompts for credentials in an
OTS (over the shoulder)
scenario. In RC2, only the
empty Password Provider tile
is enumerated by default. Some
users thought this was a bug,
and other users requested we
revert to the previous
behavior. In addition, many
users wanted to know why we
made this change. Please allow
me to address these questions
individually.

New Domain-Based Namespaces On The Way
Things have been a little
quiet around here since we
released Windows Server 2008
Beta 3 (over 250,000 downloads
so far and counting!), so I
wanted to take this chance to
let you know about something
that you'll soon be able to
take advantage of in Windows
Server 2008. The DFS
Namespaces team has let me
know that they are adding
support for domain-based
namespaces that exceed the
previous size recommendation
of 5,000 folders with targets
in a namespace. Starting in
Windows Server 2008, you will
be able to use the DFS
Management snap-in to create a
new domain-based namespace in
one of the following
modes:
- Windows 2000
Server mode provides the same
functionality and scalability
currently available in
namespaces hosted on servers
running Windows 2000 Server or
Windows Server 2003.
- Windows Server 2008 mode
provides increased scalability
and support for access-based
enumeration, which will be
configurable using Dfsutil.
There are now no hard limits
to the size of the namespace “
however, we are currently
running performance tests to
determine guidelines for
sizing these new domain-based
namespaces for practical
performance
considerations.
To create
a domain-based namespace in
Windows Server 2008 mode, your
servers and domain will need
to meet the following
requirements:
- The
domain functional level must
be Windows Server 2008
- All servers hosting the
namespace must run Windows
Server 2008
Stand-alone
namespaces will also benefit
from the underlying DFS
Namespaces changes made in
Windows Server 2008, allowing
stand-alone namespaces hosted
on servers running Windows
Server 2008 to support
access-based enumeration.
Pretty cool,
no? Stay tuned for more
feature update news as we get
ready for our next big
milestone release :-)
