COM.KG Domains Are On!

[Woofcat]

Finally!

[evil2k]

I saw today, my one is on :)

[Nick]

:runs off to outlook to register about 200 more domains:

[john]

told you :P

[Canuckkev]

Okay...is there something I'm missing? What do you need hundreds of these .com.kg domains? Where can the DNS be hosted for free though? centralinfo.net is no longer accpeting new users "due to abuse".

I tried getting a PID using the email template, I got an email back saying that the email service is discontinued. So I visited domain.kg, and checked it out. It doesn't say anything about it been free though. It might just be talking about .kg's. Here is a quote from the site:

Cost of services for primary registration of one second-level .KG domain amounts to US$100.00 (without VAT).

It's that "second level" that confuses me. Wouldn't a .com.kg be "second-level"?

I didn't get any more. I have all that I could ever need. Currently, I only have one up which is http://www.pixel.com.kg at FreeServers so I can get mail aliases to signup for things that need ISP or paid email addresses *cough*hypermart, virtualave*cough* ;).

No... .com.kg is "third-level"... If you read down the page that lists the pricing information, it says that third-level domain registration "is made free".

This is really cool. Today and yesterday I registered about 130 domains all together. I also found an alternative DNS service since all the main ones have silly restrictions on them now.
While registering, I found myself exclaiming, "Damn you, woofcat" all too often... you've chosen some cool ones, BUT you missed some obvious ones... let the race bein... hehehe :-)
But thanks for telling us about Krzystan or whatever it's called... if it hadn't been for you, not even we advanced 'round here would know about it.

[Canuckkev]

Would you mind telling me more about this "alternative DNS service"?(name/URL woud be nice)

Since I have about 300, did you ever run into a "Damn you, Nick!" ;).

Sorry, I already finished that race :p.

[matdin97]

can't change domain info..
password problem...

[xman241]

Well, I'm still registering like 40 domains / day. It seems that whatever I think of is still available. I envy that person who got 1.com.kg some time ago... As long as I can find names to reister, the race is still on for me. I mean, as long as names like cnn.com.kg are around, how can it be finished?
And yes, Nick, I have run into your name a few times as well.
The alternative DNS service I use as an alternative to mydomain.com, which BTW is back in working order (I've got about 115 .com.kg's with them now), is hn.org. I son't know yet how good they are, but they're not as big as mydomain.com. I can't decide if that's good or bad, hmm..

[Canuckkev]

Thanks for the address. Seems that the there is a problem with the registration service though. When I try to register/modify a domain, all that happens is a page that says "oops" comes up. Do you guys use the site to register, or email them?

[Canuckkev]

Nevermind, it's working now. Wonder how amny I can register in an hour?...hmm....

[Omari]

you guys are waisting your time with this .com.kg stuff... i know for a fact that they are not worth anything and i also know for a fact that you won't use all of the ones you are registering... you are just stopping people who would use them from getting them...

...so :confused:

[Canuckkev]

I now plan on using at least one of them. Maybe two....a third just for a cool email address(i checked, but Fuc|<.com.kg has been registered). I do agree that there is no point in getting ones like yahoo.com.kg, or msn.com.kg . If anything, Yahoo could sue you because the url contains Yahoo.com, which is a probably a registered trademark or something. And a .com.kg isn't that bad a url. Better than a --------, or tsx.org, or da.ru, or come.to/ ....

And the registration service seems to not be working again.

[jAcKz]

Ok, I know that this question will make you guys laugh, but anyway... Where can I get one of these com.kg domains for free??? Thx in advance!

[Canuckkev]

No, for awhile yesterday(thursday) it was working. I've tried all day, but it still won't work. I don't want to register any more, just change the name servers. Oh well...it can't stay down forever...

Me too (a few hours ago). Could it be that the domain has to be active to change dns?

Only yahoo?

I think all owners of registered trademarks can sue you, if you use their trademarks in your domain.

I wonder how many people register domains with trademarks and do not own them. So the free domain could get very expensive. But who really wants *.*.kg domains for more than fun?

Are there big (non-russian) searchengines, which allow kg-domains? AFAIK altavista does not accept *.kg.

[Canuckkev]

Hmm...that's pretty crappy if search engines won't accept the addresses.

[Albert]

That is a general problem. Mayor US-searchengines reject cc-TLDs very often, when they have a local searchengine in the country. If you would like to subscribe to non-english searchengines the domains are limited most times, but com/net/org will work most times. Anywhere in the forum I read a post, who offers a lot of subdomains with .at

No chance to register with altavista.com, even de.altavista.com does not accept all .at-sites or it takes *very* long to be in the index, while .at-domains are very fast included in at.altavista.com. I tried this with the ad-free FWP 8ung.at

It is also a problem with searchengines, when you own a com-domain and use a non-english FWP.

I tried a lot to be listed in country-searchengines with topics that are really interesting for this country. The only way was to make a mirror site with a FWP of this country.

kg domains are very rare at the moment probably. I could not find any with altavista's or google's url-search

[Albert]

Today I found my *.ch homepage in Altavista Brasil, although I never subscribed for Brasil, but for .ch. So I tried to subscribe my not activated *.com.kg homepage with altavista.com and surprise the domain was not rejected.
