PROOF that new.net is a "scam".

[DarkTemplar194]

Ok, not a scam, but what I mean is they aren't real domain names.

If you have the stupid plugin (I removed it, it took over my IE stuff), then go to www.soundoftheweb.shop . As a demonstration. That's one of a domains registered. That happens to load www.soundoftheweb.shop.new.net. All the plugin does is add domain entries to redirect to that new.net subdomain. What a ripoff.:confused2 I mean come on! Good domains are already available and more coming, US, INFO, BIZ, etc. Why waste money on a FAKE domain ???

uh, you JUST found this out?

[DarkTemplar194]

no, I just never thought of posting it here.:rolleyes:

If you don't have the plug-in and your ISP isn't in bed with new.net, your domain wouldn't even resolve to www.soundoftheweb.shop.new.net so it's even more pointless.

Exactly.
Besides, the NIC's are getting more new domains like a REAL .museum, .pro, and .aero.

I don't know why people would pay for such a stupid service. Really, there are about 5-6 of these "fake domain" services out there. New.net only has "users" due to the fact most of the users don't even know they are users.

To this day, I have not hit any new.net domains on the Internet.

[DarkTemplar194]

Same here! Not even one. :o

But are those fake things like that pacific root and atlantic root thing? the .com2 domain???

If it's not ICANN approved, it's fake, If ICANN wants to enable a TLD new.net (or another fake TLD) is using, they should just do it and say screw new.net. Let new.net refund all the users (if they have any) and tell the public they run a service that is of no good to anyone.

LOL, they can't just turn new.net into a domain name if someone (www.new.net) is using it! But they can make .shop a domain name.

Still I think any domain TLD with more then 3 characters (in each segment) is a waste of space. The internet is still so young...

Hmmm, .com’s etc are all authorized for use by an authority. New.net does not have any (as far as I know) authorization to use these TLD’s, and if the authority wants to use them. They will.

Too bad for new.net suckers. Now, I don’t think the authority will just drop them, however, will work with them to post the registered domain over to a real system. Personally, I’d charge new.net $7/domain. If the domain authority makes new.net the “official” registry of a TLD new.net uses, good for them. However, due to the vast amount of new.net fake TLD’s, I don’t think they will allow all new.net TLD’s to become active (as that’s way to many) and I don’t think new.net will offer two service i.e. “get a real domain for $15-$20/year or a fake domain for $25/year”.

This goes to show you that people will buy anything and there are tons of suckers!

[lotsofissues]

The real ones are worthlesss themselves.

Anyone ever seen a .info?

[doofynz]

i have this meta search engine www.searchonline.info has a dot info good search engine by the way

[DarkTemplar194]

INFO domains are not new.net domains. They are real. :rolleyes:
