Web.Nu and Info.Nu in auction again?

I am monitoring these two premium .NU domain names web.nu and info.nu. It is currently listed for auction in Sedo.com with current bid as of today. I saw web.nu and info.nu were listed in auction last November 2007. I blog the results here as part of my research for .NU current sales: http://www.king.net/2008/01/jobsnu-and-billnu-domain-names-are.html

Hostage.TV

This is a very interesting morning for me today. I checked my domain portfolio and one of my domain name is expired since last March 16, 2008. So 20 days past due after the expiration. I'm not worried as I thought that I have 30 days before going to redemption period.

Well, I logged in and check my domains so I can renew it today. Whooh! I don't see my precious HOSTAGE.TV (^_^) domain name in my godaddy account. So I called their customer service and I have to wait 8-10 minutes before someone is ready to address my issue. I found out that after 12 days of expiration date, your domain name will go to "redemption period". I'm not sure if this is nogodaddy only policy or standard redemption period for all .TV registrar.

I have to pay the redemption fees of $80 + $39.99 renewal. This is why my HOSTAGE.TV domain name is precious.

So what I've learned today?

• If you have a .TV domain name in godaddy, transfer out early.
• Watch out for low registration cost of .TV from them, you will not like it later on. Read the fine print.
• 12 days after expiration, you will pay $80 redemption fees.
• If you don't renew your domain, godaddy will auction this domain in public. Another way for them to make money from your precious domain.
• Don't use their service.

I'm good now!

New home for EMIL.KING.NET

Hello to everyone,

This is to inform you that we have a new home, new mailing list, new template and; neat tools to keep you posted and interact with fellow entrepreneurs.

This website (blog) is now powered by blogger.com courtesy by google. The main reason of moving from dedicated hosting to google hosting service is to eliminate server administration on my long list of daily routine. Without server administration, I will be able to allocate my time to manage our projects, advertising and marketing services, buying more domains, be able to respond on some emails on a timely manner, etc.

Transitioning documents, this will be a slow process as I intend to re-upload only 3 months old articles useful to some of you. For the mean time, please peruse the website and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any good feedback (^_^).

Just in case you want to see our old website, it is right here:
