List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Monday, 22 July 2002 I came across www.nz-domain-names.co.nz today. At first glance it looked interesting (they state they used SOTD as an example) but was dated in March. Two things came to mind when I looked at the site: Where did they get the data from for the rankings, and Looking at the site I got the impression pdom was involved. I guess that perhaps the data from the first question was from a .nz zonefile. Last year Domainz stopped allowing anyone to download the .nz zone file and was on an approved download only basis (which is a very good idea). This site says it got data from the public domain and 'useful links' section of the (old) Domainz website. The second point is interesting. Both this domain name and the pdom domain name have very similar whois details as well as both are hosted on the same class C domain, X.X.X.74 vs X.X.X.79. Now, these could be random chance, but very similar whois data, same class C for hosting and a comment 'thanking pdom' makes me think that maybe it is just pdom using a private label website to drum up business? Nothing wrong with that but it might be nice to come out in the open and state this (or hide it better :-) 11:38:56 PM      Like to comment? [] ING dropped as .au reseller Internet Registry (ING), that has a rather dubious approach to marketing has been kicked out as a reseller of MelboureIT as report by the Financial Review. auDA also back in April suspended ING as a provisional registrar. These are the same guys that Domainz took action against in NZ in May. 10:16:11 AM      Like to comment? [] © Copyright 2007 Foxbane Ltd and Steven Heath. Last update: 9/07/2007; 9:58:54 p.m..
