    HOW DO I REGISTER?

    Brian,

    I am in charge of OpenDomain because I spent my time personal money to buy these domains from squatters so I can help out Open Groups. Of course I need some terms so my contribution does not get abused. Can you clarify what your spefic problem is?

    Your _constructive_ input would be appreciated!

    hiya,
    We want a domain but when we try and register you need an iname which costs money so how do you get a free domain?

    It is nice for you to run this service for free …
    But it seems that some of these terms hamper the progress of a site , it seems that someone using one of your Domains for his/her Own Server must change the content of their site for the Domain Name … That the journalistic quality of the site will be degraded because they were forced to , “Sell Their Soul To You” , for the effective cost of $6.95 … I agree that it is your service to do what you will , but this Certainly is not an open source mindset that you have , but after all this is the internet …
    what do I know ?

    “All outbound links must be marked with the nofollow attribute. For example, all anchor tags should have rel=”nofollow” in their markup. This does NOT include the link to OpenDomain.Org”

    -As I understand it, this effectively means search engines will see opendomain.org as the ONLY outbound link from websites, giving all your SEO weight to opendomain and none to the other sites you’ve linked to. Not good!

    Hi to every good soul. my question is this. there are lots of sites over the net that provides links to apps, games, 3d stuffs share through filehosting servers. is it possible to do it with opendomain?

    Thank you

    Cedric, i think Brian didn’t understood that your terms are for the domains obtained through opendomains.org and thought you were referring to all internet domains instead ;) (that’s why the “why do you think you are god”)

    With the nofollow term, I would definately avoid using these ‘open’ domains. Also be aware that once your site is REALLY popular, terms could suddenly change, or your domain could potentially be withdrawn and used for other purposes, this together with nofollow term, *could* in worst case be used to completely hijack your website..
