Why Renewing Your Domain Name Matters *

Say, I wonder if anything interesting is happening in the Virginia political blogosphere? Guess not.

  • Particularly if you run an association dedicated to spreading controversial political ideology.

UPDATE: Turns out ODBA didn’t own the domain in the first place, so it wasn’t a renewal issue after all. But it’s still good advice to renew your domain names. And this incident should serve as a reminder that it’s also good to reserve related domain names as a defensive measure. There are veritable armies of cybersquatters on the Internets with dubious business practices. Not to mention all the dubious political operatives out there.

P.S. No I don’t approve of cybersquatting. But unfortunately it’s perfectly legal.
