JuliannaThere are so many things I want to accomplish life, and sometimes it can seem too big to get my head around.

There are some helpful tools out there that can help you create a clearer picture of where…

Amy ElderkinHere at Webnames.ca we’re nothing if not topical – and perhaps a little obsessive, as I was reminded when my wife gave me my Valentine’s gift this morning. Now I just need to work out if she was being humorous, or dropping me a not so subtle hint that I’ve been a little pre-occupied with…
Garrett SaundryIt’s easy to make changes at home when it comes to helping out the environment, but it’s a little different at the office. I think that this is because when you’re at home, you can track how much you spend on the water bill, heat or hydro. At the office it’s a bit different since…

Webnames.ca Staff.Asia launched general registration yesterday, March 26, 2008. .Asia domains are now available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Garrett SaundryWith the impending launch of another TLD in .ASIA, it gets me thinking what is a domain worth? Although your answer of “Well whatever somebody is willing to pay for it silly!” is technically correct, but not altogether right. Domains are like land here in Vancouver. There is a finite amount and it seems like everybody wants some…
Garrett SaundryDon’t wait until the last minute to submit your .ASIA domains. Landrush closes on March 12 (check out the cool countdown ticker on the right). They’ve come up with a new and novel way of registering conflicting domains. Domains that have more than one person that try to register them automatically go to auction. It’s up…

Garrett SaundrySo It’s late on a Wednesday night, you’re sitting at home in front of your computer in your fuzzy bunny slippers and your red flannel pyjamas with the monkeys all over them. You’re surfing some of the more interesting websites that you can’t go to at work or doing some online shopping because you’re pretty…
JuliannaJust a reminder that you have until February 8, 2008 to submit your .CA story to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority for a chance to win one of five shiny-happy Apple MacBooks. All you need to do is tell CIRA how you are using your .CA domain and maybe why you chose a .CA name…
