What’s she up to?

I’ve been online 10+ years. I just registered my very first .nl domain.

Ooooh, scary…

    Naah, have to wait till I’ve got a proper plan and a team.

    Do you still have to have a Dutch host for that?

  4. Caroline says March 24, 2004 at 12:39 pm

    Yes, it seems you do. I was pretty annoyed. And then I have to wait for them to send me their bill – I can’t pay with credit card. So it takes days to get the domain.

    Hm, not quite true. We register .nl domains (we are a member of the sidn) and host them in for example the US. The host has to follow some requirements but that’s all.

    This domain registration thing is stupid. Now I have to sign a form and send or fax it back to the hosting company, otherwise they can’t register it for me. Fuck sake.

    @Merel: online since October 1993.

    If I remember correctly, I think IJsbrand has been online longer than that.

    … aaaand they don’t accept a p.o. box, must give my street address. Now they’re sending me a form and when I sign that and send it back they will FINALLY register my bloody domain. This is insane.

    Back in ’97 I was working for a “new media” company who already owned the .com version of their name and wanted to register the .ca. I contacted the .ca registrar and they faxed me an 11 page document that had to be partially completed ny the legal dept. These days it’s a bit easier but still not as simple as it should be.

  12. Caroline says March 26, 2004 at 8:07 pm

    … the continuing saga. They got my name wrong on the form they sent.
