upDomain Names
Domain_Names guides users to subcategories which contain all resources and services having to do with Domain Name Services. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed database used by computer systems to map between hostnames and IP addresses, and to provide electronic mail routing information. Each site (university department, campus,company, or department within a company, for example) maintains its own database of information and runs a server program that other systems across the Internet can query. The DNS provides the protocol which allows clients and servers to communicate with each other. This category and its sub-categories include the companies that provide the resources to make this system work, companies that provide the resources to end users for use or resell and sites that discuss issues in the system.

Domains Reregistered for Distribution of Unrelated Content - A Case Study of "Tina's Free Live Webcam" http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/people/edelman/renewals/Research documenting 4525 domains registered by 'Tina's Free Live Webcam.' Each domain was previously used by another registrant, and Tina seems to have specifically sought to re-register the domains as they became available. Includes a discussion of the scope of this problem, policy implications, and possible solutions.
The Register - Cracking down on cyberspace land grabs http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/06/11/cracking_down_on_cyberspace_land/Reports on an IP-block hijacking when "Los Angeles County had been hit by a growing type of hi-tech fraud, in which large, and usually dormant, segments of the Internet's address space are taken away from their registered users through an elaborate shell game of forged letters, ephemeral domain names and anonymous corporate fronts."
Subcategories
Disputed Domain Names Informational sites related to domain name disputes.
For Sale or Auction This category is for the listing of sites that provide domain names for sales or auction. Domain squatting is severely discouraged. Brokers, listers, and similar sites should submit to the General
Brokers subcat for proper listing. Mass sellers (any site listing more than 50 domain names and/or websites for sale) should submit to the Mass Sellers subcategory. Please make sure to read the descriptions in both BEFORE submitting to ensure that your listing follows the guidelines for that category. Please check the FAQ if you have further questions.
(less...) Sites for official ICANN-authorised registries for top level domains.
OpinionsParking Domain name parking is the process of registering a domain name without immediately using it for a Web site. This saves Web hosting fees. However, in order to register a domain name, you must provide
the names of two DNS servers. These listings include companies willing to allow you to use their DNS servers for parked domains. For the most part, they charge a fee for this service. They may only allow domain name parking if you pay them to register the domain name (not allowing another registrar). They may also tie domain name parking to use of their Web server in the future.
(less...) Companies whose primary business is offering the registration of new domains to clients.
Resources The sites that do not fit in any other categories under the C/I/Domain_Names/ category. Sites that provide services such as news, statistics, directories of sites related to domain names, guides.
There are sites that fall under the description above, while providing domain registration services. These sites should go under the appropriate alphabar letter.

(less...) Da numerische IP-Adressen schlecht zu merken sind, wurden Namen eingeführt, über die man die ans Internet angeschlossenen Rechner ansprechen kann. Diese Namen sind hierarchisch in der Form
rechner.subdomain.domain.tld aufgebaut. Die folgenden Top-Level-Domänen (TLDs) sind seit längerer Zeit verfügbar: com (commercial) kommerzielle Firmen und Unternehmen.edu (educational) Bildungseinrichtugnen, Universitäten und Colleges (hpts. USA).gov (government) US-Regierung.int (international) Völerrechtliche Einrichtungen und internationale Datenbanken.mil (military) US-Militär.net (network) Internet-Provider.org (organisation) sonstige Einrichtungen. Im Jahr 2000 wurden dann von ICANN sieben weitere Top-Level-Domänen eingeführt. Siehe auch: ICANN-Webseite. Zusätzlich gibt es für jedes Land der Welt eine eigene TLD, die sich nach den zweibuchstabigen ISO-3166-Codes richtet. Die Wichtigsten sind: de - Deutschlandat - Österreichch - Schweiz be - Belgienfr - Frankreichit - Italiennl - Niederlandeli - Liechtensteinlu - Luxemburg uk - Großbritannienus - USA Unterhalb dieser Top-Level-Domänen können Firmen, Einrichtungen oder Privatpersonen ihren eigenen Namen registieren lassen. Domänennamen sind inzwischen immer mehr zum entscheidenden Marketinginstrument geworden, was dazu geführt hat, dass einige Anbieter sich ausschließlich der Registrierung von Domänen widmen. Um Administratoren die Suche nach solchen lokalen Registrierstellen zu erleichtern wurde die Kategorie 'Offizielle Registrierstellen' erstellt, welche die aktuellsten Registrierstellen der jeweiligen nationalen Domäne wiedergibt.

DNS Protocol The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory service. A network of DNS servers respond to requests to translate between domain names (such as dmoz.org) and IP, Internet Protocol,
numeric addresses (such as 207.200.81.139) for URLs and email delivery. Most Internet services rely on DNS to work.
(less...) This category is the umbrella category for links to resources in the areas of software globalization,

(less...) Address Management is the process of maintaining and editing Domain Name Service (DNS) configurations. DNS ties text-based domain names to the numeric IP Addresses that are necessary to locate the
domain's server on the net. Address Management solutions become necessary when: An administrator needs to maintain many domain names. An administrator needs to assign and track separate names for many machines within one domain. A domain name changes IP address frequently, requiring Dynamic DNS (DDNS). This is most commonly used by individuals who connect their server to the internet using a modem.

added under the REGIONAL category for the parts of the world they serve (for instance, National ISPs in the U.S.A. would go under Regional/USA). Sites that do not offer Internet access, such as companies that specialize in web hosting and domain name registration, don't belong under here since they have their own Open Directory category elsewhere. If you find another good worldwide list of ISPs, you can add that under Regional. ISP lists that only deal with some portion of the world should be added under the category for the parts of the world they cover. You may want to add "[ISPLIST]" to the beginning of the title of the site, to set it apart from the normal listings.

(less...) From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 Sep 00): A popular distributed document retrieval system which started as a Campus Wide Information System at the University of Minnesota. Many
hosts on the Internet now run Gopher servers which provide a menu of documents. A document may be a plain text file, sound, image, submenu or other Gopher object type. It may be stored on another host or may provide the ability to search through certain files for a given string. From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 Jan 2000): gopher n. A type of Internet service first floated around 1991 and obsolesced around 1995 by the World Wide Web. Gopher presents a menuing interface to a tree or graph of links; the links can be to documents, runnable programs, or other gopher menus arbitrarily far across the net. Some claim that the gopher software, which was originally developed at the University of Minnesota, was named after the Minnesota Gophers (a sports team). Others claim the word derives from American slang `gofer' (from "go for", dialectal "go fer"), one whose job is to run and fetch things. Finally, observe that gophers dig long tunnels, and the idea of tunneling through the net to find information was a defining metaphor for the developers. Probably all three things were true, but with the first two coming first and the gopher-tunnel metaphor serendipitously adding flavor and impetus to the project as it developed out of its concept stage.

and add to the contents. While this category is not the place, if you are interested in the history of the WWW one place to start might be: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/History/Lists_Of_Sources/ This category contains links to other categories only. Please do not submit here. If you do it will lengthen the time it takes for your site to be accepted because we must then try to decide where your site best fits. What we decide is not necessarily what you would decide. Please help us both and find the best fit for your site. Submission Guidelines - The Open Directory Project editors are committed to building the most useful Directory on the Internet. We want to help your promotion efforts by listing your site in a timely manner. We want your website to be found easily. By choosing the most appropriate category, you assist us in both these efforts. Sites which are incomplete, having Under Construction notices, or which contain broken graphics or links have a poor chance of being listed. Please wait to submit your web site until it is complete. Please double-check the URL, and, if possible, include an e-mail address so we may contact you if we have questions.
(less...) Providers of remotely-hosted message boards and forums. This includes services that are free or that require a fee or subscription for use. These message boards do not require server-side installation
of software. They are popular for use on free web hosts, web sites without enough space or bandwidth to host a message board, and for webmasters who are uncomfortable with locally hosted message board installation and maintenance. Message boards about web design are located in Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Chats_and_Forums/.
(less...) Free web hosting has become an important element in the growth of the Internet over the past several years. The number of firms in this market has expanded rapidly and continues to grow, as have the
range and sophistication of the services they provide. The Open Directory seeks to identify and provide accurate and informative links to as many of these hosts as possible. However, all firms that provide 'free hosting' do not qualify for listings in Hosting/Free and its sub-categories. For our purposes, 'free web hosting' consists of providing space for English-language hypertext and related documents on computers that can be accessed via the Internet to individuals or organizations at no out-of-pocket expense and without requiring the purchase of any other product or service as a pre-condition. Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which provide web-space to their subscribers as part of an overall service, are listed in the Regional/ hierachary. Hosts that provide service in languages other than English are listed under World/. Hosts that provide only minimal 'free hosting' as an inducement to purchase their fee-based services will not usually be listed here, although they may qualify for inclusion in other hosting categories: Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Hosting Business/E-Commerce/Services/Hosting Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development Submissions from 'co-branded' or 'private-label' hosts will only be accepted if they provide substantial original content. Submissions from 'affiliate' or 'referal' agents and those with redirected URLs will not be knowingly accepted and will be deleted when identified. The following template is used to describe sites listed here: Target audience Used only when needed to clairy to whom a listing is aimed or particularly appeals; for example, to distinguish between particular interests in the Arts_and_Humanities, Culture_and_Heritage, Cars,_Trucks_and_Cycles, Special_Interest and similar sub-categories. Available web-space Stated in megabytes (Mb), and followed by any known relevant information such as bandwidth limits, type of Internet connection, or access to secure servers. Advertising The type and frequency of required or 'forced' advertising; and, if known, whether advertising placed by the user (site-owner) is permitted. Some hosts will share the revenue produced by forced advertising with the site-owner and this is indicated when possible. Uploads The method by which site files are transmitted to the host for publication on the Internet. Most typically, this is done using the user's web browser addressed to a 'file-manager' program on the host's site. Less frequently, files are transmitted using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program, which is more flexible but somewhat more difficult to use. Some hosts make both methods available and a few require that files be transfered via e-mail. Features The availability of e-mail accounts, graphic libraries and similar features are indicated here. CGI and scripting The extent to which CGI (Common Gate Interface) scripts and related factors such as Microsoft FrontPage extensions, SQL (Structured Query Language) and database access are supported are indicated here. Sample URL A sample URL (Universal Resource Locator) is usually provided to give some idea how the hosted site's web address will appear in printed materials.
(less...) A directory of internet sites that helps people on the internet to communicate and interact with each other. These sites feature services such as message forums, chat rooms, email and other messaging
services. They may also feature online games and other ways for user to interact. These sites offer the users a hub for a specific subject and have information and other resources there. Subject-specific communities should be listed with the subject category. For shortcuts to some of these, see By_Subject.
