Over 6,000 .ca domains dropped on Wednesday this week, the largest .ca drop in a long time.
Out of those dropped domains, only 107 were picked up in the TBR. In recent weeks, about 5,000 domains have dropped at TBR, and around 200 were picked up. I was wondering if this week's low pick up was due to low quality drops, or low par...

I just saw a press release from Escrow.com announcing that it recently "surpassed 1 billion dollars in secured transactions." Wow… that is an impressive number, which I think can be attributed to its top quality customer service and the level of trust in its brand. When it comes to larger transactions with buyers or sellers
Yesterday was a historical day for the Internet.
