Effective November 9 RU-CENTER'S fee for a domain sold at an auction will
reduce down to 7% and now
minimum and maximum fee limits are thereby abolished. This makes the domains
sale process at auction.nic.ru more profitable!
Furthermore, the users may specify the dedicated rubrics, for which the sold
domain may be attributed to.
This will ease the domain search for the buyers and enhance the chance of
its successful sale.
Rubrics and descriptions of the domains sold may be changed at any auction
stage.
With a view to the above, effective November 9, 2009 the "Domain Name
Auction Schedule" will be modified accordingly.

DNS PREDELEGATION PROCEDURE:
-------------------------
Automatically is being checked:
- domain name registration
- number of NS records
- values in SOA record
- consistency of SOA and NS records
- authority of given nameservers
- activity of email address in SOA record
DNS checking is based on following standards and recommendations:
Lines in report that start with:
- OK: are messages about successful tests
- INFO: are informative messages
- WARN: are messages about potentially problematic settings
- ERROR: are error messages
ERROR: line is usually followed by a group of INFO: lines that describe possible reasons for errors.
Note: Messages describing errors can be repeated in predelegation process
if checkings are performed in different phases of the process.
If you notice domain name repeatedly in error messages, for example:
INFO: Primary MX record for domain.si: 10 mail.domain.si.domain.si
this means you forgot to put an '.' at the end of the record, which results in default addition of local domain.
Whole procedure and possible error reasons can be found below.
For additional information about domain delegation, please contact your registrar.

Namecheap downtime
During the maintenance communication with the registry will be unavailable affecting new registrations, renewals, and transfers.
Starting at 6 PM PT on Friday, October 23rd, 2009 until Saturday, October 24th at 2 AM PT, namecheap will be conducting maintenance on our database and datacenter. As a result communication with the registry will be unavailable affecting new registrations, renewals, and transfers.
The following services will not be affected and will continue to be fully operational:
- DNS will resolve normally - although operational through this downtime, any changes to DNS settings may be delayed intermittently for a period of up to 24 hours from the start of the maintenance period
- All web hosting services will work normally
- Email will send and receive normally
- Email and URL forwarding will operate normally
Namecheap anticipate the maintenance will only last up to eight hours.
