Most of us have faced following situation that is quite common. If you use a computer, you know exactly what I mean. You probably want to rise to the fact that you the 'are the terms and conditions or service' when you install new software are invited to. Most of us in the box "I agree" click click, instead of page after page General read. If you consent or agree, an unscrupulous providers can easily implement a custom "gotcha".
This happened to me. This is my story, and I stay there!
Do you have a Web address? If so, you have a Web property. It is up to you. You can create a Web site, or you can be what is known as a "Domain Registrar" for you to hang. You, of course, pay them a specific amount to administer it. The name basically to "Parking only"sits"and you".
Doing no one can shop under website name, though, doesn't it? False. "Terms of Service Agreement" can but only if you read the domain registrar. Said differently, if you without reading the terms and conditions of the provider on "I agree" clicked have and they have the right, written in the terms of doing business on your behalf (and you actually use it for the moment) they can do so.
Wait a minute! Have the name and the domain registrar can a website put up and "Monetize" your website and earn money for it? Yes, if clicked "I agree you" and permission was within the service agreement. That this happen to you is embarrassing and alarming. It really is the Wild West on the Internet.
This snake oil scour Web properties, which are "parked" and an inactive site seller of the domain registrars. They find that is attractive and they check on whether the idiot/owner "I agree" has clicked. Gotcha! The disreputable domain registrar then hires a third party for a "bucket of fish heads" and developed your website (i.e. now temporarily their website since you are not using it, and gave them permission to do so) and then they link "Pay per click" display deals with vendors. The domain registrar Gets the money from the clicks. You pay to the domain registrar the name manage and profit from advertising revenues go to them. What do you get? The shaft.
Pretty neat deal, right? It is for them.
What can you do about it? You can online shop for a reputable domain registrar and you read on before you click the small print "I agree" relative to the terms and conditions. Just have, that you very few other options than bend over and take you on the back for is so stupid in the first place.
There are probably many honest and trusted domain registrars on the Internet. However, you must be careful. Computer crime of all kinds is on the rise, and we live in a asymmetric threat to the environment shall be can. But if you yourself are found an accomplice in the high elevation of have your Web property, it is a humbling experience.
I felt how I fair was chiseled only to the County by a Carnie had. Instead, I was carved by my own countrymen who do a damn lot of domain registration companies. Shame on all of you.
Shame on me, also for less than vigilant.
