A smart move by GoDaddy – the king registrar of the .XXX TLD launch with more than 50% marketshare: they are updating their .XXX FAQ and emailing domain registrants about it.
Our first .XXX registrations were not sent this email that GoDaddy has just started sending out as soon as someone registers .XXX domains:
Dear [username],
Thank you for registering the following domain(s):
***.XXX
Below you’ll find additional details on the .XXX registration process. Please carefully review the option that best fits your needs.
Protecting your brand, product or personal name? If you do NOT wish to publish content to your .XXX domain (i.e. create a website, park pages, etc.), NO further action is needed. While you will receive emailed instructions from the ICM Registry on how to become a member of the Sponsored Community, these instructions can be ignored.
