They've specifically targeted small businesses. It appears to be a profitable route to take (from the outside). @ Rob – to be fair to Register.com, their market isn’t domainers.

Who wants to know who the CEO is anyway? What he got to hide? Ever see or hear of anyone from Register.com at any TRAFFIC or Domain Roundtable event? Not me. Right. Who wants to know who the CEO is anyway?

What he got to hide?

Ever see or hear of anyone from Register.com at any TRAFFIC or Domain Roundtable event? Not me.

I thought Cuban wanted to buy it but someone else did. TCX is the ticker for Tucows. @ Rob – Register.com was taken private, so they don’t have to disclose much.

In a 13D filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cuban revealed that he now owns more than 6.11 million shares of TCX, or an 8.9% stake in the company. Cuban began buying in June, securing 3.3 million shares in a range of $0.94 to $1.04 per share between June 21st and July 15th. Cuban then added to this stake beginning on August 11th, when he bought 2.5 million shares at $0.90 per share via TCX's secondary offering, in which existing shareholders sold 21.82 million shares and the company sold 410K new shares. Cuban has bought another 311,700 shares in a range of $0.87 to $0.92 since then, with the most recent buy coming on August 19th. Cuban's cost basis on his TCX holding is 96 cents per share.

I went to the site looking for management information. Nothing. Went to NASDAQ and searched their stock symbol RCOM. Nothing. So, after some admittedly quick research, I cannot find the CEO, management or any stock holders. Anyone have any insight as to why all the management and ownership information is hidden away? Great company, huh? VERY good question. I went to the site looking for management information. Nothing.

Register.com's trademark was cheapened long ago. After all Mark Cuban is involved. What do you expect? NEVER liked Register.com. “In this case, it seems that Register.com’s trademark has been cheapened.”
