I am very close to opening up a new site for registering .oss and .parody domain names. I'm still working on a few features, but for the most part the new code is ready to go.

The benefits...
- This time I actually know what I'm doing! When I wrote the original registration site, I barely had a grasp on how DNS worked, and that is apparent in the mixed screens available for entering fields.
- Like the reg.for.free site, this new page will allow you to create a basic DNS zone for your domain that is hosted here, or you can choose to use your own nameservers and build your records as you see fit.
- There will be actual expirations on domains, with emails sent out to notify owners of yearly renewals.
- I have support built in for other languages, and have been working with others to get translations for the bulk of the text.

The pitfalls...
- I still suck at website design. The theming I built is horrible, but the new engine has been designed with flexibility in mind, so at some point in the future I hope someone else can do better, and possibly offer different methods of building the DNS data.


One of the features of the new code I wrote is that it will perform validations on the information entered. While bring the current data for OSS and Parody into the new system, I discovered that a large number of registered domains don't actually have valid data, and are probably not even being used. There appears to only be 3 valid domains under parody, so I will open up that TLD on the new system first before moving OSS over.

This should start happening next week, depending on my available time. I'll make announcements as I get things moved around...
